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.

Remember To Have Fun!

Nine (Baby) Steps On How To Give Your Child The Absolute Best Start In Life - Baby Step #9
So here we are on the last of our “Nine (Baby) Steps On How To Give Your Child The Absolute Best Start In Life”.

If after reading the previous posts you are somewhat concerned because you used a walker or a playpen or any of the other things we’ve talked about… Don’t be!

You can only work with the information you have at the time and you were undoubtedly doing the best you could with the tools you had. Life is constantly changing and with it, our knowledge of what’s best and what’s not.

If your kids are still young enough, get them out playing as much as you can and make the play as unrestricted as possible… Jumping over and crawling under objects, twisting and turning, jumping up and bending down, hopping, skipping, jumping…

You get the general idea!

Football and other sports are certainly great, though they don’t offer completely unrestricted motion that takes their bodies through a full range. The more unrestricted and free play it is, the better.

And make sure you get out there and join in too! You don’t need us to tell you about the joys of having kids… So relive a little of your youth and get down on the floor or the lawn or anywhere else and join in!

Kids are fun and so is rediscovering your inner child!

The most important aspect in all of this is that you have fun with your little people.

If you would like to get a deeper understanding of the points covered in this series of posts, we can’t recommend enough the reading of Pete Egoscue’s fourth book, Pain Free For Women.

The title can easily give the impression that it’s for women only… Don’t be fooled! It’s a great book that everyone should read.

Chapter 5 is the most pertinent to the points that we’ve been covering in this series of posts.

Talk to you soon!
