Pregnancy Posture Reset

What do you do when a client is stuck with their shoulders rounded and head forward but they are not able to move to a more neutral position? 

In today's episode, Lynn talks with Dr. Anna Hammond, PT, DPT, a lead therapist at Core Exercise Solutions, about ways to examine the shoulders and ribs to improve posture and make lasting changes.

NOTE: Anna visually shows the movements in the video and the audio is not always clear as to what she is doing. Please refer to the YouTube links referenced for the visuals.  https://youtu.be/Zq-Z_FV1-mE

As pregnancy progresses the growth of the baby causes the body to change. These changes need to occur but can expose imbalances in the pregnant person’s body that can affect their ability to move with balance and ease. They can also impact the load on the pelvic floor and create potential issues with prolapse. Addressing posture during pregnancy can set a pregnant person up for a more successful experience postpartum.
