Pelvic “misalignment” is rarely a bone problem.
In my clinical work at JANMI Postural Pain Clinic, Marylebone, it’s usually a load-transfer problem.

Modern life builds the same pattern:hips stuck in sitting, stress breathing, asymmetrical daily loading — and the pelvis starts using shortcuts.

Then pain spreads:lower back tightness, SI-region irritation, hip and groin tension, sciatica-like symptoms, knee drift, even foot overload.

The JANMI lens is simple:brakes overwork, sleepers go quiet.

So we do two things:

Release the brakes (targeted soft tissue, trigger points, myofascial work)

Wake the sleepers (short, precise corrective drills — often on the table, chair, or mat)

Not perfect posture. Better options.

If your shoulders round forward, your neck never switches off, or your arm feels tired doing very little — allow me to introduce a forgotten hero:

Serratus anterior.

It’s the muscle that keeps your shoulder blade politely attached to your rib cage.

Modern life doesn’t ask much of it.So it goes quiet.

Then upper traps panic, neck muscles overwork, shoulders complain, and the elbow gets dragged into the argument.

At JANMI Marylebone, we spend a lot of time researching how to wake serratus anterior properly — not by forcing it, but by giving it the right job again.

You don’t need bigger shoulders.You need a smarter shoulder blade.

One of the most underestimated muscles in modern postural pain is tibialis posterior.

It sits deep in the lower leg, quietly controlling the arch and translating load from the ground into the knee, hip, and pelvis.

Modern life rarely asks it to do its job. Shoes stabilise for it. Floors stay flat. Movement becomes predictable.

So it goes quiet.

When tibialis posterior sleeps, the arch collapses passively, the knee drifts inward, and the hip compensates.

At JANMI Postural Pain Clinic in Marylebone, we spend a lot of time researching how to restore timing, coordination, and load response — not just strength.

Warmly,
Paulius

One of the most misunderstood muscles in modern bodies is the transversus abdominis — the deep abdominal muscle designed to quietly hold us together.

Our ancestors used it all day:walking, carrying, breathing, changing direction.

Modern life teaches us to sit, brace, and switch it on only during “core exercises”.

So it goes quiet.

When the transversus abdominis sleeps:the lower back braces,hips overwork,breathing shortens,pain appears.

At JANMI Marylebone, we don’t chase “core strength”.We restore timing, coordination, and load sharing.

You don’t need a harder centre.You need a smarter one.

One of the most common sleepers we find at JANMI Marylebone lives under your feet.

The foot intrinsic muscles — small, quiet stabilisers that help your arch behave like a spring.

Modern life cushions, supports, and controls the foot so well that these muscles often stop working.When they do, the body compensates upward.

Calves grip.Knees drift.Hips overwork.Pain appears somewhere else.

This is another JANMI pattern:sleeping stabilisers + overworking guards.

At JANMI, we don’t force arches or chase symptoms.We wake the foot gently and reconnect it to the rest of the body.

Better contact.Better load sharing.

My Dear Reader,

There’s a muscle we work with constantly at JANMI Marylebone, and most people don’t realise it’s part of their posture.

The diaphragm.

Modern life teaches us to breathe shallow, brace constantly, and stay “on.”Over time, the diaphragm stops doing its quiet stabilising job — and other muscles rush in to help.

Neck tightens.Lower back braces.Jaw clenches.Breathing feels effortful instead of supportive.

This is another classic JANMI pattern:a sleeping stabiliser replaced by overworking guards.

At JANMI, we don’t treat breathing as a relaxation trick.We restore it as part of how the body shares load.

When the diaphragm wakes up, posture often improves without forcing it.

You don’t need more effort.You need better coordination.

Warmly,Paulius

If your neck never fully relaxes, your head feels heavy, or your jaw clenches without warning — there’s a good chance some very quiet muscles have gone missing from the job.

They’re called the deep neck flexors.They sit deep at the front of the neck and quietly hold your head where it belongs.

In modern life — screens, stress, sitting — these muscles often fall asleep.When they do, the neck, jaw and shoulders step in to help… and eventually complain.

At JANMI Marylebone, we see this pattern daily:sleeping stabilisers + overworking guards = postural pain.

That’s why we spend a lot of time understanding which muscles should wake up, not just which ones need stretching.

You don’t need more effort.You need better organisation.

London posture is a full-time job: laptop, Tube, stress, one-shoulder bags… then a heroic weekend workout.

After 15 years in clinic, the pattern is clear:
Brakes grip and overwork. Sleepers switch off.
Pain shows up when the body can’t share load properly.

At JANMI Marylebone, we don’t chase symptoms — we correct the pattern:
Assess → Release → Wake → Re-test, then a couple of drills you’ll actually do.

If your neck/back/hips/knees/feet keep complaining — book an assessment.

Why does sciatica happen in people who “do everything right”?

Sciatica isn’t random — it’s a modern postural story.

Three daily habits quietly create the perfect conditions for nerve irritation:

• sitting in tucked-pelvis posture

• tight psoas + weak glutes from modern living

• rotated pelvis from collapsed arches and gait imbalance

In the latest JANMI Journal article, I explain how these patterns form, why they disturb the sciatic nerve, and how integrated myofascial therapy helps the body unwind back to balance.

Why your shoulder, neck, and arm go numb — and what modern posture has to do with it.

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) is not rare anymore.

It’s becoming the new neck–shoulder pain of the digital age.

In my latest JANMI Journal article, I explore:
• the 3 modern habits that quietly create TOS
• why scalenes + pec minor + first rib form the “compression trio”
• how collapsed sitting and chest-dominant training worsen symptoms
• the emotional meaning behind these patterns
• how JANMI Integrated Therapy restores space and nerve flow

Your nerves don’t hate you. They’re just running out of room.

Why your rhomboids feel tight — even when they’re actually weak.

That burning knot between your shoulder blades isn’t a random spasm.

It’s a paradox:

Your rhomboids are often overstretched, inhibited, AND full of trigger points at the same time.

Why?

Because modern posture pulls the shoulders forward, tightens the front line, overstretches the back, and leaves the rhomboids desperately trying to hold everything together.

In the newest JANMI Journal article, I explain:

• why rhomboids become both weak and tight

• how fascia plays a huge role

• and why myofascial release gives such relief

Your rhomboids aren't the problem.

They’re the messengers.

Why your neck and shoulders are always tight — and why it’s not your fault.

In today’s world, the head drifts forward, the shoulders round, and the body collapses into a posture our ancestors never lived in.

This subtle shift reshapes the fascia from head to toe — changing breath, core stability, hip mechanics and even how your feet touch the ground.

In the latest JANMI Journal article, I explore:

• how fascia pulls the body forward

• why the neck becomes overloaded

• how this affects the entire kinetic chain

• and why modern posture is a mismatch with our evolutionary design

Your posture isn’t broken.

It’s adapting.

I am a founder and leading practitioner of JANMI massage & exercise system- a synergy of advanced soft tissue therapy and home exercises used to manage pain relief, injury prevention & recovery and functional rehabilitation after neurological injuries & strokes, and come from a family of doctors in Lithuania. I originally intended on joining the priesthood and completed a degree in theology. After my studies I decided instead to help others achieve optimal health through complementary therapies. I trained as a Thai massage therapist and reiki master before qualifying in sports and remedial massage, personal training, life coaching and rehabilitation for neurological injuries and strokes.
