A couple weeks ago I was working with a client and discussing her posture as we focused on activating her core musculature. I was providing several hands on cues and verbal instructions to help her achieve a better standing alignment, but it didn’t seem to be working. Then I suggested that she stand with confidence. Amazingly enough, when she did this her alignment was perfect. It wasn’t a muscular weakness or fascial restriction at all, but rather a mind set. This is just a reminder of how much more powerful the mind is than the muscles. Check out the pictures below. Can you guess which one shows confidence? Begin to notice your own posture in various situations when you are excited, nervous/ anxious, proud, upset, or determined. Make a difference.
