Free to Move With the Intu-Flow Longevity System by Scott Sonnon (2008)

Mobility is body's own anti-aging agent. When you bathe each joint in nutritive and lubricative flow, you revitalize "endogenous energy" (an energy independent of outside sources). Mobility removes aches and pains which are the body's last effort attempt to communicate to your brain that injury is imminent. Mobility halts and reverses accelerated aging which happens not only from physical activities, trauma, and injuries, but also from just daily living in a gravitational field. As such, mobility is the elixir of life, a truly innate fountain of wellness. Movement is life! In 1996, Scott Sonnon pioneered the discipline of joint mobility in the West as a means of recovering from congenital disease, chronic pain and a host of injuries he incurred as an international martial arts champion and USA National Team Coach. His latest book, Free to Move: The Intu-Flow Longevity System, is already being called "The Bible of Joint Mobility." Even athletes and fitness enthusiasts suffer from injuries and joint pains! But these pains are entirely avoidable if you perform a simple routine of joint mobility exercises for several minutes each day. Free to Move teaches you the basics of this system, as well as the crucial progression you can follow to regain your full, natural range of motion.By following the plan contained in this book, you will release the abundant energy that is already within you and unlock your body's limitless healing potential.You can have the best nutrition in the world, but if you don't move each joint through its full range of motion daily those nutrients won't reach the tissues that are starved for it. Free to Move teaches you how to decompress each of the joints in order to bathe them in nutritive and lubricative synovial fluid, shipping that crucial nutrition in and waste products out.If you perform this simple program for as little as 8 minutes per day, you drink from a "Fountain of Wellness" which extends longevity by slowing - and in some cases reversing - the typical accelerated aging process.

Scott B Sonnon was born on October 11, 1969, in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Upon starting school, teachers said that Scott was unlikely to succeed at anything. From an early age, he became "legally" blind due to myopia and eventually Thygeson's disease. He spent his youth crippled in pain with what doctors could only describe as Osteochondrosis disease, shredding the connective tissue throughout his joints and weakening the development of his growth plates. When he first began "mirror-image" writing, he was labeled as "retarded" by undereducated teachers from his suffering an array of learning disabilities such as dysphonetic, dyseidetic and "double deficit" dyslexia. But as Scott will say, these "defects" were a blessing which allowed him to see, feel and think about the world in a wonderfully unique way. Despite incredible obstacles, his trek across the world learning alternative methods of health improvement led him to become a USA National Sambo Team Coach and Champion earning him the former USSR's highest athletic distinction: "Honourable Master of Sport." His personal success led him to become subject matter expert for members of the Ultimate Fighting Championship®, the National Hockey League®, National Football League® and Major League Baseball®. Despite mental obstacles, he currently serves on Graduate Faculty at Virginia Commonwealth University and has earned his membership into Mensa® - the International High IQ Society. His love for helping others improve their quality of movement, health and life was born out of his need to learn each remedial step, of never being able to take for granted what came naturally to everyone else. But due to poor nutrition, conditioning and aging, now children and seniors alike suffer pain similar to what Scott encountered and overcame. Once an adjunct Professor of Physical Education for Penn State University, his programs were originally designed to prevent accelerating aging of joint and connective tissues, and to give people of even Scott's genetic challenges, access to the physical and psychological mastery which can only be described as "flow." Now known around the world as The Flow Coach™, he has become an inspiration to thousands of people by his incredible story of triumph and his passionate dedication to helping others. As a world-acclaimed public speaker and author, has taken his world-class fighting skills off the mat to the fight against the core issues behind childhood obesity and the accelerated aging leading to arthritis. Scott serves as fitness advisor to organizations such as the International Youth Conditioning Association, the National Active Aging Council, the Radiant Recovery® Ranch, the Arnold Schwarzenegger Sports Festival, the National Strength Conditioning Association, the National Law Enforcement and Security Institute, and has spoken at esteemed institutions such as Wake Forest, Dickinson, and Western Washington Universities. Scott will tell you that his greatest achievement had nothing to do with himself, though. He explains that we cannot do alone, what can be achieved together. He assembled a "think-tank round-table" of experts from various fields around the world. Founding the RMAX faculty and Coaching Staff, Scott surrounded himself with a powerhouse team of doctors, therapists, explorers, writers, and leaders from industries outside of fitness. As a child, he dreamed that it would be possible, but at his speaking engagements you will regularly hear him gush with pride at the cadre that has formed to bring his work to the people around the world who need it most. Scott's array of patented equipment - such as the Clubbell® - have become legendary in their unique effectiveness. His Circular Strength Training® System and the global wellness society known as RMAX International can now be found in 68 countries worldwide and counting, earning Scott a place in the National Fitness Hall of Fame Museum and the Personal Trainer Hall of Fame.
