Stand up For Yourself!

How one "holds oneself" in the world is of primary importance. How you consider or maintain your position with respect to your self image; physically, emotionally, spiritually and energetically has a profound affect on what your life turns out to be like. The idea that where your attention goes is where energy flows, speaks to the idea that how we act and think and live in a moment to moment basis has a direct result on how things become. This is especially true of our bodies.

Our "posturing" in life reflects our physical and emotional development from all the way back to our early childhood. Our feelings of shyness, introversion, athletic prowess, habitual slouching patterns, etc have a profound effect on what shape our body and spine, becomes. Ones posture has a significant effect on multiple aspects of your health. For example, authors of a large study revealed that a greater than 1 inch height loss was associated with a 64% increased risk of death and a 43% increased risk of coronary events such as heart attack. The authors conjectured that slumping postures caused physical restriction of breathing which increased the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and respiratory conditions resulting in increased mortality risks.

A strong posture is a coordinated working of the muscles and skeletal system to balance the body for optimal performance and Strong Posture requires strong Balance, Alignment and Motion.

The following quote is from research by Norman Shealy, MD, a renowned physician in the world of integrative health care:

"Posture affects and moderates every physiologic function from breathing to hormonal production. Spinal pain, headaches, mood, blood pressure, and lung capacity are among the functions most easily influenced by posture. The corollary of these observations is that many symptoms, including pain, may be moderated or eliminated by improved posture."

Chiropractic with a focus on postural re-education is an effective way to work with making improvements in posture that can offer you a path to creating improved posture and its enhanced improvement in your health and well being.

May You be Well,
"Dr. Craig"

Recommended Book of the Month:

Stand Taller-Live Longer; An Anti-Aging Strategy 10 Minutes a Day to Keep Your Body Active and Pain-Free

by Dr. Steven Weineger

This is an excellent test/workbook that covers many aspects of posture and improved health. Dr Weineger is a chiropractor that I have personally studied with, and he has successfully arranged chapters that are easy to follow methods for improving balance, strength and motion in a 7 week exercise program designed to help you to adopt an important anti-aging program. Gym ball exercises, standing, sitting and sleeping instructions are thoroughly discussed. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in exploring this topic further.

Quote Of The Month

If we have learned one thing from the history of invention and discovery, it is that, in the long run-and often in the short one-the most daring prophecies seem laughably conservative.
