It’s part two of our chat with West End Musical Theatre performer, lead singer of a London Big Band, and Clinical Osteopath, Jennie Morton. Today Alexa and Jennie will be picking up right where they left off talking about the importance of teachers finding their neutral for their own postural health in the teaching room. 

KEY MOMENTS 

‘The body never lies, you know, you can tell it perfectly’

‘Symptoms in the body are like a course correct, the body's going, you've deviated from your path, get back, get back’

‘Posture is body language. In every moment, you are speaking to people, even if you haven't opened your mouth’

‘Taking care of you is an act of generosity to everyone else’
