Good Posture
is a Myth

A man in a business suit sitting at a desk in an office, concentrating while working on a computer. There are scales of justice and a framed picture of a government building on the wall behind him.

We sit most of the day — slumping, crossing our legs, craning our necks at our screens — which leads to aches and pains. The problem is we don’t feel it right away, only when it’s time to get up and move around. Which makes it hard to identify the source of our discomfort.

And so we try expensive ergonomic chairs, which make us more comfortable, but not less sore. So we get standing desks — standing may work in short bursts, but for most is not sustainable all day.

What if I told you it’s not about the furniture, but how you use it?

No desk, chair, or posture brochure can tell you how to feel best in your own body. Perfect posture is unique to each person, and only you can discover what feels right to you.

Once you understand your body better, you will sit, stand, and move with more energy and higher confidence, which leads to less soreness, less aches, and clearer thinking.

Hi I’m Carole!

I’m a movement specialist with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy and decades of experience working with thousands of patients. In my work I’ve discovered that most people don’t see the link between how they spend their days and how they feel physically.

Many people assume that soreness and weakness are a natural consequence of aging. But what if that’s not true?

I have learned that with a few simple tweaks to our posture, balance, and mindset you’ll discover that it has never been just about your chair or desk, but rather about how well you understand your own body.

Not only can we reverse our aching bodies and tired minds, but dramatically increase our confidence and performance. And that’s what I help professionals and students learn in my interactive workshops and presentations.

“Your message that “frailty is not inevitable” is so important, and not getting enough attention even in the medical field regarding prevention.”

“This talk was invaluable. I am inspired to start putting my socks on standing on one foot, to regain some of the balance I seem to be losing as I age.  Thanks for reminding us to take better care of our futures, now!”

-Stewart Schulman, Documentary Filmmaker and Screenwriter
