Level Up Episode 4 - POSTURE - Just strengthen my back right?

|Posture|.

—

Our posture is set by our nervous system through prioritizing information from 3 different systems in our body.

—

In the order of importance, these systems are: 

1. PMRF
2. Our Visual System aka your eyes.
3. Our Inner Ear or Vestibular System aka the thing that sets your orientation to gravity and helps you balance.
4. Our Proprioceptive Map or Body Awareness Map aka the thing that tells us where we are in space through sensory information, muscles, joints, connective tissues.

—

It is estimated via Neuroscience research that 70-90% of our body posture is REFLEXIVELY activated through the EYES and the INNER EAR.

—

Why is that important to note?

—

That means that good posture is far less about any voluntary movement or activation and it isn’t about our muscular strength aka the #YouJustNeedToStrengthenYourBack prescription.

—

Only about 10-20% of your posture is dictated by the proprioceptive system’s control via your muscular strength and your voluntary upright body positioning.

—

Therefore if posture is primarily governed by our PMRF, eyes and balance system through reflexive action, then learning drills for those areas that can be added to our normal training routine to improve those systems is essential.
