MASTERY & GRATITUDE
Why we created this signature series with 7 times CrossFit Games athlete Laurie Maschisnick:
According to the Arthritis Society, arthritis is a collection of conditions affecting joints and other tissues. It causes pain, restricts mobility and diminishes the quality of life. It’s a serious condition that affects 1 in 5 Canadians, and there is no cure.
It's common for individuals living with arthritis to seek alternative therapies to help control their pain. While this is not a substitute for medications prescribed, it can also assist in improving the overall quality of your daily life.
MVMNT collaborated with Laurie Meschisnick, 7 times Masters Crossfit Games athlete, and 2019 CrossFit Games Champion (55-59), to create a signature mobility and mindset series. Laurie suffers from rheumatoid arthritis and must keep her health and wellness a priority when training.
When living with arthritis, it's important to prioritize joint health daily. Mastering the connection to your body is essential to managing pain that can occur with arthritis. Part of Laurie’s series is a gentle full body joint articulation video, in this video we work through the entire body in a gentle and compassion way to slowly introduce your body to movement. This way we can communicate with our nervous system that movement is safe and can be pain free. Daily movement has been shown to be helpful in the long-term management of arthritis.
WHY MASTERY & GRATITUDE:
Another really important aspect of longer term management of arthritis is prioritizing your mental health. In this series we also included 5 mindset videos where we talk about how to start and the importance of mastering mindfulness, setting intentions and how these and other mindset work can enhance not only your competitive edge but also the quality of your life. One of the ways Laurie looks after her mind and spirit is by practicing daily gratitude she does this both mentally and physically and this is why we created the Mastery & Gratitude series. She is excited to share what has helped her become a world class athlete living with arthritis though her Mastery & Gratitude series.
