Physical Structure

Posture, Gravity, TMJ, Breathing,Optimal function of Brain and Central Nervous System.

“Posture is crucial for good health as it helps us perform activities with more energy, less stress, and fatigue. Poor posture can compromise overall health and efficiency, affecting functions like digestion, elimination, breathing, muscles, joints, and ligaments.

The optimal functioning of our nervous system depends on adequate oxygen supply and delivery, food, ideal physiological pH, and activation through movement.”

According to Dr. Roger Sperry, a 1980 Nobel Prize Recipient for Brain Research, 90% of the brain’s energy output is used to relate the physical body to gravity, while only 10% is used for thinking, metabolism, and repair.

Postural balance and proprioception, which is the body’s awareness of its position, are developed through a series of  innate primitive reflexes , postural reflexes  and movement patterns in early childhood. These reflexes are also part of our survival reflexes, including fight/flight, digestion, and reproduction. Optimal functioning of our survival system is essential for feeling safe in our environment. Proper integration of these reflexes are crucial components of sensory processing and  integration in early childhood.

However, injury (such as birth trauma, sports injury, whiplash, head injury), prolonged stress (financial, relationship, abuse), and excessive exercise or overuse can compromise our postural reflexes, leading to a decrease in the functional integrity of our nervous system and muscles. This can result in persistent joint aches, myofascial pain, headaches, poor digestion, poor sleep, and poor adaptive capacity.

The optimal functioning of our nervous system which regulates our posture depends on proper development of these reflexes & adequate oxygen supply & delivery of food & ideal physiological pH.
