Massage Magazine in June printed an article by Kami Hall Carrillo, L.M.T., "11 Tips to Better Posture". Two simple tips of the eleven that I practise are hold/pull the stomach muscles in and turn the palms forward when standing or turn palms up when sitting. These two moves will open up the chest and roll the shoulders back allowing you to stop that rounded posture and allow you to take a deeper breath when the chest is not collapsed.
The worst and best transformation I have seen was a young man that had spent his school days with his shoulders rolled forward creating a collapsed chest. Everyone knows a person like that. Grew faster than the rest of the class and didn't like being the tall guy. As a confident man he wanted to stand tall with his chest open. He also found it was difficult to work with weights for chest building exercises. The years of habitual curling the body had caused chronically short chest muscles. We worked together to open up the chest by massaging to lengthen out the shortened muscles. Three mildly painful therapeutic sessions and he was on his way to better posture and greater strength from muscles that had been given back their full length.
Correcting bad posture takes time and practice. Massage will support the muscles release of the chronic held tension that are supporting the bad posture allowing a transition into a natural healthy posture.
