    Physio Exercises vs Posture Exercises

    In this episode, I tackle a listen question regarding the difference between physiotherapy and posture exercises. Whilst the exercises themselves are often very similar (not always though), the main difference stems in the WHY behind their prescription. We posture therapists work off the premise that a painful part of the body is exhausted (not weak) and so that it's best to leave it alone, rather than trying to strengthen or stretch it out. So, for example, a physio might assign shoulder exercises to a painful shoulder, whereas a posture therapist will look everywhere else BUT the shoulder.

    How you know when you've restored full ROM?

    In this episode, Ellie tackles the question "How do you know when you've restored full range of motion, once the pain has gone?" Ellie discusses what we mean by ROM, how chasing ROM (if a joint is painful) might be the wrong course of action and what sort of signs you're looking for from your body to indicate you still have ROM left to improve on.

    Balance, Function & Power

    Join Ellie for a reminder of what posture therapy is all about ... balance, function and power (in that specific order). Too many go from sedentary and desk-bound straight to 'power' (running, gym etc), without doing the foundational work to fix the broken movement patterns first. With broken movement patterns, 'power' is going to hurt, always. Your options are then to either a) pretend it doesn't hurt (and eventually be forced to stop) or b) give up (and be faced with the decay that occurs from not keeping your body moving enough). OR ... you accept option 3 - posture therapy. Posture Therapy gets you focusing in on your balance first, then your function and THEN the power will come. You can't boycott balance and function and expect good results!

    Posture is pattern recognition

    Join Ellie for an episode where we look at how posture therapy is really the process of pattern recognition. Finding patterns with your pain and posture exercises helps to take the emotion away from the pain and encourage logic and objectivity to take over. Ellie firmly believes there's no 'random' pain ... it's just the causes you might not have clocked yet!

    Foot Pain? Stop doing calf raises!

    Join Ellie for a chat about her recent business/personal update regarding sadly having to let her studio space go, her realisation about the studio space and how this ties into her chronic overperformance (and recommendation of Pippa Grange's new book 'Life Reclaimed') and, importantly and finally, about what postural deviations you should consider if you suffer foot pain and why calf stretches/calf raises are likely NOT the answer!

    Vertigo - a symptom AND a sign of postural release

    In this episode, Ellie takes on a request from a Posture Squad member to talk more about vertigo. Vertigo is a symptom of a trapped, forward head, where the ear position is not being held efficiently enough to keep the fluid within the ear balanced. Normally, when vertigo is a symptom, the answer lays in putting strength back into the feet and length through the front of the hips (this pulls the upper body backwards). Vertigo can also be a positive sign of a postural release caused by the head shifting backwards dramatically during posture exercises/routines. In this instance, is a temporary and fabulous sign that the upper body has realigned and the head position is less forward than it was.

    Danni Oates - Music lover and Full Time Mum

    In this episode, Ellie is joined in the studio by Danni Oates, a Posture Squad member who came all the way from Essex (and back in a day - eek!). Danni is an interesting guest to have on as she has been doing posture fairly consistently for a few years, but hasn't been getting great results (yet). It's wonderful to hear how someone can stay so motivated despite the challenges and hopefully the foot burning, hip wobbling routine we put together for her helps to start making some clear head-way. You can try her routine in The Posture Squad software now!

    In pain? Do posture, don't rest!

    Many people make the mistake of thinking that pain = rest needed. Whilst this totally applies if the injury is acute (or if you're suffering an illness), this is NOT the case for chronic pain (when pain builds up over time without an 'accident'). If you rest whilst in pain, you are not changing the reasons you are suffering pain. By doing the right posture exercises during a pain flare-up, you'll bring pain levels down. Use posture to get you out of pain .. don't avoid posture when you're in pain!

    Postural Whack-a-Mole

    In this episode, Ellie discusses the frustrating game of 'postural whack-a-mole' which is, unfortunately, a normal and necessary part of the process of getting to the root causes of your pain and truly healing. You won't untangle your posture without feeling you are taking two steps backwards frequently (you're not actually taking steps backwards, it's just that your body is changing and it can be hard to keep up). Keep going but keep adapting what you're trying to do with your body and you'll get there in the end (and feel physically amazing but also so proud of yourself!)

    Shoulder Pain - it's not 'weak' .. leave it alone!

    Join Ellie for a chat on all things shoulder pain. If your shoulders hurts, it's not 'weak' or 'bad', it's overworked and exhausted .. and needs to be left alone. Through posture detection, you'll be able to figure out what 'threads' (other joints) you need to pull (move differently) in order to put the shoulder in more optimal postural alignment to relieve tension at the shoulder. It's so easy to do - provided you are leaving your shoulder alone!
