More Hip Hinge Tips To Protect Your Spine Plus…How To Correct Forward Head Posture

Dr. Steve reveals the powerful secret of "Organic Posture"
Since there's been such a positive response to my recent episodes on how to protect your spine with hip hinging and hip mobility in general, I put this this episode together to take it to another level and help you reverse the "old looking" and damaging "Forward Head Posture".
This combination move is a "must do" for you if you want to stay upright and pain free so you continue to do the things you love to do!
You'll be using the ultra ninja trick that I call the "Push Away Phenomenon" of "Organic Posture".
This special method bypasses all of your brain's faulty wiring and corrupted movement programs and "taps in" to your brain's perfect posture program that you developed from the time you were born to the time you were 6 years old.
Think about it. You don't see many 4 to 6 year olds with bad posture, do you?
So go ahead and use the "push away phenomenon" I talk about in this video to re-awaken your confident, youthful, "organic" posture! Your back, your hips, your neck, your shoulders, and even your knees will thank you!
How To Walk With Confidence (Case Study)
October 3rd, 2011

Last week a private client came in because her shoulder was hurting from dragging her books and computer around campus (she's a professor) as you would pull a suitcase through an airport.
Well, she had a revelation when I gave her one very small piece of advice about "pulling vs. pushing".
Immediately she "got it" and sent me two enthusiastic emails telling me what a big difference it made in your shoulder pain and overall posture.
I thought I would share it with you, too.
Please forward, share, or tweet if it's helpful to you!
And, as always, I want to hear your questions and comments so leave them below!
Thanks!
Dr. Steve
P.S. Yes, you can still get the current exercise series to reverse Crossed Posture Syndrome at www.gettoyourcore.com/cps. But soon it will be coming down and be replaced with a brand new free program. So make sure you grab it if you haven't already!
Anti Aging Posture Exercises Using “The Bubbling Spring” K1 Kidney Point

Connect Your "Bubbling Spring" and Put Out The Fire Of Stress!
This is because when you connect the K1 Kidney Acupuncture point to the earth, it unleashes one of the most powerful anti-aging secrets ever. It's a SUPER way to "wake up" your FEET!
You see, your feet give your brain a LOT of input which it uses to make decisions about whether to protect your knees, hips, low back, and on up the chain. It's called AFFERANCE and it's VERY important! So watch closely!
Please forgive the crazy cricket, the wind, and the top of my head being cut out on occasion. The content was just so good that I decided to put in some subtitles and let it fly! (But I'll let you be the judge of the content 
This whole concept can very realistically be a game changer for you. You can feel the power of youth and vitality literally at every moment when you use this concept.
Dr. Steve
P.S. Don't miss the "Butt Squeezing" caveat at 5:20. It's the missing link for lots of people.
P.S.S. One more disclaimer…I am NOT versed in Traditional Chinese Medicine but some of these "Anti-Aging" basics, even if they are not "spot on" with TCM, will be very helpful to you.

Save Your Spine With This “Hip Hinge” Posture Exercise (How To Avoid A Bulging Disc)
September 26th, 2011
21 comments
This one leg "hip hinge" exercise is crucially important for sparing your spine and helping you avoid disc injury and the life altering sciatica that often comes along with it.
Actually, this is one of the best herniated disc exercises ever because it fixes one of the main CAUSES of disc bulges or disc herniations…too much spinal flexion (bending forward so that you low back becomes rounded).
I think you'll also be pleasantly surprised at how it makes everyday movement like bending, lifting, and even walking soooo much easier.
It's really a test of your balance. Be sure to leave a comment and tell me how you do!
The #1 Posture Exercise (and ANY Exercise) Mistake
September 19th, 2011
6 comments
Although I'll be talking more in-depth about this vitally important tip in the upcoming "Do This First" program, I couldn't wait.
This is the #1 mistake I see…not only when people are attempting to correct their posture, but when they attempt to do ANY exercise.
This is the #1 mistake I see…not only when people are attempting to correct their posture, but when they attempt to do ANY exercise.
It also holds the key to re-awakening the true "deep" core system that makes pain free, excellent posture seem effortless and look amazing!
Outside of my colleagues (still very few and far between) associated with the Prague School method of rehabilitative exercise…NO ONE is talking about this!
Yet it's EVERYTHING!

This little trick that I call "Stick The Landing" in the "Reverse CPS Now!" Home Training Course will let you know real quick if you've developed what I call "Deep Core Amnesia".
It's a great little self test and like a lot of tests…it's also an exercise you can do to develop better awareness of your center!
Also…Enjoy the short history lesson because this episode was filmed near the place in the Ohio River where Lewis and Clark put their boats in the water to embark on what turned out to be a 3 year journey to the Pacific Ocean and back!
WOW…talk about a journey into uncertainty! We should all take that phrase as a lesson…"Journey into Uncertainty!"
Let me know if you were able to nail this one right away or if you had trouble…what was it?

Step Up Exercise Pitfalls and Corrections
Doing "Step Ups" is awesome for building strength and functional stability in your hips and core…
BUT I rarely see people do it correctly. And if you have any type of back, hip, or knee pain, there's likely no WAY you're doing it correctly.
Today's episode gives you some "peel back" exercises to get you prepared for a big time step up.
Remember…always get to your core FIRST before you start in on exercises that are pitched to you for fat burning and cellulite elimination!
The Core Wellness Institute will be opening enrollment again soon to teach the basics.
