You don’t see inspired people slouching do you? Very rarely do inspired people hunch over. How we hold ourselves says much about who we are! Moods and muscles are so closely linked. Stand (or sit) tall and observe the instant mood lift you get. Slouching is for grouches! Here’s why.

 

Hunching shortens the pectoral muscles which then pulls the shoulders forward. This position long term, causes chest restriction where the stress cycle continues to perpetuate through the body-mind and energy.

 
Pelvic tilt is associated with lower back pain and is often a result of sitting too long without any corrective care.
Tight hip flexors (iliopsos muscles) can lead to a weakening of the core – or even be a result of it. Once again this perpetuates the cycle of pain and restriction through the body, diminishing vitality and wellbeing.
Being aware of your posture and maintaining spinal alignment can help prevent problems and pain symptoms long term. Many migraine sufferers look at computers or read for long durations. Taking pain medication can be costly long term so being aware and proactive in prevention is best.

Muscles hold the spinal column in line. Postural (skeletal) alignment depends of happy balanced muscles. Being tight, tense and in pain puts strain on spinal discs and alignment. This can lead to nerve impingement and disc herniation.

Keeping length and strength through the muscles of the body takes stress of the joints therefore preventing certain types of arthritis in the long term.
Regular Myotherapy and good self care can help prevent this debilitating condition.
