Why Women Need a Different Kind of Support
When it comes to training bodies, I think it’s imperative that women get specialized support—but not for the reasons you might expect.
When I first started diving into movement and function, I was coming from the perspective that women’s bodies just need a different kind of support. However, from a purely biological standpoint, men’s and women’s bodies aren’t that different. So why am I saying women need something different?
