Control Your Motion to Improve Your Posture
Core strength and great balance are needed for strong posture. It can be the difference between moving with confidence and being unstable risking injury.
Strong posture helps you to look your best and move without pain.

Know your Posture ACE: AWARENESS – CONTROL – ENVIRONMENT
Be aware, and if you’re not sure, a posture professional can assess your symmetry and help improve motion with exercises focused on controlled motion. Also, if motion is restricted, Massage Therapy can relax tight muscles, and Dr. Kim Greene-DesLauriers or Dr. Pierre DesLauriers can help to unlock spinal or other joint restrictions.
Exercise is good. Exercising with posture awareness and control is much better. Take action to improve your posture with controlled motion exercises like Yoga, Pilates and StrongPosture® exercises.
TIP: Working out with funky form can undermine function and performance, opening the door to injury.
