What's Your Posture Got To Do With Your Pain?

"Good" posture requires muscles to function according to their design, from head to toe.

"Bad" posture is a deterioriation in the left-to-right and front-to-back harmonius relationship of the muscles and joints.

Pain is a symptom of postural misalignment and muscular dysfunction.

Muscle function and posture can both be restored, regardless of age, by providing the muscles with the necessary stimulus.

Is Visualisation Enough to Improve Your Posture?

Posture Myth #5 "Visualising a better posture will help you to maintain one"

Visualisation (or imagination) is a useful skill to have. After all, without the imagination of inventors and innovators we would certainly not have the luxuries of modern living.

When it comes to our health, the ability to see or visualise things better than they currently are (sometimes called hope) is an important step. We need to have goals beyond the absence of our symptoms.

The next step is to have a plan. This plan must be achievable and must be measurable. How will you know when you are making progress?

Will you see it the difference? Or will you feel it?

TAKE ACTION!

That's right, a plan needs action to be meaningful. You have over 600 muscles in your body which require and are designed to respond to physical stimulus. Give them the right movement and they will pay you handsomely.
