The Method for Posture
The way you walk stand and sit has
a major effect on your physical and emotional health.
Even the laziest person who doesn’t want to
do any exercise can improve their health by learning
how to walk correctly. Posture is the position in
which you hold your body upright against gravity while
standing, sitting or lying down. Good posture involves
training your body to have the least strain placed
on supporting muscles and ligaments during movement
or weight-bearing activities.
Many factors lead to poor posture
including; car seats, chairs and couches; injuries
and compensation to avoid pain; working with computers;
poor nutrition; and even loss of bone density due
to the natural effects of aging. Another common problem
is our thighs leaning forward of the pelvis rather
than living under it, which causes a tucking of the
pelvis and a compression of the lumbar discs. This
can lead to chronic lower and upper back pain and
soreness, muscle weakness, problems with lower extremity
circulation and much more. Posture is a window to
the spine and poor posture can indicate there is a
problem with the spine and nervous system.
The FitzGordon Method uses core exercises
and proper walking pattern to realign your posture
in a dynamic and balanced way. Standing is possibly
our hardest task. Learning to walk is the easiest
way to improve your posture •
