Back pain is a common complaint and the reason so many Mums find MUTU. Here’s we’ll focus on improving back pain by looking at alignment in this post. What is<\/em> alignment? How does it affect back pain? How do you start to make changes to alignment? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Alignment is the way we are structurally \u2018stacked\u2019 internally, from head to toe. The terms posture and alignment are often used interchangeably. They are related but not quite the same thing. Posture is how we look from the outside, but alignment is how we are from within. An example is what many of us know as \u2018good posture\u2019, with our shoulders back and chest out. While this looks ‘like good posture’, it actually lifts our rib cage out of alignment. In turn this places strain and pressure on the rest of our kinetic chain (i.e. how parts of the body act as a system of chain links during movement). Yes, good posture matters, but good alignment matters more,<\/p>\n\n\n\nAlignment and back pain – the connection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
