GOOD VS. BAD POSTURE

When we talk about “bad posture”, people usually mean slouching and sitting with our shoulders and head hunched forward. And that is definitely bad posture lol, but so isn’t the opposite end of the spectrum…

Growing up I danced and did acrobatics, so I always got compliments on my “beautiful” posture [and I ate em up lol]!

Issue is, I was standing and sitting too upright, which created tension in my lower back. As I got older and started to workout I struggled with horrible horrible lower back pain. [Plus I was always bruising my tailbone because I always had it sticking out hahaha]

My core and back were strong AF! But they weren’t functioning properly and I was paying the price… I learned the hard way that mechanics matter more than strength...

Fast Forward: I learned how to properly engage my core and stabilize my spine... and my back pain DISAPPEARED!!!

That sh!+ AMPED. ME. UP!!! It made me realize that not all aches and pains have to be accepted because “that’s just how my body is”. It’s possible that changing our movement mechanics and our posture is the “cure”! [Not always, but sometimes.]

And I LIVE for the moments when clients experience that aha moment too! It’s a life changer. And so empowering. Here’s a video of the mistakes I was making and see clients make too.
