Pain and injury trains the body to move differently.
Consulting a professional to help restore motion and alignment after an injury makes sense and provides relief, but unless your motion patterns are retrained the adaptive motion can often begin a Pain Cycle. Even when pain improves and is forgotten after an injury heals, if the body isn’t moving normally problems often recur as we continue moving adaptively.
In cycles both vicious and virtuous, your posture shapes how you move, and your body’s patterns of motion shape your posture.
We live in a sitting society, spending hours and hours just sitting essentially still-watching, driving, computing, and then sitting down to relax—all slumping the back and pressing the head forward into a weak posture.
From birth to death, life is a series of cycles, and your posture is an omnipresent but usually unrecognized factor in health and fitness cycles. But…it is one that we can affect.
