As a corrective posture therapist, I love seeing people motivated to move their bodies. New workout routines, fresh goals, big energy, I’m here for all of that. But there’s an important conversation that almost never happens before someone jumps into a new training program:

What posture are you bringing into your workouts?

If you have a forward head posture and rounded or rolled-forward shoulders (which, honestly, most people do thanks to desks, phones, and modern life), starting a new workout regimen can actually do more harm than good.

The problem isn’t the exercise, it’s the alignment: https://professorposture.com/working-out-on-a-faulty-foundation/

You ever go to the doctor because your shoulder won’t lift past “half-mast flag” level or your knee sounds like it’s auditioning for a gravel commercial, and the grand solution you’re handed is, wait for it, “Just use the other side.”

If you watched Kevin Hart’s Acting My Age, you know exactly the vibe: the kind of suggestion that makes you look around the room for a hidden camera. Because “use the other side” isn’t a treatment plan. Your doctor is a brilliant human being, but this isn’t their purview. They have to be knowledgeable in a little bit of everything, but they aren’t a specialist in movement of the body.

This is what they tell you when they have absolutely no follow-up ideas, but I have an idea!

And then there’s the other classic:
“If it hurts… just stop doing it.”

Oh, brilliant. Revolutionary. Why didn’t we all think of that?

You know, I’ll just stop lifting my kid, or gardening, or working, or exercising, or sleeping on my right side, or breathing too deeply, whatever it is.

Super sustainable.

Here’s the problem: Pain isn’t just an inconvenience.

Limited range of motion isn’t just a quirky new personality trait.

These things affect your identity, your hobbies, your sanity, and your day-to-day life. “Stop doing it” is not a plan, it’s a timeout.

And last I checked, you’re not five.

8 Principles for Posture Therapy:

1. Vertical loading, there must be a straight line from the ear to the ankle.
2. Dynamic tension dictates that the muscles of front and the back of the body must work equally but opposite.
3. Form and function tells us that the muscles tell the bones what to do and how to move.
4. Breathing deeply into the belly is necessary for the body to function properly.
5. Motion... All movement is good movement if the movement feels good.
6. Balance makes sure the right and left sides of the body work together, and are at the same height / face the same direction.
7. Stimulus, if the other laws are being broken then more and more of your daily life will be stressful and negatively impact you.
8. Renewal, every cell in your body can renew and grow, but the more rules we break the faster the cells will deteriorate and die.
