Posture
It can make all the difference.
Posture Alignment is Critical to Optimal Health
Learn how common posture misalignments can affect balance and movement. Learn about the interrelatedness of the feet, knee, pelvis, lumbar spine, shoulder girdle, and cervical spine to improve body alignment.
Spinal rotation is reduced due to poor posture, this sets the stage for a decreased ability to balance and an increase risk of injury. An individual with poor posture attempting to learn any new skill or exercise will only reinforce poor posture if they are unable to achieve optimal alignment and stability during the exercise.The posture we hold provides clues to the condition of our bodies and current and past injuries. Understanding proper posture is the first step to correcting shoulder misalignment. Shoulders that slump forward, tight chest muscles, and a forward head are common habits. If these patterns are maintained during movement the shoulder is in perilous risk of injury. Learn how to improve posture, and stabilize the scapula (shoulder blades). Ninety eight percent of shoulder injuries are related to the instability in the scapula (shoulder blades). You can learn how to prevent shoulder injuries.
