My Journey from Painful to Pain-Free 

Recently, I had the happy pleasure of participating in the Living Pain-Free Naturally Summit hosted by Alexander Technique teacher Jenny Turpin, who is based in France.

The presenters were a varied collection of practitioners and experts in various fields, who Jenny gathered from around the world to discuss approaches to finding relief from chronic pain.

I’m posting the first segment of my interview, where Jenny asks how I came to be so...

Before we dive in and discuss how to keep your hips moving with ease, let’s take one quick minute to refresh our understanding of where the hip joints are located in the body.

Whether or not our hip joints function naturally or unnaturally matters much more than we know.

This is because of the important role our hips play in the everyday life of our body:

— serving as a primary weight-bearing joint;
— connecting the legs to the torso by way of the pelvis;
—...

Many young children make perfect role models of natural alignment because their bodies haven't yet taken on the poor postural habits of our modern culture. 

As a result, babies who develop throughout infancy with a minimum of interference with naturally unfolding neurodevelopmental movements figure out, on their own, how to inhabit their bodies according to Nature's rules.

I’ve never interviewed anyone before. This was fun and easy to do, because Patra Conley is someone I already know, and she loves to talk and share her thoughts and ideas, and she has a great sense of humor.

How to Sit Like a Happy Dog

Sad dogs tuck their tails between their legs, causing their spines to collapse and their backs to round. Happy dogs, on the other hand, wag their tails behind them, from a position that supports a naturally elongated and supple spine.

Dogs and people have very different anatomical designs, but Kathleen found this one analogy came in very handy when working with children, who could readily understand this...

Truly good posture is not what we’ve all been taught.

Our society’s beliefs about posture are quite different from the natural posture that all healthy, well-developing babies, everywhere in the world, discover on their own when figuring out how to sit up, stand, and walk. More often than not, those people in the world who never lose the natural alignment that defines healthy posture, are likely to be free of pain,...
