Postural Alignment

Postural alignment is the basis of our movement patterns. If the basis of our movement begins from a less-than-optimal position, then movement itself will likely be less than optimal. Optimal standing posture, the "blueprint," has many benefits for our bodies. First of all, it enables us to neutralize the downward pull that gravity constantly exerts on our bodies. If all of the building blocks that make up our bodies were stacked on top of each other the way we were designed, gravity couldn't create pulls and torques on our tissue. ~ Anthony B.

Postural misalignment causes pain and stems from our lifestyles, workplace/habits, and compounded by injuries and accidents leading to compensatory movement.
