Standing tall: Posture & Alignment
Manage episode 503588341 series 3550706
Your posture shapes everything about how you move through the world—and it's affecting you more than you realize.
When was the last time you noticed your neck hurting after scrolling through your phone, or your lower back aching after a day at your desk? These aren't random pains—they're direct messages from your body about alignment issues that impact your daily life. In this eye-opening exploration of posture and alignment, I break down what's really happening when your body falls out of its optimal position and why it matters for everything from pain management to athletic performance.
Drawing from personal experience and years working with corporate wellness programs, I share how morning movement dramatically changes how my body responds to screen time throughout the day. The connection is clear: our modern, sedentary lifestyle creates posture challenges unique to our generation. But contrary to popular belief, good posture isn't about rigid perfection—it's about awareness, balance, and creating sustainable habits.
You'll discover practical, actionable strategies to improve your alignment without turning into a robot. From optimizing your workspace to strengthening key muscle groups to performing simple posture resets throughout your day, these techniques can transform how you feel in your body. The science is compelling: proper alignment doesn't just reduce pain—it enhances your mood, boosts confidence, and improves physical performance.
