People develop habits of motion,  and posture can feel “right” but not be balanced.

Like a fold in a piece of paper,  posture patterns are created when we move in uneven patterns.

Uneven motion works some muscles more than others.  Then, some joints tighten as others stretch, and the body is trained to move with “weak” motion.

When there is a weak link in how your body moves, that’s where injury and breakdown occur.

Old injury and habits cause muscles and joints to compensate and move in an asymmetrical, or uneven pattern of motion.  Even after an injury is healed, people usually continue moving unevenly. Over time, when the brain believes the body is balanced and it is not, uneven joint stress causes premature wear and breakdown.

Motion can feel “right” when it’s actually uneven and unbalanced because we use “trick” motions.  Trick motions are when we move in a way to compensate for weak muscles or stiff/painful joints.  To learn normal motion we must first feel normal motion. Retraining these unconscious “trick” motions requires a conscious effort.
