Debaser; Postural Dysfunction

[Tom Treutlein]

I remember you talking about this and I wanted to know more about it. Any links and info to programs for it?

Well there's structural and muscular so far as I know.

Most people have muscular.

Most people have pronated shoulders which can be relieve by thorough chest and lat stretching.

Most people have anterior pelvic tilt which can be alleviated with lowerback and hip flexor stretches.

Ohhh, that's the one Debaser spoke of - anterior pelvic tilt. Any info on how to fix that and such, Ghetto?

Thanks, man.

This book will help quite a bit, as will Verstegen's book. You can also check out the Egoscue website, send them pics, and they'll custom design a program to fix your posture. I think it's only 15 bucks, which is a great deal considering a visit to their clinics is like $150 or so.

My mistake, $35 for the custom program, 15 is for a different site service.

If you actually plan to DO IT (the biggest concern with this is compliance vs. laziness), it'll be the best $35 you ever spent (other than the trio of Thai hookers).

How long are typical custom programs? I mean, will it interfere with strength training or anything else? I know the severity of the problem can alter greatly among individuals, but on average how long do you think it'd take?

Egoscue definitely works.

I have used it to great effect (greatly improved my posture - relieved pain).
