So let’s just look at the effects of one of these body patterns. What is sway back posture?

Also called hyperlordosis, a sway back exaggerates the curve of the lower back. When standing, the belly appears to sag forward and the pelvis tilts forward to compensate.

Signs to look for in sway back posture:
-The pelvis may be tilted and positioned forward from your center of gravity
-Tight hamstrings, that pull the pelvis forward
-Forward head posture
-Upper back curvature “or hunch like”
-Sunken chest

As one part of your body shifts away from neutral, other parts of your body shift to compensate. For example, a forward tilting pelvis may result in forward head posture, this is known as compensatory adaptation. Each shift away from neutral posture sets the stage for new postural challenges.

Moving forward in a way that you can learn to support yourself in any of these body patterns, by addressing any underlying structural issues, learning where you are weak to target muscles to strengthen to correct posture, safely executing exercises, and remedial massage to breakdown chronic dysfunctional body posture.

Stress management! Just one way massage therapy creates more balance in the body.

Our body has many systems at play all the time. One of those is a stress response (fight or flight response).
Our body encounters stress and our system takes over instinctively. Nervous system and adrenal glands send signals and chemicals in the event we must take action to survive (let’s run away from the growling bear!) This response is in place to protect us (thank you body). However, in the modern world we encounter stress for all sorts of reasons that are not life and death but our body cannot differentiate the source of stress, in turn, our body is sent into fight or flight.

Stress significantly effects our health! We all know it, and unfortunately in today’s world we are so conditioned to accept being STRESSED. Some of us even wear it as a badge of honor. Let’s challenge this, and be nice to our bodies today. Let’s teach our bodies how to remain in a calmer state when external forces feel stressful.
