Now that you know how to unload your neck via a Chest Lift® and Head Nod®, let's teach you how to unload your low back via a Pelvic Curl®

The third Principle of Neutral Spine Alignment is the Pelvic Curl®, a subtle movement that helps reposition the pelvis so the lumbar spine can carry load more evenly.

And why does this matter? The position of your pelvis determines how you load your low back, hips, knees, and ankles. Technology has most of us standing with a collapsed pelvis, which is causing premature breakdown of our lumbar spine, hips, and knees.

Watch the animation to see the movement from the inside.

Next week, we bring all of this into the hips and knees with our 4th and final principle.

This week, we’re moving to Principle #2 of the 4 Principles of Neutral Spine Alignment within the Healthy Posture System™, how to get into a Head Nod®.

As we learned, Chest Lift® posture establishes the foundation of a healthy posture by stacking the upper back and rib cage. Now, we will learn how to unload the neck by positioning the skull in its neutral position on C1.

A Head Nod® is when your skull rocks back into its neutral position on C1. This is a subtle movement that drops the forehead and chin slightly. The chin should not retract or "tuck".

It may look small, but it plays an important role in reducing stress through the neck.

Watch the animation to see just how subtle the movement really is.

16+ years of chronic headaches.
Multiple providers.
Treatments that sometimes made symptoms worse.

For Melissa K., the difference came from slowing down and focusing on posture, alignment, and small changes that helped reduce strain and improve her neck stability.

A powerful reminder that the right approach can make a meaningful difference. 💙

Thank you for sharing your story and the trust, Melissa. 💙

Restoring your ability to get into and function from healthy posture requires much more than a few exercises and stretches.

At PT On Demand, we teach 4 Principles of Neutral Spine Alignment that help you break the faulty loading patterns that cause pain:
▪ Chest Lift®
▪ Pelvic Curl®
▪ Head Nod®
▪ Inward Spiral®

Over the next few posts, we’re breaking down each principle with animations that show what’s happening inside the body.

This week, we’re starting with the Chest Lift®. You cannot apply any of the other three principles until you get into Chest Lift posture.

Follow along for all four. And if you want help understanding what your own posture needs, DM us to connect with one of our PT's.

“I feel like I’ve got my life back!”

For Kristen, working with Todd was about more than just exercises. It was about finally feeling heard, understood, and guided in a way that felt safe for her body.

After years of dealing with symptoms related to cranial cervical instability, Kristen found support that met her where she was — starting slow, working within her limits, and building strength and stability in a safe, progressive way. Over time, she shared that her posture changed, many of her symptoms improved, and even her family and friends noticed the difference.

Thank you for sharing your story, Kristen. 💙

"Online is not a problem."

Michael’s story is a great reminder that quality guidance does not have to be limited by location.

With Todd’s support and prescribed workouts, he’s continuing to make progress from wherever he is. You can treat neck pain through posture restoration without hands-on manual therapy!

Thank you for the kind words, Michael. 💙

Does your upper back start to ache, tighten, or feel heavy as the day goes on?

Collapsed upper back posture may seem harmless at first, but over time it can leave your upper back stiff, overworked, uncomfortable, and even painful.

In this video, Todd explains why this happens, how to catch it early, and what you can do to help your upper back feel better.

A lot of people focus only on where they feel the pain.

But neck and shoulder discomfort often starts somewhere people don’t think to look. Swipe through this post to see what might be adding extra strain and why your posture may be part of it.

A lot of people think good breathing is only about the lungs.

But the position of your upper back and rib cage can also influence how freely your body expands with each breath. Check out how we debunked this belief.
