MOVEMENT AS MEDICINE, a 90 minute webinar with Q&A time (may run 2 hours!) by Paul Chek, Holistic Health Practitioner. Paul shares how movement can be effectively used as “medicine” once an individual understands the bodies responses to movement. Paul shows you how movement influences the nervous, hormonal, organ and glandular systems of the body so you can better understand how to create safe and effective exercise programs. You will learn how to determine when your body needs “active rest” and how movement can be effectively utilized to create more energy. You will also learn about how “working-out” may be either beneficial, or detrimental, depending on your physical, emotional and mental readiness. Paul will show many ways that movement can be used to stimulate energy production, improved digestion, and serve as an aid to both healing and preventing disease. You will also gain an understanding as to the essential needs our body-mind has for movement as a form of “nutrition”. This webinar will be followed by part 2, where Paul will share several examples of different types of exercises, building on the essential understanding of how movement works, which is shared in this, Part 1 of Movement As Medicine.
