POSTURE RE-CALIBRATION

Posturology?

Posturology is nothing short of life changing. This technique dates back to the 19th century and changes the way your brain communicates with your muscles. For you, this means improved posture, increased strength, and lower pain.

Our current health system was built to treat symptoms, instead of addressing the true cause of the symptoms.

The basic premise of Posturology is that the body receives sensory information from the environment primarily via the foot, eye, bite and skin. If there is a defect in one or more of these systems, the body adapts to the faulty signals it’s receiving, and thereby becomes pathologically imbalanced.

The aim of Posturology is to correct errors at these receptor sites, returning the body to proper equilibrium.

Defining Posturology?

Posturology is an unconventional method of studying posture, an automatic and unconscious motor act that allows the client:

– To adopt an erect position.

– To stabilize this position in static or dynamic.

– To develop the spatial knowledge of the self in relation to its environment.

Posturology is concerned with the body’s strategy to fight against gravity. Posturology is a discipline that studies the position of a subject in space:

– Its balance.

– Its stature.

– Its stability.

It considers the ability to balance on one’s feet as well as the symmetry of the body or the visual perception of horizontality.

Principles of Posturology?

To stand upright, human beings struggle against gravity and seek balance.

He must constantly adapt his body to his environment according to the external signals received by his sensory sensors located in the eyes and feet.

These signals are transmitted to the brain which, in turn, sends messages to the muscles so that the body adapts.

The cause of a posture disorder is the information received from misadjusted sensors. The consequence can be:

Balance disorders
Muscle tension
Chronic discomfort

The benefits of posturology:

Posturology does not aim to cure any ailment whatsoever. It therefore does not claim any therapeutic application as such.

It is an observation tool that can detect and improve postural asymmetries and functional balance disorders.

The benefits can be as follows:

Elimination of physical pain
Elimination of muscle tension
Significant improvement in balance

Symptoms of Poor Posture

Lower back pain
Knee pain
Hip pain

I play professional hockey in Europe and I chose Body by Choice because of the elite level training programs they offer to athletes. I worked primarily with Nick and his colleague Kolby who are both very knowledgeable. Nick set up a personal program for me including diet, supplementation and a strength and conditioning routine that helped me reach my goals. In only 10 weeks I dropped 4% total body fat and put on 13 pounds of lean muscle. If you are serious about your sport and live in the Grand Rapids area you need to give them a call. I highly recommend Body by Choice.

I came to Body by Choice knowing very little about working out or nutrition. I have about a month left in my program and I have learned A LOT. Andy does a fantastic job of teaching you the exercises and keeping you on a schedule that keeps you on your toes. No boredom here and certainly no room to slack off!! Tiffny has been super helpful in helping me with my nutrition plan and keeping me motivated by going over my body measurements. Can't say enough good things, keep up the good work!!

I look forward to my 6:00am training sessions with Nathan H. I could not ask for a better trainer, the best I’ve ever had. He cares about his clients, listens to my concerns and most importantly challenges me. It is a great environment to work out in. I courage anyone looking for a new trainer to check out Nathan H. You will not be sorry!

I started training at BBC in January and have actually stuck with it for almost a year! I joined because I wanted a change but had no idea where to start and how to use the machine. I also know that I need more than self-motivation. This gym is totally non-judgmental--just a group of clients all trying to achieve their personal goals with their trainers. I'm so glad that I was assigned Heather as my trainer. She is very adaptable and responsive to my requests, my goals, my favorite (and least favorite) exercise types. I look forward to training with her every week and catching up. BBC also provides wellness coaching, and Tiff is very encouraging and helps define your goals with manageable strategies. My only wish was that they would be open one or two hours longer on the Saturday for appointments.

My trainer, Nathan H. has been excellent. I came in to this gym knowing absolutely nothing about exercising and fitness, but Nathan’s extensive knowledge and very clear methods of training have helped me grow in to a confident gym-goer. Throughout my time at Body by Choice Nathan has always been very encouraging and pushes me to excel during every training session. All members also have 1-on-1 discussions on a regular basis with Tiffny, the nutritionist expert. She gave me very clear, achievable goals each meeting to accomplish before our next meeting. These small improvements eventually led to a huge change overall. I think anyone who listens to Tiffny’s advice and implements all of her suggestions will be well on their way to quickly achieving any fitness goal. She is also very knowledgeable and is always willing to answer any questions clients have. The gym itself is exceptionally well taken care of; it is always clean, and instead of lockers there are private bathrooms for each client to use if they wish. It is rarely crowded, especially in the evenings and Saturday mornings when I go, which is very nice to never wait in line to use equipment. All of the staff and customers also are all very friendly which create a very pleasant atmosphere – I think anyone could be comfortable here as long as they are willing to take that first step in committing to becoming a healthier person. I think anyone who has a clear goal for themselves and is willing to put in time to achieve that goal, and is also open to implementing suggestions from BBCT’s experts will find they make visible progress very quickly.
