Posture re-training

Over time, the effects of ageing and gravity take their toll on our bodies. Appropriate targeted training of our bodies inner core and postural muscles can help us regain and retain our postural alignment. Without good posture our bodies become susceptible to a variety of musculo-skeletal disorders including; headaches, back pain, shoulder impingment and an overall decrease in function... not allowing us to do what we once could.

Posture re-training is not about just going to the gym. Its overall aim is to improve postural alignment and everyday strength. The exercises may involve; light weights, balance re-training, core exercises, pilates-like strength exercises, functional whole body movements, body weight exercises and so on. In fact, many of the exercises taught in this session are designed to be replicated at home so you can continue your program without the need of going to a costly gym.

If you spend hours hunching over a computer or staring down at a smartphone, you've likely been plagued with the pain known as "tech neck." ... It can feel like a strain at the neck, stiffness in the shoulders, might result in headaches, and can do worse damage to the spine over time.
