Just as the human form evolved as a result of its environment, we are each individually shaped and confined by our modern world. In industrialized cultures we not only move less, we move less effectively. The combined effects result in poor posture and poor health. |

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. ALBERT EINSTEIN |

Are you living in a 3 foot cage? Imagine a box between your shoulders and your hips. Cars, keyboards, and countless “labor saving” devices all limit our range of motion to within that 3 foot box! Posture therapy is like a motion vitamin, restoring a balanced range of motion through personalized exercises and stretches. |

The Importance of Cultural Cues How we move is just as important as that we move. We see very few examples of healthy posture and movement patterns in modern culture. Look at any fashion magazine or mannequin and you will see that poor posture is actually being promoted as attractive. Humans learn visually, and by mimicking what we see around us. Without much reference for healthy posture, we unconsciously lose our birthright—pain free, graceful motion. Posture therapy helps re-establish your structural integrity and restore natural, healthy movement patterns. |

Take the 24 hour test > Track your daily movement: · How many times do you reach over your head? · Get down on the floor? · Reach behind your body? · How many hours do you spend sitting? · How many hours do you spend on the computer? · Sitting in a car or on public transportation? · How many times do you move outside of the 3 foot box? Surprised? Ready to break out of the cage? |
