Posture - By Paula Moore -- Video Playlist
"My name is Paula Moore and I’m an
on-line video blogging posture fanatic. I use videos to teach people
good posture so they age well.
I came into chiropractic 20 years ago,
living in Toronto and suffering daily headaches. Chiropractic resolved
my headaches quickly and I was so amazed that I up and moved to the UK
to study chiropractic.
There was one issue, one bugbear, one total frustration throughout my chiropractic training and many years that followed. I HATED MY POSTURE. This drove me to distraction. I was ashamed to be a chiropractor with bad posture.
I tried everything. I trained with top
posture experts like Professor Stuart McGill and I even qualified with a
fellowship in the Clinical Biomechanics of Posture (another two years
on top of the first five). I had x-rays taken of my neck and they
confirmed what I feared. My posture was beginning to look like my
mothers.
One morning though, I woke and I looked
at my posture in the mirror-this day I saw something different. The
penny dropped. All along I’d been telling my patients to look at their
WHOLE body. I wanted them to understand that they didn’t have a low back
problem, a shoulder problem, a knee problem but a problem with their
body as 1 whole. I had forgotten my own Golden Rule.
This moment may just have changed my
life because it was at this moment that I began creating posture videos
from the exercises I put together to correct my own unattractive forward
head posture."
