The Psoas Muscle: The Most Important Muscle for Posture Most people don’t even know where the psoas is—yet it’s one of the most powerful posture muscles in the body. It starts deep in the inner part of your thigh (femur), travels through your pelvis and abdominal wall, and attaches to the front of your spine at T12–L5. It’s the only muscle that connects your upper body to your lower body—and when it’s short or tight from sitting, it can pull your spine, pelvis, and posture completely out of balance. The position I’m showing here—one leg at 90°, the other straight, lying on your back—gently separates the hips and gives the psoas space to lengthen naturally. Breathe deeply into your stomach and let it release. Want to unlock your psoas and fix posture issues like forward head, rounded shoulders, and back pain?

Do your feet naturally point out to the sides when you walk? This is often a sign of poor alignment in the hips and pelvis—caused by underactive internal and external rotators. When those key muscles aren’t doing their job, your feet start to rotate outward, which might seem harmless at first... but it can create long-term stress on your hips, knees, and ankles. Here’s a simple corrective move you can start doing today: How to do it: Sit upright in a chair with your feet flat on the ground. Place a pillow between your knees and gently squeeze, holding each rep for a second before releasing. Aim for 60 reps total. This activates the inner thigh muscles that support the pelvis, helping realign your hips and improve the way your feet land and move. Dealing with duck feet, flat arches, or instability in your step? Comment “Foot Alignment” and I’ll send you my favorite routine to help you fix it.

As we get older, posture naturally starts to change. You might notice your shoulders rounding forward, your upper back curving into a hunch (kyphosis), or even more stiffness and discomfort in everyday movements. These changes aren’t just “part of aging”—they’re often caused by muscle imbalances, joint misalignment, and a lack of mobility from years of sitting or repetitive habits. The good news? You can improve your posture at any age. This gentle exercise helps strengthen the muscles that support the shoulders and upper back while restoring mobility and balance. It’s effective for seniors dealing with arthritis, rounded shoulders, or even spinal issues like kyphosis. You can do it in a standing, sitting, or kneeling position—whatever feels best for your body. Always use pain as your guide. Stop if anything doesn’t feel right—these movements should feel safe and supportive. If you’re ready to take the next step, click the link in my bio to start your FREE 3-day trial of my Senior Posture Program.

Rounded shoulders, tight chest, and a forward head posture don’t just happen—they develop over time from daily habits like sitting too much, texting, or even how we sleep. This pulls the body out of alignment and puts extra stress on the neck, upper back, and shoulders… eventually leading to pain, stiffness, and poor mobility. These five exercises help reverse that. They open the chest, strengthen the mid-back, and train your body to stand tall again. Here’s what to do: 1. Thoracic Extension Hold – Hold 1 minute 2. Chest Opener – 15–20 reps 3. Shoulder Press with Band – 20 reps 4. Bird Dogs – 25 reps (alternating sides) 5. Cats & Dogs – 10 slow reps You don’t have to live with poor posture or daily pain.

Are rounded shoulders causing you neck tension, upper back tightness, or poor posture? It might be time to focus on opening up your chest and realigning your spine. These 3 wall-based exercises can help improve posture and bring your shoulders back into balance: 1️⃣ Wall Y Lean (Hold for 30 sec): Stand in a “Y” position with arms overhead and lean your chest gently toward the wall. This extends the spine and encourages proper thoracic alignment. 2️⃣ Wall Elbow Drops (10 reps): With elbows and back against the wall, place your hands behind your head. Gently drop through your mid-back to activate your upper spine and reduce slouching. 3️⃣ Wall Shoulder Blade Press (10 reps): Press the backs of your hands flat into the wall, then slowly drop through your shoulder blades. This helps retrain postural muscles and brings your shoulders out of that rounded position. Rounded shoulders can lead to chronic pain, shallow breathing, and reduced mobility if left unaddressed. By realigning your posture, you’ll feel more upright, more open, and more confident.

