Michael Jackson…The Smooth Criminal

As you’ve probably figured out, this post will have nothing to do with relieving low back pain, motor control or injury prevention.

It does, however, have much to do with human movement.

Michael Jackson passed away today. The response was incredible. Humans were moved.

Whether you were a fan or detractor, whether you are young or old, I am certain he influenced you more than you’re aware.

It’s been a few hours since I heard the news, but I think it’s only really starting to sink in.

Michael Jackson has died.

Though his eccentricity has overshadowed his former artistic prowess of late, Michael Jackson represented more than just a musician, more than a dancer, more than just the King of Pop.

He represented the ultimate cool, the ultimate smooth criminal.

Red leather jackets. Sparkly white gloves. And the moonwalk.

He inspired a generation and made his mark on the world.

Who’s bad?

Rest in peace.

CRUTCH! The power of human movement.

The power of the human body when faced with physical adversity is quite amazing.

This quick clip demonstrates the ability of the body to adapt to the challenges presented from the painful effects of Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease. 

What’s stopping you from moving? 

Is it pain? Restricted joints? Injuries? Scar tissue? 

Lack of time? Lack of motivation? Lack of knowledge?

Or laziness?

Yours in movement.
