Posture! Posture! POSTURE!
We have 4️⃣ major weight bearing joints - ankle, knee, hip, and shoulder - on each side of our body, with our spine running down the middle.
We move and function MOST EFFICIENTLY when these 4️⃣ weight bearing joints are ALL vertically aligned.
Alignment of our joints is dependent on the muscles 💪🏽 on each side of the joint - opposing muscle groups.
Optimal alignment and therefore functional movement occurs when opposing muscle groups are balanced. ⚖️
Poor alignment and therefore dysfunctional - and often painful 😥 - movement most often occurs when opposing muscle groups are unbalanced.
Using a plumb line - or vertical line - posture and joint alignment can be assessed to determine unbalanced opposing muscle groups. 📏🧐 📐
Targeted stretching and strengthening can improve opposing muscle group coordination ➡️which can improve posture and joint alignment ➡️ which can improve FUNCTION!!
Improved function = improved (less painful) movement = improved quality of life! 😁❤️💯
*What can this plumb line do for you? *Who wants their posture assessed? *Who wants to improve their functional movement and quality of life?
