Poor posture isn't a sign of aging but a sign of dysfunction, unresolved trauma, or injury. You can improve your posture at any age and reduce these compensatory patterns. It's never too late to start! 🌱

A forward head carriage is one of the most common postural deviations seen in society. Forward head posture leads to chronic pain, numbness in the arms and hands, improper breathing, pinched nerves, and spinal remodelling.

Not only does asthma and heart disease often begin in your neck, but so does your brain health.

According to Renee Calliet, M.D., if the head weighs 10 lbs and the center of the ear sits directly over the center of the shoulder, the load on the spine and its tissue is only 10 lbs. But, for every inch the head is translated forward, its weight will increase by 10 lbs. In effect, if the center of the ear is three inches forward from the center of the shoulders, the weight of the head on the spine and its discs, joints, and nerves is 30 lbs.!

Ever wondered how you stay upright and avoid falling flat? The answer is more than just balance—it's about understanding the form and function of your feet. If we overlook this crucial foundation, we set ourselves up for failure, fatigue, and inefficient movement. Over time, these adaptations can lead to exhaustion and loss of ability, often mistaken for laziness or aging.

Ever thought about how Newton’s third law affects your body? For every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction. This means if your feet can’t properly support your body’s weight, the whole structure can break down. Our course breaks down these principles and shows you how to apply them to prevent wear and tear, inefficiencies, and fatigue. Learn to balance these forces for better movement and less pain.

Our Foot Form and Function Course dives deep into these concepts, showing you how to apply them to prevent these issues and improve movement efficiency. Learn how to balance forces and support your body’s weight effectively to reduce pain and enhance overall function.

Foot pain got you down?😥 It might be more than just a passing ache! The way we treat our feet can have a ripple effect throughout our entire body.

Here's the truth: Hammertoes, bunions, bone spurs, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis - these issues can often be traced back to poor foot positioning and improper footwear.

➡️ Think about it: High heels, flip flops, and overly cushioned shoes all immobilize your feet, preventing them from moving and functioning naturally. This can lead to a domino effect of problems, including:

- Degenerated discs
- Weak pelvic floor
- Bone density problems
- Knee and ankle injuries
- Tight hamstrings
- Sciatica

Even a slight heel in a sneaker can throw off your center of gravity and worsen these issues!
The good news? Proper foot care is within reach! By choosing minimalist footwear, you'll support healthy feet and prevent a cascade of pain!

Remember the saying "everything is connected"? Well, that's exactly what good alignment is all about!

➡️ When your body is aligned, everything works together like a well-oiled machine. Your posture, movement patterns, and even your internal systems, all play a role in your overall well-being.

Here's the thing: misalignment creates friction, tension, and breakdowns. This can manifest as pain, stiffness, decreased performance, and even difficulty performing everyday activities.

Ask yourself:

- Are you making the adjustments you need to reach your full potential?
- Is poor alignment holding you back from doing what you love or who you aspire to become?

The Align'd Approach can help! We don't just focus on pain, posture and movement correction; we take a holistic approach that considers the interconnectedness of your body and mind.✨

Sometimes we have to acknowledge the 'Pink Elephant in the Room' – those moments when we're not doing what we know we should be. 😥

Foot pain affects 20-37% of adults aged 45 and older, and about 15% of middle-aged and older adults report ankle pain on a monthly basis. Additionally, 10% of older adults show signs of ankle osteoarthritis (OA), and acute ankle injuries are a leading cause of emergency room visits. 🦶️⚠️

The consequences of foot and ankle pain are significant, leading to physical disability and difficulty with daily activities. Individuals experiencing this pain have an increased risk of falls, reduced physical function, muscle performance, balance, and walking speed. This often results in higher rates of disability and poorer health outcomes as they age. Poor foot structure can cause arthritis and pain in your knees and hips, showing how connected the foot is to the rest of your body.
To treat this pain effectively, it's important to address the entire body, not just the foot or ankle.

Discover how to relieve foot and ankle pain with our Foundations Course: The Foot Form and Function.
