Sound familiar?
It's a common theme I hear from people in their 40's and 50's. It's as if age creeps in and posture gets worse... not to mention computer time, cell phone scrolling, etc.!
Most people believe the solution to correcting their posture is just more stretching, strengthening, and foam rolling, BUT they're missing the MAIN thing! โฌ๏ธ

The PMRF (a part of your brainstem), the cerebellum, the visual and vestibular systems are all key brain areas that help your body automatically organize itself against gravity. When they are not functioning optimally, your body may default to poor posture and undesirable symptoms such as:
โข Forward head posture
โข Rounded shoulders
โข Tight low back
โข Neck Stiffness
โข Fatigue when youโre standing or moving
Addressing the nervous system rather than just stretching and strengthening muscles, could be the missing link to making significant changes to relentless poor posture!

2๏ธโฃ Imagine a tennis ball on the back/top of your head and gently press it toward the ceiling.
