Braces and Supports

Anu Lawrence • February 7, 2025

 In this video we discuss why we want to move away from braces and supports toward empowering your body to do its own job, as much as possible. 

Many clients ask about braces, arch supports, and other tools they’ve been using to help their bodies feel better. While those supports can offer short-term relief, it’s important to think about what they represent.


If your body can't function without relying on something external, then it isn't truly functioning. Needing a brace or insole just to feel stable or get through your day often means your body is compensating for an underlying issue that hasn’t been addressed.


A functional body should be able to handle daily movement and activity without needing outside help. That doesn’t mean tools are bad , they can be helpful in the short term, but long-term reliance on them is a sign that something deeper needs attention. In posture therapy, we focus on helping your body regain that function from within. 


Instead of depending on outside support, we work to
restore balance and alignment so that your body becomes strong, capable, and self-supporting. The goal is for you to feel well, stable, and active using your own strength, not something artificial.

Pandiculation is the process of resetting muscle length and tension. Animals do it naturally after rest. A dog or cat will arch its spine, then round it. Here’s what happens: Arching activates the extensor muscles Rounding activates the flexor muscles. Activating one group and then the other helps each side release when not in use. This movement restores neutral balance in the spine. In posture therapy, working the opposing muscle group can help fix a muscle that is overactive or not firing when needed. This improves muscle coordination and reduces tension.
