What I wish more people knew about: The effect of sitting on your Nervous System
We were designed to MOVE yet the majority of us sit for a living.
So what actually happens when we sit
for most of our day?
The more you sit, the more your nervous system thinks you are INJURED
And the more something is repeated in
your mind and body, the more deeply it becomes written into your subconscious.
The more your Nervous System thinks you're
injured, the more it shuts off your prime movers (hip flexors & extensors)
And the more they're "shut off", the more that pattern becomes embedded in your subconscious, creating a conundrum.
The more your hips are "shut off", the more the fascia around your shoulders gets pulled
downward toward the opposite hip.
Think of a slouched posture, with the shoulders rounding inward and forward (like the fetal position)
Meaning your poor computer posture isn't
caused by working at a desk, but by how much you actually sit.
Your body slowly curls into a fetal position, as if it believes there's an invisible tiger nearby because why else would you stay frozen for so long when you were made to move?
So STOP trying to fix your computer
posture by doing so many stretches and START calming your Nervous System
