If you spend hours planted in a chair, that deep, foundational psoas muscle is likely screaming for a break. My clients that have tried this simple technique noticed a significant difference when countering the natural tendency for the knees to drift apart while sitting. By placing a band around the knees to encourage internal hip rotation while the feet are extended, you create the ideal leverage point to encourage deep relaxation right above the pelvis. This isn't just a stretch; it's a targeted repositioning to undo the tightness caused by chronic flexion. Add this quick reset into your workday routine for surprising, immediate relief from that nagging psoas tension.

When you stop holding your posture, it can feel like you’re falling forward.

That doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.
It means you’re changing what your nervous system thinks is “normal.”

Most people walk around with:
• A lifted rib cage
• A braced upper body
• Shoulders pulled back
• Weight subtly shifted backward

So when you let the rib cage drop into a more natural position, your brain panics a little.

It can feel like:
• You’re tipping forward
• You’re slouching
• You’re about to fall

You’re not.

What’s really happening is this:
Your eyes and head have been trained to look forward from an overextended posture.
When the ribs come down, you actually have to re-learn how to look toward the horizon again—without lifting your chest or cranking your neck.

Alignment changes perception before it feels stable.

That’s why posture correction isn’t about “trying harder.”
It’s about retraining awareness, balance, and vision.

If you have to hold it… it’s not alignment.
And if it feels strange at first, that’s often a sign you’re finally letting go.

Your plantar fasciitis rarely a foot only problem.

Your posture often contributes.
Are you leaning too far forward?
Is your lower back over-arched?
Is your rib cage lifted and locking your system into tension?

How your walking may be feeding the problem
Are your feet too rigid instead of adapting?
Is your pelvis stiff and not rotating?
Are you staying rigid when your foot should be pronating?

Strength is required to build support without overloading

Discovering how you move helps restore function, not just chasing pain.

If you have to hold it… it’s not alignment.

Good posture isn’t something you clamp into place.
It’s not shoulders yanked down and back.
It’s not bracing your core all day.
And it’s definitely not “standing up straight” by force.

If your posture requires constant effort, tension, or reminding—
your body is compensating, not aligning.

True alignment:
• Feels relaxed
• Allows easy breathing
• Doesn’t fatigue your neck or upper back
• Can be sustained without thinking about it

That’s why so many people with “great posture” still have pain.
They’re holding a position their body can’t maintain.

Relaxed posture is sustained posture.

Stop forcing your body into a shape.
Start organizing it so it can support itself.

🚫 Stop cueing “shoulders down and back.”

That cue doesn’t create good posture.
It creates tension, rigidity, and overcorrection.

Forcing your shoulder blades down and back:

Locks the rib cage

Overworks the upper back and neck

Disrupts breathing

Trains holding, not alignment

✅ Good posture is not a pose.
It’s a relaxed, stacked position your body can maintain without effort.

Try this instead:

Let the rib cage stack naturally over the pelvis

Allow the shoulders to rest, not be pulled

Create space through the chest without force

Breathe normally (if you can’t breathe easily, you’re forcing it)

Posture should feel calm and sustainable — not stiff and “held.”

If you constantly feel tight in your neck or upper back, chances are you’ve been taught to brace instead of align.

Awareness > forcing
Alignment > tension

🤯 Mind. Blown. The amount of conflicting posture advice floating around is staggering, and this breakdown exposes one major culprit! If you've been aggressively trying to pull your shoulder blades down and back, you might actually be creating the exact tension you're trying to fix. Discover why that common instruction can be terrible for your traps and why your arms should simply be *hanging* naturally. The secret to finally relaxing those shoulders starts much lower—with finding the correct alignment of your rib cage first. Stop fighting your body and learn the foundational step for true upper body ease!

A fascinating piece of insight into optimizing your natural movement! Many people unknowingly create unnecessary strain by holding their arms rigid or swinging them wide while walking. The secret to a truly relaxed gait, as highlighted here, lies in letting your arms hang completely loose, allowing a gentle swing where the hands just lightly brush against the legs. Releasing that tension in your arms is a game-changer for your entire body's alignment and overall comfort, often directly impacting areas like the neck. Unlock better walking habits!

Witness a direct and powerful technique for targeting stubborn fascial tightness around the neck! This method demonstrates how a firm hold on the skin and fascia, paired with carefully extending the head backward (teeth gently closed!), elicits that intensely satisfying, necessary pull. That noticeable tightness you see? That's the exact restriction being addressed, crucial for those seeking relief related to **Thoracic Outlet Syndrome**. Observe the deep, targeted work being applied to release tension in this often-overlooked area. A must-see demonstration of precision movement!

Discovering the secret to unlocking deep-seated tension right under the collarbone! This eye-opening approach reveals why going *without* lubrication can be essential for truly feeling those restrictive sticky spots often associated with discomfort like Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. The key is precision: stopping immediately upon finding that spot, taking deep breaths, and consciously allowing the shoulders and surrounding muscles to release every bit of accumulated tension. It’s a powerful lesson in tactile awareness and achieving genuine relaxation.

Prepare to meet your match! This particular shoulder mobilization is where even seasoned movers often hit a frustrating wall. Spotting those deeply bent elbows? That's the tell-tale sign you're losing the benefits and need to reset. The expert advice cuts straight to the chase: achieve straight arms *first*—don't even think about lifting until that foundation is solid. Trying to push past that stuck point with bent arms actually sabotages the stretch! True progress comes from mastering this crucial setup phase, accepting a smaller range of motion initially, and breathing through it. Incredible insights for anyone chasing better overhead mobility and targeting that tricky area often associated with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome!

This fascinating insight reveals a hilarious and common walking flaw: forgetting how to swing your arms! Many folks move so stiffly they literally forget the natural coordination between their legs and upper body. The proposed fix is pure genius—a simple technique involving forcing a backward arm swing, followed by a deliberate forward 'strut,' tricks the body into remembering its natural rhythm. See the surprising ease this simple recalibration brings back to your stride and overall movement patterns. A must-watch for anyone feeling stiff when they walk!
