There is a growing trend in the movement world these days. We are all trying to get back to original positions that can help to regain good posture and help us to move better. In Anna Hartman, ATC and Craig Liebenson, DC's article Rest, resiliency and retuning the body, they encourage us to reconnect with our senses by spending time on the floor and barefoot to help re-awaken the sensory system. There are some easy to learn postures with guidelines for repetitions and technique.
Perry Nickelston, DC has been doing a series of videos called Mulitcultural Posture that will help improve mobility and sensory awareness as well. I recommend checking out the entire series and finding where you might need some more time spent.
As all the authors state, these prolonged positions are to be done to your personal tolerance. They may be uncomfortable, but they should not cause pain. If it does create pain, seek a health professional who is a movement specialist for further evaluation.
As a side note....I am currently available for consults and movement assessments in Massachusetts. You may reach me at Laura@MoveBetterLLC.com and stay tuned for my website soon to be release MoveBetterLLC.com
