Relieve Chronic Discomfort & Pain

 

Do you suffer from chronic back pain? What about stiff and distracting neck discomfort?

 

Does sitting trigger lower back issues? Perhaps repetitive actions at work or performing daily activities seem to give you trouble.

​

Are you confused about your posture?

​

We often take our back, and for that matter our body for granted until we have pain. And, our backs are vulnerable, as most chairs do not support proper posture. Along with stresses at home or work, driving, even a poor diet and a lack of time outdoors can lead to, or contribute to, imbalance and chronic pain issues.

 

How you sit, stand, move – even speak and breathe will impact your posture and the way you experience balance and ease in your body.

   Interview with Kristin Maxwell -
Is Posture the New SuperPower?



My 28 Day Posture Program has been developed over my 30 + years career as a teacher of the Alexander Technique.
​
I share what I have learned from two back injuries during my dance career to a healed state where my body feels restored and is thriving.

What you can expect

​​

  • Create an account at Thinkific, the "Purchase Course" button will take you to Thinkific

  • Pay for the program

  • You will have access to the modules

  • I suggest that you view one module each day for 28 days

  • You will come away with a "Building Block" for that day, to be incorporated into your day.

  • You will receive an affirmation for each day.

​

Each daily sequence taken on it’s own (or alone) may not seem so remarkable or special that this could have that much of an impact. However, When we stack them one on top of the others, there is an experience of escalation, as each day builds on the experience of the previous day, creating momentum, multiplying what has come before – creating results.

 

                     Revitalize the way you feel in your body, impacting your work, play and family time

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Do I have to do the 28 days in succession? What happens if I miss a day?

The most important thing is to stay in sequence. If you miss a day (or more), just pick up where you left off. Also, if you are getting a lot from one sequence, you can repeat it as many times as necessary. Again, just stay in sequence.

​

I understand that the Building Block Challenge is something that we need to work with during the day, is it complicated? What if I get really busy and forget?

The daily Building Block is at the heart of the course. The lecture of the day will lead organically into the Building Block Challenge. To get the most out of the program, it's important to have reminders of the daily challenge and I will give you a fun way to have reminders throughout the day.

​

What are the requirements to take the course? Do I need to purchase anything?

The most important requirement is for you to be open and feel motivated to learn something new and to create change. Once you have purchased the course, I recommend that you have a journal and some post-it or magnetic notes.

 

How is this different from other programs that say they relieve back pain?

There are many approaches to addressing posture improvement, chronic discomfort and pain. Most programs focus on exercise or yoga moves. The Brilliant Back Program is very different from other programs. My work revolves around building awareness that can be applied right away. As opposed to exercises, my program uses "subtle motions", "micro-movements" and directing your thinking to release holding patterns and re-educate the body into a more natural alignment.

​​

One benefit of the program is that the principles you learn will become life long skills! And these skills can become the underlying foundation as you perform any exercises or work-out routine.

​

Seated at your desk, driving long distances, hiking, playing an instrument or simply preparing a meal, you will be able to approach these activities with a new awareness, sense of balance and graceful posture!
