Hi @melanie00

I am so glad you found value from this post, as it was my hope for everyone while researching and writing it.

Unfortunately, we don't pay enough attention to our movement and postures. I think it is because our need to be 'physical' is of less importance nowadays. I mean who needs to hunt and gather their food anymore.

It's only sports people who pay attention to their movements because I guess they have more incentive to do so.

But the truth is: As long as you live inside a body, we should care. We may not get the short-term benefits like food or money, but in the long term, we can avoid severe pain and discomfort.

It all starts with awareness of how we move and interact with the environment around us. That also means removing obstacles like modern furniture and apparel. The chair, for example, has not only made us more sedentary, But also has broken our relationship with the ground. Now older adults can't even stand up off the ground without support. They lost their capacity through lack of practice. Shoes and tight-fitting clothes have restricted the way we walk and move, all in the name of fashion.

Anyways, I don't mean to be all doom and gloom. Awareness is the conclusion here. So get that ball out and start practising.

Let me know how thing go:)
