Level 3 Prehab Workout

Congratulations on progressing to level 3 of the Functional Mobility Phase of the Healthy Posture System (Prehab Program).  Now that you know how to walk and pick objects off the floor without faulty loading in the neck and low back, let’s condition you to lift objects overhead and go up and down stairs without faulty loading.

Daily Workout

  Home Program:

  1. Perform this workout twice a day or as prescribed for 1 week.
  2. Watch the Level 4 Prehab workout before your next online coaching session if prescribed.  The password should be included in your week 2 wrap-up email.
  3. Don't forget your hourly mobility exercises to help you condition yourself to maintain healthy posture throughout the day.  Try and maintain neutral spine alignment for 15+ minutes every hour!
  4. Visit the Equipment Needed page and purchase the equipment and props required to start the Neutral Spine Conditioning Phase of the program.

Hourly Mobility Exercise

Perform the Assisted Chest Lift Exercise every day at 10:00 and 2:00 to restore your access neutral spine alignment.  Perform the Level 3 Hourly Mobility Exercise every other hour, then start that hour sitting upright without back support hinged forward on your sit bones with a wide base of support.

Visit the PostureTV dashboard to help you sit in a Chest Lift® posture.
