Most people think of good posture as ‘keeping your back straight’, however the spine is not naturally straight at all, but gently curving. This gives it greater strength and ‘springiness’ than if it were straight. With both individual and group lessons in the Feldenkrais Method, you learn to improve your posture and the spinal alignment in a way that feels easy and effortless. Back and neck pain is often relieved simply by improving your postural alignment.
Poor posture is often the result of imbalances between opposing muscle groups. At Free to Move Training, a Physiotherapist with training in Clinical Pilates can give you an accurate posture assessment. We can also show you how to improve your posture. Pilates helps to restore muscle balance by stretching tight muscles groups and strengthening weakened groups.
With both Pilates and Feldenkrais posture improvements are often immediate
and cumulative.
