Most people don't realize their immune system is heavily influenced by their posture. Your lymphatic system runs through your entire myofascial network. So if your muscles are shut off, overly tight, or your fascia is restricted, that lymph can't move. When lymph flow slows down, waste builds up. And when your body can't clear waste, you get sick easier. Simple as that. This is why the FP First 4 matters so much. It engages your whole myofascial system, opens up those restrictions, and gets your lymph moving the way it's supposed to. Fix your posture β†’ improve lymph flow β†’ support your immune function. Your body isn't meant to be stagnant.
Most people think "rotator cuff exercises" equal shoulder health. But without transverse rotational tension, you're actually setting your shoulder up to fail. When the rotator cuff is trained in isolation, the shoulder becomes hyperflexible and unstable. Strength without integration isn't strength - it's compensation waiting to break. Real shoulder power comes from an anchor, and that anchor is your trunk. If the core can't organize rotation and tension, the shoulder has nothing to stabilize against. This is why all the passive hangs, banded mobility drills, and generic shoulder routines eventually lead people toward the same outcome: pain...and often surgery. If you want durable shoulders, don't chase flexibility. Chase integration.
Stretching is terrible for the body how it is traditionally done.
