To correct your posture, lengthen your torso, and stretch your fascia, you need to make multiple movements at once. But making multiple movements simultaneously is not easy to do at first. What strategies can we use to improve our ability to link together multiple movements into one unified gesture? Find out. I offer lessons in the Initial Alexander Technique, which are conducted one-on-one with a teacher over Zoom. They are designed to help you gain conscious control over how you move your body. Most people have no idea what they’re doing with their body, and as they misuse their body, they end up with discomfort, pain, and other issues that they may not even realize are caused by what they’re doing to themselves. But how do you figure out what you’re doing wrong? And how do you change what you're doing and overcome lifelong habits? In an Initial Alexander Technique lesson, you will record yourself through Zoom, so you will be able to see and understand what you are doing when you stand, sit, walk, and perform other simple gestures. With the assistance of your teacher, you will come to understand how you are misusing the mechanisms of your body, and you will gain the ability to choose to use yourself in a more sensible way. You can learn how to use your body without pain. You can break free from long held habits. All you need is a system that works.

All of this makes sense to me, as it should position certain parts in their correct place. But if we have a concerted adjustment for the downward movement of the arms, for example, how would we continue the downward movement of the arms if we stop the adjustment at a certain period? Also, when I do this for the lower torso (ribs, iliacs going back, etc.), it would return to its original position after stopping the adjustment at three seconds. It's like I have to keep it forced back for it to stop in that position. The way I check to see if it is back or not is if the curve in my back disappears when doing the adjustment or if the curve is still there. I've noticed that even if I do have to have a constant force on keeping my lower torso back, I feel like my model looks in good posture. I think this is because even though I am applying constant force, I am applying constant force with the upper sternum going forward, canceling out the force of the lower torso going back and keeping it in equilibrium. So as long as the inverse movement is involved would it matter? But I don't know overall, whether this would still not be ideal or be counterproductive.
