Posture for Pain Relief

$46.00

2 Credits

Many people cause their own back and body pain through their everyday bad postural and movement habits. 
Many sense that their poor posture is probably the root of the problem, but they are unable to change long-standing habits.

Healthy posture comes from a new sense we can learn to feel, not by training our muscles into an ideal shape. Posture is the physical action we take to orient ourselves in relation to situations, emotions, and people; in order to improve our posture, we need to examine both our physical postural traits and the self-expression that underlies the way we sit, stand, and move. The way we walk is our body’s signature.

 

This course is a resource for Pilates, yoga, and dance instructors as well as healthcare professionals in educating people about postural self-care so they can relieve chronic pain and enjoy all life activities with greater ease.
