Our bodies are designed for movement, but modern life keeps us sitting, slouching, and straining against gravity. In this enlightening conversation, movement specialist Tom McCook shares how we can reclaim our body’s natural intelligence through mindful movement, posture awareness, and practical daily practices.

Tom introduces us to the Franklin Method, an approach that combines movement, imagery, and evolutionary biomechanics to optimize how we move. He also explains why feet are the key to balance, how posture is a dynamic relationship with gravity, and why pain is often just a request for movement.
