How Dangerous is Posture to Your Health?

Posture is not recognised as harmful in the same way a sugar diet is considered poisonous.

Yet the truth of it is – dysfunctional Posture is lethal. 

It will end your life earlier than it should. It will make you uncomfortable: hard to put on your socks; sore from walking down the street; short of air when you need it; poor in your communication and generally miserable if you do nothing to remedy your Self.

On the flip side of that - Posture is miraculous!

Functionally Posture can improve your health. One of my Japanese Pro Trainees told us:

***

プロコースに参加してから５年後に医学的には難病を克服したと認められました。 心身共今が一番快適です。

TRANSLATION: The doctor recognized that I was cured of my intractable disease five years after I started the Pro Course. Since I started the training, I feel so much more comfortable, both mentally and physically.

You can dabble in Posture and do stupid things like trying to conform your body to an idea of what you think ‘good posture' is all about.

We don't do that sort of thing at BodyChance. As another Japanese Pro trainee put it:

***

一方的な見方や考え方をしなくなりました。 新しく何かをしなくてはならないという 足し算的発想ではなく、 不必要なものをやめていく、余計なものを捨てる という引き算の発想ができるようになりました。

TRANSLATION: I dropped my one-sided view of the world. Instead of thinking about adding anything extra, I came to see the importance of thinking about doing less of the unnecessary things I was doing. 

***

At BodyChance, you start with a fundamental truth: that the moving relationship between your head and spine - as you go about your daily routine - is continuously influencing all your other systems. By ‘systems' I mean things like:

- breathing
- digestion
- circulation
- heat beat
- temperature
- awareness
- sensory acuity
- cognitive ability

Can Posture really influence all those things?

FM never shied away from the big picture. Because he knew in the end that he had very little to do with what he discovered, it is a force of Nature, a powerful truth that can literally set you free.
