I’m posting a pair of running shoes. Today I’m super thrilled. My clients came in today for a short bit to share about their first half experience on Sunday together. They looked perfectly energised and felt totally accomplished, smiling from ear to ear. They told me the session on the eve of the marathon really helped prepped them for the 5:15am flag-off.

We have been preparing their bodies for the run for months. From hip-knee-ankle alignment, push-off, spinal rotation, shoulder , technique and varying the weight loading intensity, their consistent effort really paid off.

Client was super delighted that she didn’t get any mid-back or pain after finishing the race. She used to have them when she first started training for the run. We’ve spent time working on corrections and homework practices.

This, is exactly what CARVE Pilates Studio is about. Understanding your goals and partnering with you towards achieving your goals.

Do you know where your centre of gravity is? Yea! It’s housed within your hips. Power of your hips can’t be anymore diminished since it’s where a massive load of originate from it.

Totally enjoyed sharing an interactive live session at a corporate wellness employee event.

The key takeaways for everyone for an improved posture:
1. is the new smoking
2. Motion is lotion
3. Add spinal rotation to your life

The body is intelligently created. When it encounters a signal, it can continue to perform a task by circumventing the use of the very thing that causes it the pain by introducing compensatory movement.

Let me give you a real-life example. Most of us would be familiar with . As small as it is in the foot, it can have significant impact to the entire !

To overcome the pain in the region for purposes, you’d see the knee starts to cave in with the arch collapsing, and the starts to tilt, leading to postural changes to the spinal column where we may likely see a forward head , exerting unnecessary pressure to the cervical , which then can bring about pains felt in the head. Can you see the chain effect from the ground up? Click the link to read more in the new post.

Do you have neck and shoulder ?

There are multiple muscle groups in the shoulder girdle that connect with the neck. So we can’t exactly separate the two in movement.

So often, we’ve to cue our clients not to start a movement with their heads. Sometimes, we had to hold their heads and let them feel their heads sitting centrally on top of their shoulders.

This is especially true - if your shoulders are over active, the likelihood for you to engage your core for the movement may be lower. That decreases movement efficiency and introduces compensatory use of muscles - this is how tight muscles will always get tighter if we are not re-learning movement pattern.

This is where doing private 1-on-1 session is so effective in helping you with postural correction, so you can let those overused muscles take a rest, and let your deep core muscles come alive! That’s how you get stronger from the inside out!
