Young or old, athlete or couch potato, strengthening posture with daily StrongPosture™ exercise is an intelligent LifeHabit for living and aging well.

“Straighten up and don’t slouch” doesn’t work.  To change your posture, you need to teach your body new habits and change how you move.  Daily StrongPosture™ exercise builds awareness of posture and, when performed daily, can stretch muscles, ligaments, and other structures that shorten with poor posture.   Unused muscles strengthen and your body learns new habits as retrains posture and motion patterns.

These posture- strengthening exercises are based on contemporary biomechanical concepts blended with ancient yoga practices and wisdom. The goal is to become conscious of your posture, and then strengthen your posture and balance over time as you progressively learn to focus on and control your body.  Many of the exercises can be done anywhere, and none require expensive equipment.  You'll use a flat wall as a reference for posture alignment, and then learn to use inexpensive, low-tech tools like exercise balls.   If you see a Certified Posture Exercise Professional (CPEP) you may also be shown how to use exercise bands, foam rollers and other low-tech tools to help you become conscious of how you are moving along the path towards new LifeHabits.  CPEP patients and clients often report improvement with problems ranging from knee pain to headaches, and say they even feel, and sometimes look, taller and thinner.

StrongPosture™ not only helps back and neck pain, but it also helps you feel better in general as you breathe deeper, reduce stress, and have more energy.  Consciously training new patterns of motion retrain the body to move unconsciously in those new patterns of motion and helps people stay active,  combating health issues from degenerative joint disease to cardiovascular and respiratory problems. Strengthening your posture with daily posture exercises as part of your regular physical activity can literally help you keep moving well as you age.
