Where do the commands Back and Down belong? These words ought to muster in our shoulder blades – where in anatomical terms back means retraction (drawing back in together) and down signifies depression (downward movement.)
IF we want to minimize/reverse/ameliorate what Dr. Vladimir Janda* called upper-crossed syndrome, as shown in the top right figure, we constantly can ask ourselves…”Where are my shoulder blades?”
This body awareness question will serve us well for rectifying the upper-crossed muscular imbalances that too much sitting and staring at computer screens can do to us. We can make “Back & Down” our create-good-posture secret code. Let’s whisper it anywhere – particularly in the best of company. B&D anyone? WF!
