We often think of flexibility as just being able to touch our toes, but what if I told you that joint flexibility is one of the first signs your body is breaking down? It’s not just about comfort—it's about neuromuscular health, longevity, and preventing silent muscle wasting before any pain or weakness shows up.
In this episode, I’ll break down why flexibility declines with age, how it affects your nervous system, and why traditional healthcare and fitness programs are missing a huge piece of the puzzle. I’ll also introduce you to my MAP a PP™ system—our non-diagnostic movement assessment designed to detect unhealthy joints long before dysfunction becomes obvious.
Whether you're a PTA looking for a legal and profitable way to go solo, or someone who's feeling stiff and tired of chasing temporary fixes, this episode will open your eyes to what’s really going on in your body.
