Each and every one of my SCI clients are rockstars, but every once in a while one of them reminds me why Theo chose “own your journey” as one of our taglines.

The phrase refers to the very reality that no one is responsible for your recovery - except you. Which can be overwhelming and scary at first, but in a situation where there is so much loss of control, I invite you to find ways that you DO have control.

This looks different for everyone, so I’ll be using this blog series to highlight different ways my SCI clients are truly taking ownership for themselves.

ZN SCI Athlete Feature

Zoe B.

Celebrating her for:

Committing to standing for at least 2 minutes everyday, for an entire year.

+ 2025 ZN Holiday Bingo Winner: blackout card

Zoe wanted something different. And so she had to do something different.

In Spring 2025, Zoe was doing all the the assigned floor work, targeted mobility, and a few strength exercises but it didn’t seem enough to ease her body discomfort.

Fed up with the pain, she committed to standing (supported with her ladder) for at least 2 minutes everyday.

For accountability, she started sharing her daily stands on TikTok and Instagram - a simple timelapse, sometimes with text or audio sharing her thoughts.

By mid-July, she hit 100 consecutive days - rain, shine, sickness, hungover… why stop there?

Today, she’s up to 285 consecutive days and still going strong.

While she’s still working through tone patterns, she reports feeling more comfortable in her body since the beginning of her 2-min daily standing series. During her bi-monthly coaching calls, I’ve noticed that she pushes herself a bit harder. At minimum, she’s building essential body awareness and body confidence that will only snow ball from here.

Her videos now focus less on the actual standing and include motivational pep talks for anyone needing that little 2-min movement nudge.

She shares the good days and the not-so-great days… unfiltered in her quest for consistency. And emphasizing that, on some days, just showing up for the minimum is enough. But you still need to show up in some way.

I throughly enjoy watching her journey in this Instagram series - they are like daily episodes of Zoe-isms and motivation for even me to get moving for “just 2 minutes a day.”

Congratulations, Zoe on your consistency!

And thank you for sharing your wisdom with the SCI community.

Feeling stuck on what to do for 2 minutes everyday?

Try one of our online self-paced programs

(err, these programs are more than 2 minutes but you can piece out a daily to-do!)

Using the “spiral fascial line,” you can leverage the strength and connection you have in your shoulders to create tension in the core and postural muscles for more efficient and improved movement: rolling over, seated stability, transfer control and so much more!

This 90-minute self-paced background lecture + movement routine gives you the foundations of the ZN approach using fascial lines.
