What is your posture determined by?
Back strength, buttock strength, core stability, tummy muscles strength... yes, all of these to some extent.
How about your diaphragm?
Oh, how is that...?
I worked with a lovely client this week who came to me with some back discomfort and neck pain. There is a history of discomfort which culminated in back surgery a few years ago. My client is feeling a lot better and is now working to strengthen her core. I assessed this wonderful lady to see how else we can help her over and above the exercises we are already doing.
Using Neuro-Kinetic Therapy (R) protocols, I found her diaphragm to be overworking for her tummy muscles, in effect inhibiting them. We released the tight spots around the diaphragm and activated abdominal muscles. It took about 5 minutes.
The client kindly allowed me to share the Before and After pictures which you can see below. I think you will agree that these are wonderful results and this resulted in an immediate straightening up of the overall alignment. My client continues to be a lot more comfortable with much less neck discomfort.
If you would like to find out more about Neuro-Kinetic Therapy (R) and my work in general, please reach out to find out more.
