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!

BTW…my apologies for being absent over the last few weeks. A couple of family illnesses have diverted our attention recently. (Rebecca, I, and the boys are all fine!)
But we're getting back on track and I've got the wheels in motion on new coaching program for people who want to get rid of the painful posture of aging and take "Organic" Posture Transformation and Functional fitness to the next level.
I'll also be offering solutions to some of the great comments we've been getting on the blog in an upcoming video, so stay tuned!
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!
What's the best way to avoid chronic pain and strain from sitting in a chair all the time?
GET RID OF IT!!
The tips in the video above will hopefully give you some ideas as to how to make your computer or work station environment more ACTIVE!
Lots of people are starting to use exercise balls chairs but if you choose the wrong size you could be doing more harm than good!
The video squares that away for you right off the bat!
The standing desk station is my favorite. I stand on a rocker board so I can keep my central nervous system engaged and my posture balanced. It's very difficult NOT to stand in good posture when you're balancing on a rocker board!
PLUS…you get to burn some extra calories in the process!
And as far as the exercise ball surfing at the end…well that's obviously advanced core training and I do NOT suggest you go and try that one just yet.
So let me know what you think about these tactics for reducing strain at your computer work station and let me know what helps YOU the most to avoid strain while you work!
Another question if I may…If you sit on an an exercise ball chair or use a standing desk workstation, has it helped you??
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!!
