I released this exercise about a year ago to the people who were in my first Myobalance Method home program trial group.
It's pretty amazing and all you need is a very light theraband (we use yellow).
In the video I refer to an exercise you have not yet seen but it doesn't take away from the power of the message.
Even if you don't have a band you'll still benefit with better posture and less pain if you take the "spreading" concept to heart.
Enjoy!

After 5 AWESOME years on Spring Street in downtown Jeffersonville, IN, Rebecca and I have decided it's time to move on and embrace the change we've been contemplating over the past year.
Now that we are moving away from our original intent of creating a "Curves-like" exercise circuit facility and are full speed ahead creating multi-media home training and study courses, we are headed to the Nolan Centre at 131 E. Court Ave. in Jeffersonville just 3 blocks away!
The new space allows us to let go of some of the wide open wasted space and create much more functional studio space for creating new content and will serve as home base for our new online educational adventures with the upcoming CoreWellnessInstitute.com!
Join Rebecca and I in thisbittersweet episode of Core Wellness TV as we say goodbye to Core Wellness on Spring Street and hello to Core Wellness Institute, LLC!
And in case you're wondering, YES, I will continue doing chiropractic rehabilitation sessions and nutritional medicine consults at the Institute!!
P.S. If you're local and would like to leave a comment about any experiences or health breakthroughs you've had at the Spring Street location, please do! I've been honored to be a partner in some miraculous transformations in this space and would love to hear your side of the story!
For all you Core Wellness Garden Cast lovers…Here's a BIG DOSE of early spring action in our back yard no till garden!
You'll hear our 5 year old share deep philosophy and share his infectious laugh.
You'll see cold frames and mini green houses in action for year round growing and harvesting of dark leafy greens.
AND…You'll learn how a no till garden can create more mineralized plants for a more alkaline garden and therefore a more alkaline body environment!
Remember that hormones and vitamins only work if the pH of your body is right. An acid enviroment from too much grain and meat (especially grain fed, factory farm animals) means less effective biochemical reactions in your body which leads to low energy, weight gain, and degenerative diseases like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes to name a few.
So watch intently and let me know what you think of these GardenCasts…MORE or LESS.
Also let me know what kind of content that I've put out so far is your favorite! I want to serve you best. So drop me your feedback in the comments below!

A few episodes back I got some good suggestions for future videos and today I respond to Maggie May who wanted to know the best way to lift and carry a child.
Young mothers (and fathers, and grandparents) should ALL watch this video so if you know anyone who's regularly lifting a child (or anything else for that matter) everyday…share this with them!!
Remember…"little hinges swing big doors"! And today's "little hinge" is a very important one for saving millions of backs and necks across the world!!
Be sure to leave a comment to let me know what you think of the video and also let me know what activity of daily living YOU would like to see covered on an upcoming episode!
Pay really close attention to this video because it helps you avoid the most toxic movement program ever…"The lift and twist" with a flexed or "rounded" spine.
Snow shoveling is a classic example of a disc blowing maneuver that can put you on the road to be grumpy, disabled, and eventually a burden to everyone around you!!!
AND NOBODY WANTS THAT!
Remember…The most important exercise you'll EVER do is LIFE!
Every moment of every day can be a highly effective, pain relieving, spine sparing exercise if you pay attention to…
HOW YOU DO WHAT YOU DO WHEN YOU DO IT!
Leave me a comment if you've been getting any benefits out of these videos or if you've got a movement pattern or question you'd like me to cover in an upcoming episode!!
(And if you haven't got your "Reverse CPS Now!" FREE video series to help get you on track with the whole Core Wellness school of postural thought…Click Here or on my picture to the right!)
As you join me today for my morning movement ritual with the geese at Perrin Park, you'll discover the 5 moves I do when I didn't make time fdon't have time for anything else (although I didn't show sun salutations on this video, which I normally do as a warm up).
I'm always amazed how just a few minutes of good functional movement can
reigniteandreconnect the neural circuits in your brain.
It's amazing. If you just do these 5 moves every day without fail you'll be amazed at how your brain and body will feel as well.
One caveat: What I did NOT do in this video is speak of the subtle things I'm doing with the INTENTION in my mind that you're NOT seeing!
You must ALWAYS have the INTENTION of "pushing away from your support points" and
breathing into your core, which are fundamental prerequisites to ANY move!
You can learn more about these fundamentals in the FREE "Reverse CPS Now!" video series you can get by clicking on my picture on the right of the page.
Do these moves and let me know how they make you feel in the comments!!
Today's video brings to light something most people NEVER even consider when it comes to protecting and preserving you spine, hips, and knees from debilitating pain syndromes.
This subtle little "movement pattern adjustment" will make a world of difference when you apply it to your stair climbing, ellipticals, and especially if you're doing any kind of step aerobics!
Let's face it…if you want to continue to soak up all the amazing things life has to offer, it's going to be a HECK of a lot easier if you can bound up a flight of stairs! While you're at it…why not take TWO at a time!
You'll also learn about the excellent self test called "reversability" taken from the infamous Moshe Feldenkrais.
ENJOY and LEAVE ME A COMMENT telling me what other movements you'd like to see broken down and done in an efficient and strain free manner so you can start living life with more energy and less strain!
