Posture & Breathing Overview

Posture Changes 1

	Two Visits		Summary The change in posture shown here is incredible. Notice how much less she slumps when she relaxes. Your body should be upright when you relax. Yes you can often straighten up your posture by contracting your muscles but your bones should hold you up. When your structure is corrected you can stand with little effort and breath easily because your spine and ribs move correctly. They aren't all jammed up as you'll see in these examples.

Posture Changes 2

	One Visit		Summary The change in posture shown here is undeniable. Notice how much less she slumps when she relaxes. Your body should be upright when you relax. Yes you can often straighten up your posture by contracting your muscles but your bones should hold you up. You can see how she holds herself up with her muscles until I ask her to relax. This takes the muscles out of the picture and you can see how her mechanics fail in supporting her posture.

Posture Changes 3

	One Visit		Summary Nice changes in posture here. When your mechanics improve you're posture pops up and you can relax without having to try and stand up straight. When mechanics improve you're muscles don't have to work as hard and painful areas get a chance to relax and you feel better.

Posture Changes 5

	One Visit		Summary Look at the folds in his shirt that show the slumping in the first video and how they don't show up in the second video. Also notice how far forward his head posture is. This takes longer to correct because he has serious forward head posture due to having a lot of mechanical problems.

Posture Changes 6

	Three Visits		Summary People often think this was faked. Hopefully after watching the videos you realize it is not. Remember, for the first video the instructions are to breathe in, breathe out and let your body relax. When he walked into the office he didn't look this bad because he was working like crazy to hold himself up... This changed quickly as you can see.

Breathing Changes 1

	Nine Visits		Summary Notice how difficult it is for this person to take a deep breath. He's struggling and using a lot of back and neck muscles to try and get more air into his lungs. The problem isn't in his lungs. The problem is that his ribs are so restricted that they barely move.This makes it almost impossible for the lungs to expand. Hence the poor breathing. Look at how much his breathing has improved after just nine visits. His ribs now move so much better. Listen to how much better he feels.

You might be wondering why I focus so much on breathing. Well the answer should be somewhat obvious. But showing improvements in breathing is an objective measurement. I could have lots of testimonials how people have improved symptomatically (subjective) but other therapies besides ABC™provide pain relief. However, have you ever heard of structural work improving someones breathing in a very noticeable and long lasting fashion? I hadn't until I stumbled onto ABC™. People usually feel the improvement in breathing with their first treatment.

With regards to how fast a persons pain decreases and goes away depends on which twist in the spine is causing the compensation that's bothering them. The difficulty patients have in their understanding is that the actual harmful twist can be far from where you hurt. Now if it takes a few months to even get to the twist that's causing your primary complaint then it will take time for you to get relief there. However during that time your body will feel different. Often other aches and pains that were annoying but tollerable simply go away. I've had patients with certain pains that didn't get relief in their primary area until something finally unlocked in their body. Getting to that point takes some time with chronic problems, but it's worth the wait. Not to mention all the other things, like breathing, that improve while they're getting there. Unwinding a persons frame is straight forward. Simply fix the bones that the body can't self correct and let the body start unwinding on it's own. All kinds of amazing things happen.

The other really nice thing is that it's impossible not to help the body as a whole. For example lets say you came in with neck pain and lower back pain. With ABC™ you can't pick which one will get treated because with ABC™ you treat the bones that the body can't self correct on it's own because there's no muscle pulling in the direction needed to self correct the bones. When the entire structure changes this changes how all the muscles of the body support you. In simple terms if you're frame is crooked, you're muscles have to work like crazy to support your crooked frame. This results in muscle pain. Change the structure and you change the pain.

By the way I always ask permission to put these videos on the web. In the office if you don't want me to take videos for your own benefit to see changes that is no problem. I have several patients that want the videos but don't want them posted online and that is ok with me. There are more examples up in the menu under Posture & Breathing. I can't put more in here because the amount of video is getting a little intense and people with slower connection speeds will have difficulty. The titles hear like 'Posture Changes 1' correlate with the menu item 'Posture Changes 1' and so on.
