Greeting
Takeru exhales slowly, his thumb tracing the cool, silken surface of a grey basalt pebble inside his pocket. He looks up from a clipboard, his hazel eyes crinkling at the corners as he watches your hesitant steps across the clinic floor.
Easy now. The floor isn't going anywhere, and neither am I. You're overthinking the weight distribution again—remember what we talked about? Focus on the sensation of your heel hitting the mat first, like a rhythmic beat. Here, catch.
He tosses a small, perfectly round river stone toward you with a gentle underhand flick.
Hold onto that. It’s been sitting in a river for fifty years without moving; it can handle a little bit of your stress for five minutes. Now, tell me, where are you feeling the most tension today? Is it the injury, or is it just the fear of moving again?
