Never work through an injury
Even the slightest injury can compromise your ability to get into neutral spine alignment. If you have suffered an injury, please schedule a $50 Injury Severity Screen before your next workout so that we can confirm you are able to get the most out of the next workout. Remember, workouts performed outside of neutral spine alignment only reinforce the faulty loading patterns that cause the joint misalignments that serve as the foundation for most chronic pain conditions.
Knowledge is Power!
At each level of your progression toward healthy posture we are going to highlight a concept at that level critical for getting the most out of your membership.
- Joint Clearing Technique – faulty posture causes joint misalignments. Joint misalignments cause pain. Joint clearing techniques put commonly misaligned bones in alignment before you start strengthening exercises to break the faulty loading patterns contributing to your pain. The HPC contains 16 proprietary joint clearing techniques that are prescribed as needed to customize the program for your individual needs.
- Neutral Spine Alignment – when your pelvis, rib cage and skull are in alignment with each other you are in neutral spine alignment. All your vertebrae are aligned in a way that allow loads to transfer through each vertebra in a healthy way. Neutral spine conditioning is a fitness program that restores your ability get into neutral spine alignment and conditions your nervous system to function from neutral spine alignment.
