Defying Gravity: Becoming Taller, A Beginning
About this episode
Here is a simple back-care rule: A longer spine is a happier spine. If your spine becomes shortened and the discs between the vertebrae of your spine become compressed, you are more likely to experience back pain. The problem is, gravity exerts a constant downward force on us, and interacts with our skeleton and postural habits in ways that, over time, contribute to the gradual shortening of our spine.
When we lose length in our spine, we also lose flexibility and ease and range of movement. The shorter our spine is, the more compressed our discs become, and the more vulnerable they are to injury. Nerves passing through a shortened spine are more likely to become pinched or irritated, and the muscles attached to it, are more likely to become strained.
Fortunately, you can restore the length and health of your spine by adding Feldenkrais lessons to your self-care regimen. David Zemach-Bersin presents a gentle, yet profound “gravity and time-defying” Feldenkrais lessons that you can use to regain the natural length of your spine and to reduce the wear and tear caused by asymmetrical posture and movement habits.
This program will help you to:
- Regain the healthy, protective length of your spine
- Improve the organization of your spine
- Feel lighter and taller
- Improve the carriage of your head and neck
- Reduce scoliosis, kyphosis, and back pain
- Reduce inflammation and compression in your discs
- Reduce asymmetrical wear and tear on your spine
