[While teaching the StrongPosture® exercises and CPEP program] It’s amazing to see patients realize how unbalanced they really are, and how asymmetrical they are… They come back in a weeks time after doing these exercises 2-3 times a day and they have more mobility, feel stronger and lighter and have much less pain.

~Kim Baker, CA, CPEP

It’s a great course to learn; it’s going well. I’ve taken Functional Neurology, Applied Kinesiology, FMS (Functional Movement Systems).. but it’s taking these courses (StrongPosture® and the CPEP posture Specialist Training) to make people understand (in layman’s terms) what’s going on with their bodies. ~Ryan Glynn, DC, CPEP

A study with people clinically diagnosed with depression found when they were supported to have better posture their depression improved. Moreover their cognition, their ability to think clearly, problem solve and communicate improved.  The study also showed their personal perception and attitude got better as well.

Posture isn’t about sitting straight, using a posture corrector or being stiff and upright, it’s how you hold your body.  This has an impact on our attitude because the way we sit, stand and move affects our outlook. Think about what outward signs of depression look like – hunched over, rolled in shoulders, looking down – a defeated posture.

You want to have StrongPosture® in all the things you’re doing in life. Think tall, because doing so helps you do something else that’s crucial for health – breathing.  When you’re slumped over you can’t breathe as well.

Especially in our tech society, everyone spends to much time on the phone and too much time sitting in front of a computer.  We’re training muscles and ligaments to work in a bent forward, folded, poor posture.

Getting help from a chiropractor makes sense to unlock restricted movement and get the body moving full range. Then retraining how you move with motor control exercise to create good postural and movement patterns, get out of pain, and keep your body feeling good is essential.

In fact, new back pain treatment recommendations from the American College of Physicians now says it’s better to get adjusted, get muscle therapy and do exercise – not take prescription drugs.

The Upper Body Posture Awareness Questionnaire (uPAQ) form was recently released and is available for free download from PostureMonth.org. If you’re working with people, posture, movement and wellbeing – be sure to use this form at the beginning of care in the assessment phase.

You and patients will gain valuable insights. The uPAQ form comes with instructions in the download.

Posture App – Screening Tip

With the PostureZone app you can take an image – but delay processing the picture until later.

Using your Gallery with PostureZone

• Take the images using your device camera (not the app)

A Gait Changer

Unlike other cell phone and mobile device use, Pokemon Go users walk while playing, disrupting their normal gait pattern.  Arms are stationary instead of swinging, head is bent forward, shoulders rolled in, and breathing is restricted.

Posture expert Dr. Steven Weiniger joins Fox News to discuss the phenomenon and gives tips to help players avoid injury.