It’s so common to see poor posture in seniors—but it doesn’t have to be that way. 🧓💪 With age, muscles weaken, joints stiffen, and years of sitting or inactivity can cause the body to round forward. But the good news? Posture isn’t permanent—it’s something we can improve with small, consistent daily efforts. When we don’t focus on our posture, it can lead to pain, stiffness, and even balance issues. But just a few simple exercises each day can realign the body, strengthen the muscles that support good posture, and help you move with confidence. Today, I’m showing you the three posture exercises my 89-year-old Bubbie does—right from a chair and with a pillow between her knees. If she can do it, so can you! 1️⃣ Elbow Squeezes (with interlaced fingers behind your head) – Interlace your fingers, place your hands behind your head, and gently pull your elbows back. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and open your chest. 2️⃣ Seated Twist – Keep the pillow between your knees and gently twist side to side, reaching across your body. 3️⃣ Seated Cat-Cow – Holding the pillow, gently arch your back and lift your chest, then round your spine and tuck your chin. It’s simple, gentle, and effective. Perfect for seniors or anyone just getting started. Always listen to your body—if something doesn’t feel right, stop immediately and adjust as needed.

It’s very common to see poor posture in seniors—but it doesn’t have to be that way. With age, muscles naturally weaken, joints get stiffer, and years of sitting or inactivity can cause the body to collapse forward. But here’s the good news: posture is not a fixed condition—it’s a result of daily habits. And that means it can be improved at any age. When we don’t address poor posture, it can lead to more pain, stiffness, balance issues, and even difficulty breathing. But by doing just a few gentle exercises a day, we can help realign the body, strengthen key muscles, and start moving with confidence again. Today, I’m showing you three simple exercises my 89-year-old Bubbie does right from a chair with a pillow between her knees: 1. Elbow Touches – 25 reps 2. Overhead Extension – Hold for 1 minute 3. Pillow Squeezes – 1 set of 60 reps Always use pain as your guide. If anything doesn’t feel right, stop immediately and listen to your body.

Why do so many seniors struggle with bad posture? As we age, our muscles naturally weaken, our movement patterns change, and years of habits start catching up with us. The result? Rounded shoulders, forward head posture, poor balance, and pain in the back, hips, and knees. But here’s the truth—it’s never too late to fix your posture. If you ignore it, the cycle continues: less movement, more stiffness, higher risk of falls, and even joint degeneration. But with just a few minutes a day, you can start reversing it. I took my grandma through 3 simple posture exercises from her daily routine that you can do too: 1. Static Back Pull-Overs – 25 reps to open up the shoulders and reset the spine. 2. Foot Circles – 20 each direction + 20 point-flexes to improve balance and prevent falls. 3. Pillow Squeezes – Great for reactivating inner thigh and pelvic stability muscles. It’s simple, gentle, and effective. Perfect for seniors or anyone just getting started. Get the full “SENIOR” routine—tap the link in my bio for the Posture Program!

Are uneven hips causing you low back pain, tightness, or discomfort? It might be time to focus on realigning your hips and pelvis. These 3 simple wall exercises can help you reset your hip alignment and get your body feeling balanced again: 1️⃣ Knees In & Out (25 reps): Feet on the wall, knees at 90°. Start by tapping your knees together, then let them fall outward. This movement helps restore internal and external rotation at the hip, improving mobility. 2️⃣ Supine Frog Pose: Bring the soles of your feet together and let your knees drop out. This opens up the groin, hips, and pelvis—key areas often affected by sitting or poor posture. 3️⃣ Single-Leg Cross (30 seconds each): Cross one ankle over the opposite knee. This action helps the femur properly seat back into the hip socket, improving stability and balance in the hips. Uneven hips can lead to muscle imbalances, poor posture, and even chronic pain if left unchecked. By realigning your hips, you can reduce strain on your back, improve mobility, and prevent long-term discomfort.

Is your low back pain caused by poor posture? 🤔 Here’s a simple test to find out and potentially relieve that pain: 1️⃣ Interlace your fingers, place your hands behind your head, and pull your elbows back. (This will improve the alignment of your upper body.) 2️⃣ Now, take a walk. Make sure you’re striking with your heel, ball, and toe with each step. Then, see if your back pain disappears! When your body is properly aligned, it can relieve pressure and discomfort in areas like the lower back. This simple test helps identify if poor posture is contributing to your pain. If your pain disappears after the test, it’s a strong sign that your posture might be the root cause. I highly recommend @vivobarefoot shoes for anyone struggling with back pain or posture issues.
