Conor Harris on Instagram: "You don’t have to do endless corrective exercises to improve your posture. Something I take a lot of pride in with my clients and model overall is teaching that we need to create a resilient body that’s capable of being strong is a variety of positions and postures. There is nothing inherently wrong with Anterior Pelvic Tilt. Nearly everyone has some degree of it. But the problem arises when we aren’t able to access other positions effectively, or load them appropriately without being stuck in APT. This is when I see pain and movement dysfunction build over time. It’s not Anterior Pelvic Tilt - it’s the inability to get out of it. So the point is, strengthen your body’s ability to load different positions. Learn what neutral is so you can effectively move
Conor Harris on Instagram: "These muscles are highly underrated players in people with neck pain, for a specific reason. The scalenes, as we can clearly visualize through the anatomy illustrations (thanks @anatomy.app!), are big players in breathing. Now imagine if they were working too much in the 20,000+ times per day that you breathe! That could be a bit of an issue.

Conor Harris on Instagram: "The biggest mistake people make when trying to fix their posture is that they don’t strengthen themselves in a better position. This is something I take a lot of pride in with my work. I never want my clients, or people who learn from me, to ever think they are fragile. Or to think they can’t push weight if their goals are movement, pain, and/or posture related. Doing only “corrective exercises” is hardly ever enough in isolation. We need to get stronger. It’s one thing to do corrective exercises that help improve mobility & movement restrictions, but an entire different beast to train your body to be resilient under stress. What patterns are you training your body to use when sh*t hits the fan and things get hard? To be clear: I’m not saying we need to ha
Conor Harris on Instagram: "THE #1 MOST COMMON HIP MOBILITY LIMITATION: …is hip extension. Hip extension matters if you care about: ✅Using your glutes properly ✅Using your core properly ✅Minimizing the risk of your low back taking over on movements and exercises ✅Not being stuck in a potentially dysfunctional posture that lacks variability Limited extension is so common that at this point, I pretty much expect everyone who I assess on Day 1 to be limited in it. Through our sedentary lives that lack movement variability, we’ve all (moderately or significantly) lost this key range of motion. Here is the fix!

Conor Harris on Instagram: "THE HARD TRUTH ABOUT “TIGHT MUSCLES”: The overwhelming majority of the internet has led us to believe that tight muscles = short, “overactive” muscles. Well, that’s not the full picture. Every muscle should have a degree of “slack” to it at rest That allows for it to relatively lengthen, or shorten, as needed depending on the task. But if you take those attachment sites of the muscle and pull them apart chronically, of course that’s going to create tension. Only stretching tight muscles that are stuck in a chronically elongated position will not help - it will make it worse. Instead, try repositioning the bones and joints around them to create a better ability for the muscle to have that resting slack. Credit to @anatomy.of.motion for the video model! W
