CONNECTED.
Pain doesn't always tell the whole story. Movement involves muscles, fascia, joints, nerves and compensation patterns working together — which is why understanding the body can change the way we think about discomfort and performance.

The goal isn't to turn you into an anatomy expert. It's to help you understand your body a little better.
