In this episode, Posture Ellie discusses what we mean when we say 'posture'. Contrary to popular belief, it's NOT about yanking your shoulders back and thrusting your chest upwards. Posture is your movement patterns, your state of being and how you show up to everything that you do. You can't create good posture through sitting still or holding yourself with artificial rigidity in certain places, both these things only create more tension and dysfunction. She debunks 'posture' gimmicks (like back braces, lumbar support and expensive ergonomic chairs) and walks us through the four main causes of postural pains.Katy Bowman podcast 'Is Posture a Thing?' - https://www.nutritiousmovement.com/articles/is-posture-a-thing-podcast-episode-173Exercised by Daniel Lieberman was a book I used for a lot of my references/information in my own book.www.posture-ellie.com / @postureellie

The Posture Ellie Story
In the first 'proper' episode of Posture-lating, Posture Ellie talks you through how she came to create her business; from a childhood of inconsistent movement and weight fluctuations, to a turbulent young adulthood of disconnection, despair and depression, to finding a love for yoga which finally concreted a consistent movement practice, to the mindset changes that slowly occurred from finding a consistent movement practice and the business that eventually emerged from those crucial mindset changes. Movement does not just change your body, it changes your brain and your whole outlook on life.I mention the 'Pain Free' by Pete Egoscue book in this podcast (and highly recommend reading) and it is The Egoscue Method I am trained in (aka posture therapy or postural alignment therapy).www.posture-ellie.com / @postureellie
