LEARN TO GET YOURSELF OUT OF PAIN. Minimal, yet targeted and intentional movement can create regeneration of the body! Hey, Gates here and I wanted to share with you a unique opportunity that I had to do an in-person session with a truck driver over the road. We want to be able to move without feeling overly tight and restricted. We want to have the ability to move in a variety of ways. We need to move and do it without pain. The best way I've found to do this is through my training with functional patterns. FP seeks to provide you with a real foundation of movement, decoded from the human biological blueprint. FP, protocols, and the application of sound biomechanics, is what I will attempt to show you in this video. Remember that, what I don't know is much greater than what I do know. And I hope I will always have many more questions than answers. I know delving into this, that there are others that have devoted their lives to studying biomechanics and have a much larger head start. However, I have also learned that if I wait to share what I have learned until I have it completely mastered. I would never get around to sharing anything. So let's get into it! Physical health issues that plague truck drivers include musculoskeletal injuries, sleep apnea, stress, depression and isolation, digestion issues, poor circulation, inflexibility, lack of energy, low libido and worst of all, obesity. When body fat increases, it is primarily a symptom of a structurally and physiologically inefficient body. An inefficient body does not make the reduction of body fat a priority. The big four in FP are: standing, walking, running and throwing. Walking seems to be what most truckers are willing to do for exercise, but first the correct posture and biomechanical basics need to be applied or you might just be further restricting, and injuring, your body. #motomelife #painfreetrucker #personaldevelopment #motometrucker #functionalpatterns #primeinc #trucking #veterantruckers #womentruckers References Aguilar, N., & Gallegos, R.

Trucker Low Back Pain Relief | Myofascial Release Upper Thigh | Functional Patters Relief of body pains is a complex process that requires us, as practitioners, to develop an understanding of the body as it operates as one machine. However, Preventative Maintenance and focused application to "lube up" specific parts is necessary. If one gear ⚙️ in an engine is so gunked up that it is not moving functionally it will begin to hinder other parts of the system. These hip flexors on the upper portion of the thigh are a key spot for those of us that sit regularly for our jobs, that gunk up causing dysfunctions in the body which lead to pain, and they need to be released.

The benefits of exercise for health have been known since the age of Plato. Plato said, "Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being while movement and methodical physical exercise save and preserve it." "Frank Booth, a prominent exercise scientist at the University of Missouri, has coined the term Sedentary Death Syndrome, or SeDS, and he and his colleagues have noted that physical inactivity is a primary cause of most chronic diseases" (Rawson et al., 2020). SeDS is extremely prominent in #trucking but hardly anyone is taking about it or doing anything to combat the effects. While the relatively short-term effects of sedentary behavior are seen as "metabolic deterioration and weight gain" (Rawson et al., 2020), the risks snowball over time to include diseases like diabetes and ultimately result in death (Rawson et al., 2020). The benefits of long-term exercise can be as significant as preventing death, cancer, or disease and as commonplace as enhancing sleep quality, hormonal balance, and body confidence. Movement has an order of operations, and it starts with good #posture with good structural integrity. Live MOTOvated ‼️🚛🇺🇸💯 #motomelife

The most significant PPE for Truckers to have on the 🛣️ road is Patience, Perspective, & Empathy. PPE for yourself, and for the other people that are involved in the industry and on the road. "It's NOT just about me; my time, my money." That's the mindset, and that's how you're gonna win out here! Because in the long term, I can still look around and, you know what? It'd still rather be driving this truck, than working in some other position, and I'm so grateful this is happening.
