Quality of Movement - Not Just Another Exercise [news]

So often I find myself saying to clients we are wonderfully made, however we should have come with a manual given the high incidence of low back pain, neck pain, and other chronic issues. It’s the way we use our body rather than the task at hand. We can hurt ourselves simply leaning over the sink to clean our teeth!

Take a middle aged office worker, not to mention our teenagers, sitting all day with a posterior pelvic tilt, faulty breathing pattern, loaded thoracic spine, lengthened deep neck flexors, tight pectorals and levator scapular, tight hip flexors, weak gluteals and poor body awareness, deciding he needs to exercise. It is only a matter of time before he’s off to his health professional with a strain or pain.
