Katy Bowman – Paleo Parenting A Biomechanical Perspective
No, this really isn’t a “how to” parent course, but insights into the rarely considered mechanical environment, that could influence choices we make as parents.Most people are familiar that lying an infant on their back for extended periods of time can result in a flattening of the back of the head — a mis-shaping of the cranium in response to unnatural loads. This phenomenon of a body being shaped by the mechanical environment is happening all of the time but there is no time where the loads are more important than during those first few years when the tissues are being set.Just as a healthy diet is necessary for kids to develop, so is a movement diet rich in nutrients. Cultural practices are often perceived as “the best” because they are “the norm.” This course explains what a more robust movement profile looks like by offering a cross cultural perspective as well as the problems with the perspective that exercise is equal to movement.
