Stop slouching!
How many times did you here that when you were growing up. Now that are
dealing with daily pain, I am sure you wish you would have listened
better to your mather nagging you.
What is
Posture?
Simply put, posture
is the the structural alignment of your body. In order for the body to
move it depends on the cooperation of the muscular, neural
& skeletal
systems. When these are properly aligned and functioning we stand up
straight , chin up and chest out just like they do in the army. That is
also when we feel our best.
Unfortunately, the opposite is also true. Slouching and poor posture
leads to a host of skeletal, muscular and neural problems that can make
day to day living just miserable for us. These misalignments of our
systems can lead to unfortunate and unnecessary injuries.
Unchecked Posture distortion can lead to:
1. Inflammation
2. Tissue trauma
3. Muscle spasm
4. Muscle adhesions
How many of these are you living with daily?
Common
postural distortions are:
1. Lumbo-Pelvic-Hip Postural Distortion
- are characterized by increased lumbar extension and
decreased hip extension.You will notice tight calves, adductors,
erector spinae, rectus femoris (quad), latissimus dorsi and iliopsoas. Common
injuries caused by this distortion are hamstring
strains, groin strains and low back pain.
2. Upper-Extremity Postural Distortion
- If you have rounded shoulders or a forward head posture ,
then listen closely. You will notice
tightness in the upper trapezius, neck muscles, latissimus dorsi and
chest muscles (pectoralis major/minor). Common injuries
include headaches, biceps tendonitis and shoulder injuries.
3. Lower-Extremity Postural Distortion
- A person with this distortion often has flat feet (pronation), feet
pointed outward (slew-footed) and internal rotation of the knees
(knock-kneed). You will notice tightness
in the calves, peroneals, adductors, iliotibial band (IT), Iliopsoas
and rectus femoris (quad). Common injuries
for this distortion are plantar fascitis, shin splints and patellar
tendonitis (jumper's knee).
It comes down to this.
We may not want to hear it ...but this is the truth.
We feel bad everyday because of the habits and lifestyles we have
chosen to live everyday.
When we eat right , exercise daily and keep proper posture we
will feel better. Neuromuscular massage can help you to
regain the control of your posture to help to correct these distortions.
Learn what bad posture, bad lifting habits can lead too. What is Biomechanical Dysfunction?

Post Lumbar
Surgery Pain
"Even
after lumbar
surgery My leg began to be extremely painful.
So
much so that I was
often in tears. My natureopath introduced me to Greg and He
told Me
what thought He could for Me. I never had a massage
before, and being
somewhat hesitant I can say that it has been a tremendous help for Me.
I
have told quite a
few friends at church and in my neighborhood about Greg, and even My
husband
now sees Greg regularly."

"I had heard of
Gregs
lymphatic
drainage
massage
through My
Doctor
who is a Naturopath.
I had heard
that
it could help
Me
with my
cellulite.
We started
working
together and
I
noticed that
I was
beginning to
lose
weight.
Lots of
weight.
So much that
over
the last year
I
have dropped
several
sizes in my
clothes!
I have
personally
referred
friends,&
employees to
see
Greg.
I also have
regular
sessions of
both
lymph, and
regular
massage."
