Corporate & Academic Wellness Seminar
-
Gain insights into the postural mechanism creating or inhibiting natural, comfortable alignment when sitting at your desk or standing at your work station.
-
Counteract and reverse the effects gravity has on the body when sitting or standing for long periods of time, leaving you with the ability to feel and function better throughout the work or school day.
-
Learn pattern busters to sitting – that you can do every 30-60 minutes at work and at home to keep you more functional, focused, and aligned.
*Movement and lecture based
4-8 Part Class Program
Similar to the Group Class Series, this program will create and ingrain postural pattens in your body specific to sitting and standing for long periods of time. The sequences are designed to address the entire structural mechanism that will allow your body to naturally get into an optimal sitting position and maintain it throughout the day with the deep postural line support. Each sequence builds upon the previous one.
Individualized Postural Therapy Sessions for Your Employees or Students
We all have our unique posture, pains, injury history, patterns, and goals. Assessing and addressing then on an individualized level will create most immediately impactful and long-term changes for health and function.
Understand Through FEEL
Try This:
Sit with a slouched posture. Now, raise both arms to the front of you as high as you can. Notice the range of motion and feeling in your shoulders, neck, and back.
*Only raise your respective arms if you have no shoulder or neck issues.
Next, rotate your torso to the right and do the same. Are you experiencing any additional discomfort?
Lastly, roll up nice and tall onto your SITS bones (bones under your glutes) to the degree you can do so comfortably and raise both arms. What happens to the range or motion in your arms and the feeling in your shoulders, neck, and back? It typically feels much better this way compared to the previous two examples.
Let’s say your body is locked into a slouched and/or rotated position and you consciously try to sit or stand up straight – TRY IT! – How long can you maintain this position comfortably? Not long, right?! AND you’re using the superficial muscles to hold yourself up, likely creating long-term compensation.
What about a specialized chair? It can be helpful, though simply relying on it shuts down the need for you deep postural muscles to support the body when sitting. When the body doesn’t utilize its postural support, we’re more prone to injury when making a more dynamic movements.
What we want to address is the full-body postural mechanism creating natural alignment when sitting at your desk or standing at your work station. We do this by using specific and unique postural exercises to align the bones and engage the deep postural muscles, enabling your body to maintain these positions automatically and comfortably.
