Muscle activity during running 🏃🏽‍♀️
The quads, calf and glutes are important shock absorbers and the hamstrings work hardest during the swing phase.

Movement snacks - which usually require a change in posture not unlike that described here by Charlie Brown, admittedly not known for his postural expertise, but he does make a valid point, proven by research!)
But, should we move? Why should we? How long for? And do what?
Join me on Lunchtime Live on Newstalk (link below) when I will be discussing the many - valid - questions around this concept with Andrea Galligan. Prompted by now having an evidence-based answer, thanks to a study at Columbia University published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

🥇 June's 1st on the 1st 🥇starts with a query - what is the collective noun for a group of high-beamed women who have been uplifted & enlightened by having a PostureFitting?!? Answers on a postcard or in the comments pls ...🤪

Last Friday at the Ladies Lounge held in the RCSI, Dublin, was the 1st time:
1) we had a gathering of PostureFitting "alumni" in one location;
2) that during my presentation, when I asked the Ladies Lounge attendees to actively slump in their seats, this trio physically struggled to slouch! A fist-bumping vindication of the support their PostureFittings have given them!

And the answer for them to the headline "Are You Wearing Someone Else's Bra"? A resounding "Not any more!!"

Gravity, we have your number!💃👙👀💃🏿

Radicular Pain or Radiculopathy? Not the same thing!⁠
Both sound similar, but the difference changes your assessment and rehab approach completely.⁠
⁠
🧠 Understand the distinction:⁠
• Radicular Pain = Symptom⁠
• Radiculopathy = Clinical Syndrome⁠
⁠
Know it. Spot it. Treat it right.⁠

🤗 Extra hugs available today for National Hugging Day, as if I needed a reason! 🤗

💃🏼 At PostureFitting, part of our conversations with women & girls includes the concepts of size & fit when it comes to breast support.

👙Bra sizing, let's be honest here, is a minefield of inconsistency. The discomfort that makes you want to take your bra off asap. This is because manufacturers use differing fabrics, elastics, & even the bra style itself impact how the bra fits.

💃🏿Once you learn how your bra should fit, you realise that size doesn't matter. Fit matters.

👀 The best size is the one that fits. That's worth repeating.
The best size is the one that fits 👊🏼....which goes for hugs as well, I guess!!

🤗 Sending hugs of gratitude today to, & for, my amazing PosureFitting Partners, for all they do to support women & girls:
