The only way good posture can be brought into practice is by letting yourself fall straight down.
Have you ever thought about how we learn to sit, stand, and walk as infants? This episode of 'Pathways to Parkinson's Relief' takes a deep dive into the fascinating world of human coordination and its implications for those living with Parkinson's disease. Michael Protzel shares insights on how our early ability to naturally align ourselves with gravity gets lost through cultural conditioning, leading to common issues like poor posture and restricted movement.
For people with Parkinson's, this disconnection can be even more severe. Protzel argues that by becoming more aware of how we distribute our weight and using techniques like the Alexander Technique, we can tap back into our body's innate abilities. This isn't just about standing up straight; it's about harnessing the energy from our body's downward movement to improve mobility and manage symptoms.
If you're curious about how something as simple as weight placement can make a difference, this episode offers practical advice and hopeful insights. Tune in to discover how reviving these natural skills can lead to better posture and greater freedom of movement.
