In 2024, The Journal of American Medical Association mentioned that annually over 14 million people in this country will call 911 due to a fall. And there’s probably millions more that do not make that call. 

That said, you can’t improve your posture and balance by just telling yourself, ‘I’ve got to stand up straight. I have to sit up straight,’ it simply doesn’t work. But we CAN retrain the brain and the body. We can do work on the software (communication between the brain and the muscles) and the hardware (muscle activation). 

In my Posture & Balance course we’ll be looking at the postural muscles, retraining them for sitting and standing. We’re going to be looking at center of mass over base of support so we don't lean forward or hunch. We’re also going to take a look at reactive neuromuscular training where we use an external stimulus to kind of trick the subconscious brain.

As just one example, many of my students have told me that learning to ground the three pads of their feet may be their most important take-away, it’s actually helped prevent falls for some of them. For static stability, there is probably nothing better.

In the fourth and final video, I put all of the exercises together and you’ll be able to follow along for a complete balance and posture workout. 

I invite you to join me in improving your posture and your balance!
