Foundational Movement Practices?FMP, a signature series of simple

movement patterns and body postures created to help you:

• Sit, stand and move better

• Be healthier and stay balanced

Commands we follow in pursuit of “good posture”

• Sit up Straight! • Stand up Tall! • Pull in your Stomach!

• Tighten your Abs!

• Without the proper approach and mindfulness, an attempt to have better posture can lead to bad habits, worse posture and a stressed spine!

When our posture is off, the body compensates by creating defensive strain

and tension producing:

• Uneven wear and tear

• Breakdown and pain

• Struggle against the

downward pull of gravity

• When posture is off, most people are unknowingly training their bodies to compensate better instead of function properly

• The Foundational Movement Practices have wonderful benefits for your body, your posture, and your overall health.

Foundational Movement PracticesHelp you:

• Update and retrain your muscle memory – default posture becomes ideal & healthy

• Activate the self-correcting nature of your spine and body

• Turn day-to-day activities into self-healing therapies
