Definition of Posture
Posture is the arrangement of our body and limbs.As massage therapists it is important that our posture and the clients posture are correct to get best results and so we are not strained. With good posture our muscles are loose and relaxed, joints enjoy greater freedom and pressure points are relieved

Hi Jess - Good to see you have mastered the crazy blog...
ReplyDeletePosture is more than "correctness" - this ideal has come about from a pre-occupation in learning gym at school - mostly boys learnt it (1920s ... and they were encouraged to stand upright to prepare for being in the military!!
So for us posture is more fluid - its about building a balanced stance to manage applying massage strokes between your client and you.
Their posture also needs to be able to become more fluid and easy as well..
