The slogan “Movement is Medicine” emphasizes the healing and
health-promoting properties of physical activity. It suggests that movement,
whether through exercise, traditional activities, or daily mobility, plays a crucial
role in maintaining and restoring well-being.

This idea aligns with both kinesiology, the scientific study of human movement,
and First Nations philosophies of Minopimatisiwin/Mithopimatisiwin (Cree: “the
good life”) and Minobiimaadiziwin (Anishinaabe: “living the good life”).

Let’s use MOVEMENT is MEDICINE as a plan to heal and help our people heal
too!
