Movement isn’t optional—our bodies need it to thrive. Many of us struggle to get regular exercise, and even when we do, it can fall short of truly nourishing the body from head to toe. How can we move more—a lot more—when parts of us are sore, stiff, or simply forgotten in our busy lives?

  • Long time favorite

    I have been listening to Katy and this podcast for years and remains one of those insightful shows in my library. I love the depth of the show. I still have a favorite episode staying all the way back from 2018 featuring a death Doula that was so profound.

  • Great podcast

    Katy Bowman is my favorite movement therapist. She describes things with such clarity and has great advice for everyone for staying active and strong.

    I just listened to the cycling podcast and really resonated with all the information.

    Something to add to the subject of better footwear for cycling is to use large flat pedals called catalyst pedals made by peddling innovations. pedaling innovations.com. They’re large enough to allow you to get the ball of your foot and the front of your heel ... more

  • Good content; needs more focus

    Katy is obviously an expert and tremendous source of information but obtaining that information from the podcast lately is like digging for buried treasure. Lots of discussion of how to to fit movement in with time constraints; apply this to the podcast and give your listeners and more well-structured, bang-for-your buck experience with less chit chat (you can keep some, but people listen for content!)

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Plantar Fasciitis: An Issue of Overuse, Underuse or Age?
Q: What should people do about plantar fasciitis?
Katy Bowman recommends strengthening and mobilizing the calves and intrinsic foot muscles, using the toes actively, and distributing load across more of the body. She offers toe-pressing practice and controlled calf raises, while emphasizing that recovery takes time.
Plantar Fasciitis: An Issue of Overuse, Underuse or Age?
Q: What is plantar fasciitis exactly?
Jeannette Loram explains that it commonly presents as heel pain, especially with the first steps after waking. Chronic cases often involve degeneration and disorganized collagen in the plantar fascia rather than ongoing inflammation.
Frozen Shoulder: What Is It Exactly, and How Can Exercises Help When Movement is Painful?
Q: What are hand paddles used for in swimming, and are they appropriate for someone recovering shoulder mobility?
Hand paddles can help with technique, load, and reach, but for someone returning after a long break or with shoulder sensitivity, starting with small paddles and focusing on form is advised; as strength and technique improve, you can progressively increase paddle size and usage time, ensuring the movement remains controlled and aligned with shoulder capsule mechanics.
Use Your Eyes and Ears to Improve the Way You Move
Q: What is the relationship between vision and movement?
Vision guides movement and navigation; when vision and the eye-brain system are working well together, balance and spatial awareness improve, whereas a mismatch can impair movement and confidence.
The Shape of Cycling — and How to Balance It
Q: Where do you think the sweet spot for pillow height is for upper back comfort and neck support during sleep after long cycles?
Find a pillow height that does not over-bend the neck, start with something soft and adjustable (like a rolled towel or a thin pillow), and gradually increase height in small steps as your neck elongates and you get more comfortable with the upper back being able to lengthen.
