Posture Correction

Filed under 2, catholicisn, news, opinions, politics

After going through the books ChiRunning and ChiWalking I have decided to change some of the aspects I teach about posture section. So before here come some more changes and updates in ChiRunning book I would like to tell you that what is the most up to date way to align your posture. posture correction I’ve been aligning myself this new way for about 6 months now and seen it to be a much easier and quicker way to get aligned while walking or running. If we follow ChiRunning and ChiWalking books then we have to stand with out feet at a distance equal to our hip width and must avoid knees locking. After that, we go to straightening your upper spine and this is where one of the changes comes in. Just place one of your hand at your belly and place thumb and middle finger of other hand under the collarbone. Now pull you down with lower hand and use upper hand to straighten your upper body. Now just use your index finger to hold your chin upward and to align it with head and neck region. posture correcting Here is the step where problems start with different people following this method as not all people have same length of neck and index finger which could become an issue. Some people have low chin while other can have higher one. It does not seem to have good feeling to align yourself while moving or walking. So, I needed to come up with a way that everyone would be able to get their head in the right alignment without the use of their hands. Here it is…it’s easy. No put the hand on the neck back and brush with the fingers in an upside direction. While you’re doing this, lift up on the back of your head, like you’re trying to reach for the sky with the crown of your head. This motion will stretch all the muscles on the back of your neck and allow your chin to naturally stay low. You can use this practice to make your upper spine strong and can do it without using your hands. Now, in all my walking and running classes I have everyone do this easy little exercise. You have to begin with your correct poor posture status and then move on to rising your head slowly which will make your spine straight and lengthen your neck back area. This upward focus of your attention will quickly straighten your posture and actually (believe it or not) lighten your footstep by counteracting the downward motion of your foot coming onto the ground. If your neck is in correct position it will affect the whole spine area. You’ll find it easier to level your pelvis and to relax your shoulders, keeping them low. It is an important step of ‘C’ shape, a concept I am following and teaching myself not mentioned in ChiRunning book at all. While having a look over ChiRunning Posture Image you will see that ‘C’ shape is super imposed on it subject. If you look at the direction the arrows are pointing, you’ll see that the arrows begin at T12/L1 and move in opposite directions. In ‘C’ shape you will see arrow in upper part will point towards upside showing the lengthening of neck back area while other points through the front of head region and end at chin area. While in the lower section of ‘C’ shape you will see the pointing towards tailbone and immediate back to the front of pelvic region, ending at public bone. So whenever you start feeling that your posture is slipping downwards just shape yourself according to ‘C’ shape while standing, sting or waling. It will give you a great feeling of bringing your mind and body together. Your posture is crucial for your movement and your structural support. If you are strong in center with balanced posture it will affect your emotional and mental capabilities as well. So don’t leave practicing to correct posture as your life quality relies on it.
