Why is Alignment Important?

If your car was pulling to one side, you would take it to your mechanic to fix the alignment, right?
Alignment of your bones is important if you want to look and feel strong and for your fast-twitch muscles (which is most of your muscles) to perform well and not get pinched. 
How do we align our bones?  Start with axial extension:  imagine a string that pulls the top of the back of your head straight up to the sky to pull your head back slightly and lengthen your spine. Then come in to learn how to align your shoulder blades and your lower back with your slow-twitch stability muscles. They are both a process, usually taking at least two visits and practising at home to master. If you are having any knee or hip pain, Amy can assess your stabilizing muscle in your hip.
