MY APPROACH
Breathe
It sounds simple. We do it 22,000 times a day and yet it is our most challenged pattern. Everything from injury to allergies, pelvis misalignment to organ pain easily alters our breathing. When breath becomes disrupted the torso no longer properly pressurizes to maintain hip and pelvis alignment, spinal stability or shoulder stability.

When breath becomes disrupted the torso no longer properly pressurizes to maintain hip and pelvis alignment, spinal stability or shoulder stability. These joint misalignments lead to discomfort, pain and injury throughout the entire body.
There are two main alterations that occur in pelvis position when the abdomen, or "core" is not properly pressurized.
Right Stance
Head and neck move to the right
Torso turns and side bends to the right
Left hip shifts forward
Left Hip Too Far Forward
Left Hip Too Far Forward
Shifts torso and pelvis to center over the right hip
Compensation
Over time and with intra-abdominal pressure compromised both hips can tilt too far forward as the body tries to re-center and stabilize itself.
Forward Stance
Head and neck move forward
Torso elevates (rib flare)
Low back extends
Hips tilt forward
Both Hips Too Far Forward
Both Hips Too Far Forward
Shifts torso and pelvis forward toward the toes.
