FINAL THOUGHTS
"All living systems are homeostatic, yet they are never
frozen still . . . there is ceaseless change in complexity,
continual oscillation within the healthy, life-sustaining
ranges. Life is ceaseless movement; stability is found
in balance, not rigidity."—Neil Theise
16
Manual and movement workers and therapists
alike recognize a drive to move toward growth. I'm
constantly amazed at the creative ways the body works
around a surgery or creatively adapts to challenges.
Mental and physical suffering is usually about, for lack
of a better phrase, being stuck. Our role as healers is not
always about taking all the barriers away, but sometimes
inspiring a new way to dance around a challenge.
When we pause to ref lect on the question "Movement
for what?" we can answer that movement is for what
matters in life. We create space for it all—daily walking,
the hugging of loved ones, the tasks we do at work,
and the passions we pursue. Life is movement.
