Long term changes take time

In this episode, Posture Ellie seeks to manage expectations about how quickly you'll make longer-term changes that truly stick. As covered in last week's episode, when an exercise/routine suits your posture, you will know about it right away, as your body will start feeling less tense immediately. However, these changes don't stick for very well because, as soon as you get up, you go back to your old movement patterns and normal habits, and so the tension will wind back up again. It is through repetition, consistency and patience that you will start to notice longer and longer periods of pain-free (or reduced pain) time, but don't expect miracles. This isn't a quick fix, this is true healing. It's also super important to STOP avoidable activities that aggravate your pain ... posture doesn't happen in a vacuum and if you're expecting to carry on running/gymming/whatever-ing whilst your body is screaming at you not to, even if you're doing 30 mins of posture a day, you won't make progress. You've got to take a step back sometimes in order to move forwards.
