While you’re reading this lets do a very simple exercise. Think of the funniest thing that’s ever happened to you, now think of a very sad moment or story that you have heard. Now, while you were doing that several things happened in your body, firstly when you were happy your brain has an automatic response to send signals certain muscles in our body to contract resulting in a smile and laugh J . However the sad moment also triggered a similar response, a frown, a slouch and slouched shoulders L . Posture can have a similar effect on your emotions, forward head carriage, rounded shoulders and a stooped posture is the posture of someone sad. The reason you may be feeling stressed or overworked is because your posture is sending a continuous ‘I’m depressed’ message to your brain and nervous system. By correcting your posture and making you stand straight the message changes to ‘all’s well and I’m in control’ which can have a huge impact on your stress levels and emotional states.

Adam and his team understand that when we feel under stress, our body changes in many different ways, our heartbeat, our breathing and our blood pressure all increase putting a greater demand on our bodies.
