IMPROVE YOUR POSTURE

When I tell people about my work, they understand that it has to do with postural habits. Oftentimes, their immediate reaction is “Ah, I really need that!”, followed by an attempt to push and stretch to stand straighter, trying to comply with what they understand as “good posture”.

 

The consequence is a series of exaggerated muscle contractions that compromise the freedom in the joints and therefore movement. The person seems tense and will return to their usual habits very quickly because it takes a lot of energy to maintain these tensions – not to mention the potential pain in the back, neck and any other affected part.

 

That’s why I think it’s rather delicate to talk about “posture”. This word creates the idea of a fixed position, of being placed in space like a marble statue. You have to use a lot of strength to stay still like that.

 

Yet we are not made of stone! We are – in the physical dimension – a wonderful and ultra-mobile system of bones, muscles, fascia and nerves, among others, whose purpose is to interact harmoniously with each other, dancing with gravity, falling, lifting and adjusting in micro-movements all the time.

​

So, how about interfering as little as possible with this dynamic, instead of forcibly assuming a stance that holds us back and harms us? The key is non-doing, letting the natural movement happen. For standing is movement. Sitting is movement. Posture is movement.

 

Starting with these basic movements, I can help you release habitual tensions and increasingly allow the elegant and efficient natural body-mind organization to happen.

​

Through the sessions, you may experience the following benefits:

​

• Elegant and healthy posture

• Physical, mental and emotional balance

• Regulation of the central nervous system

• Relief and prevention of chronic pain and injuries

• Light and natural alignment in each activity

• Continuous body consciousness

• Aging with grace
