Bone Deep Strength

[AdamOKC]

So essentially what she's saying is to make sure you lift heavy and take your multi so you don't become a beta phaggot when you become elderly

[Saleenrulz]

So instead of carrying my bag on my back, i should carry it on my head?

[hannahtikvah]

@Saleenrulz I think only if you have the aligned posture.  Carrying books on your head if your back is sloched or arched isn't going to help.

[elwood180]

I got your bone deep strength right here.

this video makes sense on many levels.

Being an old sign painter, I managed to make sense of the contact details...

Her website is: ageless spine (dot) com (808) 896-4629

Kathleen Porter 190 Kamehameha Ave. Hilo, HI 96720

Wellspring Ctr. for Natural Alignment - Evidently she is a yoga teacher who acknowledges the common vision of many others - besides her own how-to suggestions in her book, Ageless Spine, 2006.

[einbks]

Great video. What a pity we can't read the contact details at the end of it - at least not on my screen. I'm going to put a link to this from my blog for The School for F.M. Alexander Studies in Melbourne.

[salmandron]

Pretty compelling.

[thatgirlray]

That's it. I'm carrying all my textbooks to class on my head.

Vegan diet, c`mon we have the teeth evolved to eat all, not just grass, we are not cows

thumbs up if you straightened up your back

[mariyuso]

who the fuck wants to carry rocks on their heads anyways?

anyone?

This film shows some extraordinary moving images of the most beautiful poise in action. I wish it were are simple as stacking the bones well. It requires an intricate interplay of the neuromuscular system and bone alignment to maintain poise in motion. Alexander Technique teachers are experts in helping people find the balance. Find a teacher in the UK on stat.org.uk

[constanceclarenewman]

A beautifully done video. It shows clearly and simply what I, and other Alexander Technique teachers, have been telling our students for years! Although the focus of the video is only on the alignment of the bones, and of course the whole neuromuscularskeletal system is involved, the images of good use of the body and mis-use of the body are fabulous.

[learnpoise]

Great! There are many pathways toward improvement of this challenge, which is so seductively over-ridden during skill building or the imitation of ineffective postural role models.

In the UK Soc. of Teachers of Alexander Technique newsletter: Indian porters in their mid 40s were found by x-ray to have NO spinal degrading! (Spinal degradation is common in all Westerners starting at 18!) The body is made to be use hard & not "wear out," as long as it's used within it's structural design.

[silex7777777]

k all the video is proving is that if you have good posture you can carry extreme amounts of weight on you head. but how do they get the weight to their head. probobly muscle bound men putting it on their head . also having good posture is possible wheather you musclebound or not neither contridict eachother so saying that having muscle is a waste of time is being just plain lazy.

[createharmony]

Thank you! This is really critically important information. I am glad you are getting it out . The other important thing for people to realize is that all of the pollutants and synthetic things in our environment are building up in our soft tissue and KEEPING our skeletons out of place. No matter how hard we try to be aligned, if there is a bunch of toxic deposits in the way, we can't get straight. I tried. and tried... and then i dramatically decreased my pollutant intake and I healed!

bull shit

[stortfordgrange]

Oh that life were that simple! The only way that you keep good bone alignment is by correct timing and strength of the local and global muscle stabilisers. Loads of research on this by the Australian physios. The human body was not designed to sit on chairs etc. All examples were in cultures who don't spend hours sitting on chairs. They keep the stabilising systems working normally which offloads the joints. For good posture and alignment the muscles must work in concert.Its all about timing

[hans89]

@stortfordgrange Yup, sitting in chairs makes you stiff as hell. Most people can't even touch their toes while keeping their legs straight....

[PostureJack]

This is a fantastic video. Right on! Check out the PostureJac. Videos are available on YouTube.

There are good exercise programs. However some need a device to assist them in retraining our bodies. The PostureJac is unique in its action. Have a look for yourself.

[mrdiko]

Of course we all know that aligned bones are only possibly with correct length/strength of the muscles that control them.

[staecows]

An interesting video without a doubt. However, it only says that we can re-learn how to align our bones and not actually HOW to do it... so they've pointed out a problem in a way that suggests there is a solution but then they keep that to themselves...

[cwazyplatypuses]

@staecows

Buy the book.

[tehmushroom]

thanks for that video.

[bewnet]

Makes a lot of sense!
