Milestones

Welcome the milestone page.  This page outlines the lifestyle modification and physical wellness milestones required to ensure safe progression through the Healthy Posture System™.  The key to long term injury prevention and management is breaking the faulty loading patterns that cause joint misalignments that cause pain.

Posture restoration is a critical first step.  How you sit and stand have the biggest impact on how your load your neck and low back.  If you have collapsed posture; stop strength training.  The mistake most physical therapy and fitness programs make is the start strengthening before neutral joint alignment has been restored. This strengthens the faulty loading patterns associated with collapsed posture.

The second mistake is they do not pair exercise progression with lifestyle modifications.  If you are strong enough to progress from kettlebell presses to swings; but you sitting posture and workstation have not been adjusted to accommodate more upright sitting posture.  You are likely going into your workout with collapsed posture and possibly joint misalignments.

This is why we do not provide next level workout content until we see visual evidence of key lifestyle and physical wellness milestones at each level of the Healthy Posture System™.  This can come during an online coaching session of through the use of our SafeProgress tool within the PostureIQ dashboard. Below is a breakdown of these milestones.
