In this episode, Ellie takes on a request from a Posture Squad member to talk more about vertigo. Vertigo is a symptom of a trapped, forward head, where the ear position is not being held efficiently enough to keep the fluid within the ear balanced. Normally, when vertigo is a symptom, the answer lays in putting strength back into the feet and length through the front of the hips (this pulls the upper body backwards). Vertigo can also be a positive sign of a postural release caused by the head shifting backwards dramatically during posture exercises/routines. In this instance, is a temporary and fabulous sign that the upper body has realigned and the head position is less forward than it was.

In this episode, Ellie is joined in the studio by Danni Oates, a Posture Squad member who came all the way from Essex (and back in a day - eek!). Danni is an interesting guest to have on as she has been doing posture fairly consistently for a few years, but hasn't been getting great results (yet). It's wonderful to hear how someone can stay so motivated despite the challenges and hopefully the foot burning, hip wobbling routine we put together for her helps to start making some clear head-way. You can try her routine in The Posture Squad software now!

Many people make the mistake of thinking that pain = rest needed. Whilst this totally applies if the injury is acute (or if you're suffering an illness), this is NOT the case for chronic pain (when pain builds up over time without an 'accident'). If you rest whilst in pain, you are not changing the reasons you are suffering pain. By doing the right posture exercises during a pain flare-up, you'll bring pain levels down. Use posture to get you out of pain .. don't avoid posture when you're in pain!

In this episode, Ellie discusses the frustrating game of 'postural whack-a-mole' which is, unfortunately, a normal and necessary part of the process of getting to the root causes of your pain and truly healing. You won't untangle your posture without feeling you are taking two steps backwards frequently (you're not actually taking steps backwards, it's just that your body is changing and it can be hard to keep up). Keep going but keep adapting what you're trying to do with your body and you'll get there in the end (and feel physically amazing but also so proud of yourself!)

Join Ellie for a chat on all things shoulder pain. If your shoulders hurts, it's not 'weak' or 'bad', it's overworked and exhausted .. and needs to be left alone. Through posture detection, you'll be able to figure out what 'threads' (other joints) you need to pull (move differently) in order to put the shoulder in more optimal postural alignment to relieve tension at the shoulder. It's so easy to do - provided you are leaving your shoulder alone!

Join Ellie for an episode on all things knees! When knees hurt, the question is not 'what is wrong with the knee?', the question really should be 'why is the knee bearing too much load?'. We need to figure out what the knee is compensating for ... where is the real dysfunction? Normally it's the shoulders, hips or feet!

Join Ellie for another 'Member Morning' visit from Posture Squad member Kat. Kat's a full-time Mum, part-time yoga teacher and long-term headache sufferer. Amongst hearing more about Kat's frustrations she experienced whilst struggling to get to the bottom of her debilitating headaches, we hear about how finding posture has been a helpful aid to the headaches (especially foot burn and cramp!) and has helped her get her health and mental well-being back on track.

Join Ellie for a look into the ways we self-sabotage ourselves - this is both in the context of our posture practice, but also our life more widely. Ellie firmly believes that how we do one thing, is how we do everything, and we can use our posture practice to hold a mirror up to ourselves to highlight the ways we might not be showing much self-awareness or self-compassion. If we can focus on our self-awareness and self-compassion, Ellie believes this is where progress via posture occurs, but also where self-growth more widely occurs. She apologises for her slightly unhinged nature of this episode - it's been a very busy and very stressful few weeks and you can definitely sense the vibe!
