This week, we argue that traditional, forceful stretching may be counterproductive because the feeling of "tightness" is often a protective measure—a "brake"—imposed by the nervous system when it perceives instability or threat. This system unconsciously restricts movement and strength to prevent harm. Instead of mechanically overpowering this brake, the Original Strength philosophy advocates for simple, restorative movements (like rolling, rocking, and crawling) which are inherently non-threatening and increase stability. By making the brain feel safe and secure, these "RESET" movements prompt the nervous system to naturally ease the muscular restrictions, resulting in an effortless, genuine increase in mobility and strength.
