HOW DO POSTURE MISALIGNEMENTS HAPPEN?
Our ancestors had the opportunity to walk or run over hill and dale without restricting footwear, or hard pavement. The sedentary lifestyle, combined with a shift in family activity centered on television is counter to how our bodies were developed. Secondly, modern food processing methods often deprive us of the minerals we need. If the minerals are not available, ligaments and tendons do not have what they need to be strong. It is not possible for the bones to be held in their proper alignment. Thirdly, during the last three months of pregnancy, there is not enough room for mother or baby and the feet and legs are tucked up and in. Many people fail to outgrow this posture. These factors make our body less capable of realigning itself, and contribute to our postural problems.
