“Unfavourable postural deviations occur in time and without your knowledge. Ironically, time and knowledge are required to unwind the postural clock.”
Do you need help finding your best posture?
Is poor posture contributing to your pain?
Do you want to help your family improve their posture?
Asked to demonstrate optimal postural alignment, generally spines lengthen and shoulders draw back. Many of us are aware that posture is vital for good health.
What is not well understood is how to physically realign ourselves towards our optimal posture. Considerably less is understood about the muscular system required to support this alignment.
Poor posture is often associated with slouching. It is referred to as, ‘bad posture’ and being upright as ‘good posture’. However the answer is not simply an option between two choices.
For most of us there are a vast range of postural orientations that we move though in one single day. We address your postural concerns as you present in the studio and in addition consider your long-term postural challenges.
Long-term postural change has occurred due to many reasons - stresses, injury, bad habits, scar tissue, pain, lack of awareness, pregnancy, repetitive movements, illness, disease, psychological and emotional issues.
The accumulation of your historical events has left a physical imprint, and without you realising each event has likely modified your posture.
Movement exercises specifically chosen for you promote postural change. They work at guiding your body’s alignment back towards optimal posture, back towards optimal musculoskeletal health.
Many of us associate posture as a stationary position. Posture is not fixed but rather needs to travel with you. Postural awareness needs to be at the central focus of all your functional activities.
Posture needs to consider how you sit, stand and move today, and this improves as we unlock what you did yesterday.
For a postural assessment, make an appointment with Functional Pilates.
“My posture of round shoulders and stooping with the forward position of my head was extremely noticeable in photos not just the mirror. I met Filippa ‘The One’. and, my concerns were addressed and discussed and over time all has been reversed and yes as the Summer 2019 newsletter states: ‘Where I Stand, I Stand Tall’. Filippa’s thinking is to determine the “Functional” cause of problems. I have recommended Filippa to many of our clients, friends and family.”
