The critical Research
Mindfulness literature has grown exponentially over the last 55 years beginning with a single article cited in 1966 to over 16,000 today. Journal articles address the physiological affects of mindfulness interventions on a myriad of pathologies: low back pain, migraines, fibromyalgia, inflammaging, depression, anxiety, stress, weight-control, Chrone’s disease and cancer-related symptoms. Mindfulness interventions have been instrumental in reducing pain, pain-overidentification, kinesiophobia and catastrophization and depression. Mindfulness programs increase physical function, sleep quality, immune function, life satisfaction, well-being and vitality.

We’ve culled through significant articles gleaning the key concepts and drivers for what works in the clinic. You’ll learn how to add a biomechanical reagent that pivots the common place attentional tool of breath awareness often used in mindfulness training to rewiring movement patterns that restore ease with functional movement.
