About Balance

Posture is learned. Every child on the earth is in Balance until the age of 3. After the age of 3, children begin to imitate the postures of the people around them. If a person lives in a culture where the adults are Balanced, then that person grows up in Balance. However, in modern cultures, most people are out of Balance. Posture is a cultural phenomena.

The Physics of Flesh and Bone.

Up until 1920, most people on the planet were in Balance.

In the 1920’s, there was a shift in the fashion of posture when the flappers ushered in a new trendy way to stand, sit and move. They moved the pelvis forward, uncentering it. This caused the spine to lean backwards, in compensation the head and shoulders moved forward, causing imbalances throughout the body.

You are designed to be friction-free. However, when the pelvis is off-center, every joint compensates and is off center. This causes friction in the joints and is the wear and tear that is the underlying cause of premature aging, joint and back pain. So, when you realign and recenter the body, underlying wear and tear dissolves. You experience pain relief and soon regain your strength and vitality.

Even if you’re not in pain, balance optimizes performance because it makes everything efficient and easier, in daily life and athletically and artistically.
