In this episode, Ellie tackles the question "How do you know when you've restored full range of motion, once the pain has gone?" Ellie discusses what we mean by ROM, how chasing ROM (if a joint is painful) might be the wrong course of action and what sort of signs you're looking for from your body to indicate you still have ROM left to improve on.

If you ever have any thoughts or questions about anything you'd like covered on 'Posture-lating' then please do get in touch with Ellie!

Join Ellie and Posture Squad member Mirka (who came camping from Shropshire) for her FINAL 'Member Morning' from her current studio. Mirka has an interesting story - she was brought up in Slovakia, moved to Shropshire, walked the Camino de Santiago, loves to garden, trained as a breathwork instructor, is training to be a counsellor and, of course, loves posture! Listen to Mirka tell her story.

Join Ellie for a reminder of what posture therapy is all about ... balance, function and power (in that specific order). Too many go from sedentary and desk-bound straight to 'power' (running, gym etc), without doing the foundational work to fix the broken movement patterns first. With broken movement patterns, 'power' is going to hurt, always. Your options are then to either a) pretend it doesn't hurt (and eventually be forced to stop) or b) give up (and be faced with the decay that occurs from not keeping your body moving enough). OR ... you accept option 3 - posture therapy. Posture Therapy gets you focusing in on your balance first, then your function and THEN the power will come. You can't boycott balance and function and expect good results!

Join Ellie for an episode where we look at how posture therapy is really the process of pattern recognition. Finding patterns with your pain and posture exercises helps to take the emotion away from the pain and encourage logic and objectivity to take over. Ellie firmly believes there's no 'random' pain ... it's just the causes you might not have clocked yet!

Join Ellie for a chat about her recent business/personal update regarding sadly having to let her studio space go, her realisation about the studio space and how this ties into her chronic overperformance (and recommendation of Pippa Grange's new book 'Life Reclaimed') and, importantly and finally, about what postural deviations you should consider if you suffer foot pain and why calf stretches/calf raises are likely NOT the answer! Stop symptom chasing!

Join Ellie and husband, Posture Ben (@posture.ben) for a recap of his recently completed 10 day, 500km barefoot hike across all 95 'Ethels' of the Peak District.

Ben speaks about his 'why' for the challenge, his training plan, the challenge itself, highs and lows and his perspectives gained by the end.

Ben is raising money for Mental Health UK and the Campaign to Protect Rural England and has kept his challenge website up and running if you'd like to learn more about it here - https://benschallenge.com/
