What Is Posture And How Does It Affect You?

What"s Posture Got To Do With Anything?

The word ‘posture’ is gathering a following and is becoming more widely used nowadays. People are more aware that they should ‘sit up straight’ and ‘pull those shoulders back’…

…But has anyone ever told you how to do it? (With over 600 muscles in your body, it simply isn’t possible to control them consciously and it would be futile to attempt to do so, would it not?)

Now, while posture isn't the be-all and end-all, it is very much foundational to good health.

Like the house that was built on the sand, a body with a compromised posture is paying the price beneath the surface.

As Plato said:

“Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it."

Learn about the wisdom of the body that built it's house on the rock on Upward Spiral's blog: 'Posture: Pain and it's Prevention' .

Monday

Welcome!

Hello!

I'm very pleased to say that the new blog is here!

It will cover many things to do with posture and health, including all your favourites such as:
  • Back Pain
  • Knee Pain
  • Hip Pain
  • Scoliosis etc
There will also be all the latest in the world of The Egoscue Method and Muscle Balance & Function (MBF).

And because our bodies work as a unit, there will probably be other bits and pieces that aren't directly related to posture and health, but are very important nonetheless!

You are invited to share all the news and views and to leave comments on any of the posts. If you have a question or if there's something you'd like to see covered, please send me an email!

Talk to you soon.

Matt
