EXERCISES TO HELP IMPROVE POSTURE
This handout includes a carefully selected series of exercises designed to improve posture by addressing breathing mechanics, spinal mobility, and postural strength. Rather than forcing yourself to “sit up straight,” these movements help build the endurance and control needed to support a more natural, sustainable alignment. When practiced consistently, they can reduce strain on the neck and back while helping you feel stronger and more upright throughout your day.

THE 360 RESET: IMPROVE POSTURE AND DECREASE PAIN BY LEARNING TO BREATHE THE RIGHT WAY!
Most people think they’re breathing correctly.
But shallow chest breathing can quietly contribute to neck tension, back pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, poor posture, anxiety, fatigue, and even balance issues.
The 360 Reset teaches you how to breathe the way your body was designed to — using your diaphragm to expand through your ribs, back, and abdomen.
Most people notice changes in their tension, pain, and ability to achieve a deeper breath just after a week of consistent practice!

A SIMPLE 10-MINUTE PLAN TO BUILD STAMINA + STABILITY
Getting outside more this spring is great — but here’s something many people don’t realize: endurance affects balance. When you’re tired, your form changes, your reaction time slows, and your risk of tripping or falling goes up. In this quick Short, I’m demonstrating a simple 5-movement routine to build:
Walking stamina (endurance)
Steadier legs + balance
Better tolerance for real-life terrain (curbs, slopes, trails, grass)
Try this routine before your walks or 3–4x/week and keep it consistent.
If you want the full breakdown (why endurance supports balance + joint health + fall prevention), read the blog here: https://www.dawnthomaspt.com/post/walking-and-hiking-endurance-for-spring-a-simple-10-minute-plan-to-build-stamina-stability
