Posture & Other Exercise

In this episode, Posture Ellie talks through the relationship that a committed posture practice plays in helping you enjoy (for a long time without injury!) your favourite sports, hobbies and exercise. Firstly, she discusses how our understanding of 'exercise' is perhaps not what is best for the hunter-gatherer evolved human body. On top of that, we take our imbalanced, stiff 'chair bodies' to sports, without doing the requisite work beforehand to bring balance and mobility back to the joints ... this leads to injury. Many of our sports are also imbalanced and repetitive, and this can play havoc on our posture. Luckily, there's a remedy ... posture exercises! By making your posture practice your bedrock of your movement profile, you will have a resilient, strong body that can do whatever you want to do with it, without pain, without tension, without injury AND with better results!
