Are you putting in the effort and actually feeling worse?

body alignment

You’re not alone.

 

 

Like millions of people, you know all the benefits that come from working out and being fit.

 

But…

It seems that no matter how hard you work

instead of feeling better,

your body feels like it’s breaking down

finding more aches,

more pains, and, unfortunately…

even injuries.

Chances are you’ve probably been asking yourself “How long can I keep this up?”

I get it.


It’s so frustrating to put in the effort and not see the results.

 

You’re trying to improve your body but instead, it’s actually feeling WORSE.

WHY IS MY BODY IN PAIN?

She’s a runner, she’s out there working hard, but she feels anything BUT that runner’s high.

That’s because her body’s out of alignment.  

 

 

Watch again and look for these problems.

 

 

The foot isn’t coming off the ground in a neutral position.

The knees are crossing the midline and the legs are rotated in from the hips.

The shoulder drops and the core rotates with every step.

 

 

Forget about how much extra energy it takes to move like this.

 

Take a moment to consider how much strain is on each part of the body that’s out of alignment and the twisting of each joint.

 

 

Think about how hard all the other muscles and joints are working to cover for the weakness in the muscles that literally, aren’t pulling their weight.

 

 

And that’s why, at the end of a workout, instead of feeling awesome, you ask yourself:

“How much longer can I keep this up?”

 

HOW CAN I FEEL BETTER?

Simply….

by getting your body into alignment.

By improving your biomechanics.

By reducing the stress on your muscles and joints by allowing your body to relax in neutral postures.


And I bet you’re saying to yourself, “How do I even know if I’m out of alignment?”


Our Body Has One Goal

To Function

No Matter What

If you’ve ever sprained your ankle or hurt your knee you know exactly what I’m talking about.

Somehow you make it to the bathroom.

How you move may not be pretty – you’re limping, using support, and probably wincing in pain.

But your functioning.

That’s what the body was designed to do.

 

The problem occurs when the body says to itself:

Hey, if I move like this I don’t feel the pain.

 

So the quickest and easiest way to avoid pain is to walk funny.

The long term effects of this change in gait doesn’t matter – it’s only about the immediate need to function.

 

You’ve developed compensations – the body’s amazing way to reduce using an area that’s hurt or injured and still allow you to function.

 

So as your body continues to function, it continues to use these maladaptive postures, these changes that it put in place to spare you the pain and keep you functional.

 

 

But at a cost.

 

Other muscles and joints have to help out to make up for the muscles that aren’t working and the joints that aren’t moving the way they used to.

 

 

Most people aren’t even aware of these compensations.

 

 

What they are aware of is the pain 

in their back 

or their knee

their sore hip 

and the inability – no matter what they try – to get rid of the pain and feel better.

 

 

Because that’s the goal isn’t it?

 

Feel good and move well. 

SO, if you don’t know how you’re compensating, how do you fix it?

WHERE TO START

The Body Alignment Screen is exactly what you need if:

You Need to Know How You Move

If you’re like most people with aches and pain, 

you KNOW that the proper stretches and exercises will help you feel better and move better.

 

But the million dollar question is…

what exercises are right for you?

 

walking heel to toe

The Body Alignment Screen gives you the answer.  

And it’s not going to cost you a million dollars.

 

Each component of the Body Alignment Screen evaluates for risk factors that cause pain, muscle fatigue, decreased performance, and increased injury risk.

 

Utilizing research based protocols from Developmental Kinesiology and Functional Movement Screening your Body Alignment Screen determines:

 

how you’re moving

what’s tight and needs to be stretched

what’s weak and needs to be stronger

how all your parts are working together and what needs better coordination

 

This gives your body the Foundation it needs for all your activities.

 

 

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

 

If you’re like most people, you can tell me where it hurts.  And you definitely know you’re not feeling your best  – fatigue, poor sleep, joint pain when you try to exercise

BUT…

 

you don’t know how to fix it

 

AND

you don’t want to waste any more of your precious time trying every type of online video or stretching book to see if magically one will work for your body.

 

THE FACTS

If you don’t know what’s wrong with your body, you can’t fix it.

And this is especially true with movement.

 

 

How you stand, how you move, how your compensate when asked to sit, reach, bend, stretch, all of these show me the factors that are causing you pain and holding you back from Feeling Better and Moving Better.
