A Great Posture Cue from Rhonda

Attend to your neck tube

Imagine that some part of your neck can be represented by a tube.  You may choose your windpipe, or your oesophagus or your spinal cord.  Picture it as a piece of tubing.  Imagine holding a piece of tubing at the top and let it drape downwards. Relax and lengthen your neck.

Now picture the tube stretching forward.  This represents the "head forward" posture. Alternatively, put a kink or bend in your imaginary tube.  This represents the posture when we tilt our chin upwards to lift our head..  No you don't.  Try not to shorten the back of your neck.

This week's habit, lengthen your own neck (tube).  It is a handy cue to better posture, therefore less neck pain.  So it keeps you looking younger, slimmer  and and smarter.

Thanks to Rhonda Ohlson, Feldenkrais Practitioner.
