Why Moving Like a Kid Might Save Your Body ft. Tim Anderson

In this conversation with Tim Anderson, we explore the deep connection between head movement and full-body control, something that starts developing the moment we’re born.

Tim breaks down how the vestibular system influences balance, coordination, and even our sense of stability in the world.

We also get into the importance of early movement patterns like tummy time, and how they help strengthen a baby’s core and nervous system.

It’s a powerful reminder that movement isn’t just mechanical, it’s foundational, neurological, and deeply human. We shouldn't just aim for strength and stability, but reflexive strength and reflexive stability.

Tim has had a dramatic impact on my life and the way I approach movement with my clients. I was extremely grateful for the chance to sit down with him and go in depth on the topic.
