Balance, Function & Power

Join Ellie for a reminder of what posture therapy is all about ... balance, function and power (in that specific order). Too many go from sedentary and desk-bound straight to 'power' (running, gym etc), without doing the foundational work to fix the broken movement patterns first. With broken movement patterns, 'power' is going to hurt, always. Your options are then to either a) pretend it doesn't hurt (and eventually be forced to stop) or b) give up (and be faced with the decay that occurs from not keeping your body moving enough). OR ... you accept option 3 - posture therapy. Posture Therapy gets you focusing in on your balance first, then your function and THEN the power will come. You can't boycott balance and function and expect good results!

Posture is pattern recognition

Join Ellie for an episode where we look at how posture therapy is really the process of pattern recognition. Finding patterns with your pain and posture exercises helps to take the emotion away from the pain and encourage logic and objectivity to take over. Ellie firmly believes there's no 'random' pain ... it's just the causes you might not have clocked yet!

Foot Pain? Stop doing calf raises!

Join Ellie for a chat about her recent business/personal update regarding sadly having to let her studio space go, her realisation about the studio space and how this ties into her chronic overperformance (and recommendation of Pippa Grange's new book 'Life Reclaimed') and, importantly and finally, about what postural deviations you should consider if you suffer foot pain and why calf stretches/calf raises are likely NOT the answer! Stop symptom chasing!
