The human body contains more than 600 muscles, making up about 40 percent of our body weight. Muscles usually occur in pairs, meaning they are mirrored in the body across the axis of the spine. Anatomical illustrations show these muscle pairs well-developed and equally strong on both sides of the body.
In reality, however, the picture looks does look different - and it often leads to problems. Muscular imbalance means that the fine interplay of muscles in the body has become unbalanced. Uneven strain, training, or too little movement and stretching of the muscles can result in the mirrored muscle pairs in the body being of different strengths.
If individual muscles are too weak, other muscles must step in to perform a movement. Over time, the heavily strained muscles become overburdened and cramp. This leads to poor posture, initially due to tiny misalignments caused by differently sized muscle pairs, later due to pain-avoiding protective postures.
This cycle is not easy to break. The most important prerequisite for a healthy and relaxed posture is a strong and balanced core musculature. And a strong and trained back musculature alone does not protect against the dreaded back pain if the abdominal muscles are not similarly trained and developed.
A healthy body posture minimally stresses the neck, back, pelvis, and legs. This is only possible if all muscles work together as evenly as possible. People who mostly perform sedentary tasks should stand up, walk, move, and stretch as often as possible. People who work with physical exertion—such as in manual trades—often suffer from overstrained muscle groups. For them, the advice is: Stretch, relax, and find compensatory activities.
If the spine is as straight as possible, the pelvis is neither tilted into a hollow back nor a rounded back, the shoulders are down, the head is slightly raised, and the legs are evenly loaded in a slightly open position, you adopt a healthy and back-friendly posture that simultaneously trains more muscles than you might think.
With manifested muscle tension, achieving a relaxed body posture may not be possible without help. The vicious circle of poor posture and tension must be broken.
This is where Vitametik can come into play. At the lateral neck muscles—the source of all tension—the Vitametik practitioner uses their thumb to deliver a targeted, precise, and lightning-fast impulse. The brain is supposed to recognize this nerve-muscular impulse as a relaxation signal. It should inform the entire body to release all tensions. Consequently, the body can begin to regenerate.
Maintain your posture! And prevent misalignment. Your body will thank you.
