Z-health

Life is Movement. As the saying goes, “use it or lose it.” You could even say, “move it or lose it.” We weren’t made to just sit around. We weren’t made to stare at computers all day. We were made to move.

Movement keeps our bodies healthy. In fact, the quality of our movement determines the quality of our lives. Quality movement is using your joints in all the planes of motion they were made for with good postural alignment. In other words, if our joints aren’t moving well, our body isn’t going to perform as well as it should. Did you know just one immobile joint will affect the entire body because the body will compensate for the loss of the range of motion in the immobile joint? Some joints will end up moving too much and others will end up moving too little. For example, an immobile ankle could lead to elbow pain or a shoulder injury. The possibilities are many. The best way to keep the body healthy, strong and pain free is to own the movements of your joints.

Joint mobility is just as important for an athlete as it is for a grandparent. What if you are capable of throwing a 90 mph fastball, but the range of motion in your shoulder will not allow you to because your hip isn’t moving well? What if you often walk around in pain because you are unknowingly compensating for a lack of proper joint mobility? What if you could lose weight or build muscle because you learned how to move?

This is where Z-health comes in. Z-health is a dynamic joint mobility training system that improves your body’s “movement map” by targeting your nervous system. Our joints are loaded with mechanoreceptors, or sensory nerves, that when stimulated properly can improve our bodies’ movement map. Simple Z-Health joint mobility drills performed properly can have an instant impact on your body’s flexibility and joint mobility, often with an instant reduction of any pain felt prior to the drills. Repeating the drills consistently over time can reprogram your body’s overall, three-dimensional movement map. What does this mean to you? Pain free movement, increased performance, injury prevention, and enhanced health.

I am currently a Z-health Level 4 certified instructor. I have helped many clients improve their performance and decrease their pain by showing them how to regain their mobility and own the movements of their joints. Often within minutes of an assessment, clients have already improved their range of motion and have moved out of pain. Z-Health drills can be incorporated into any existing fitness program or used independently. Give me a call or shoot me an email if you would like a Z-Health assessment. You will enjoy learning how intertwined your different joints are, and how quickly you can improve your movements! Life is movement. Learn to move.

Tim and I have been working together for a couple of months. During this time my range of motion has improved dramatically. The changes being made with his training are improving my quality of life on the whole as well as my bike riding. When I am participating in an activity I hear Tim's voice in my head. By following the things he is teaching me I can be pain free and maintain a better fitness level.

I would recommend Tim as an instructor anytime, anywhere, to anyone!
