One Quick Tip To Help Realign Your Spine And Posture…

Don’t worry - you can do it at home and you don’t need anything special...

The static back position [pictured below] is a beautifully simple, wonderfully effective drill that realigns your spine over time. It places your shoulders in line with your hips which allows the muscles of the lower back to release... As these muscles release, your pelvis and torso will fall into line, helping to correct any weird twists / rotations…
- Lie on the floor, on your back
- Feet and calves should be elevated and resting flush with the edge of the box / block / chair
[Legs need to be fully supported - it’s the only way your lower back can relax…]
- Arms in line with the shoulders, palms up
- Take 5-10 minutes to relax and practice your breathing, with the goal of settling your hips and lower back to the floor.

That’s it. ​

Repeat as often or as little as necessary.

For best results, figure out why your spine and posture are out of line in the first place… This drill will greatly aid in sorting your s*** out, but if it’s caused by a strength imbalance [quite likely] then you’ll need to address it with appropriate strength work.
