Your Posture Reflects Your Neurology

A slumped posture is a sign that you currently have diminished spinal 'proprioception', which means that your brain doesn't have an accurate understanding of where your spine is, or how to properly control it. A slumped posture is not the only thing that diminished spinal proprioception contributed to, it will also contribute to:

  • Diminished Self-Confidence
  • Increased Anxiety Scores
  • Lower Energy Levels
  • Increased Headache Frequency
  • Chronic Muscle Tension
  • Early Joint Deterioration in Spine
  • Increased Likelihood of Future Injury
  • Increased Negative Memory Recall
  • And more!

The Good News

You Can Change Your Neurology

The good news is that spinal proprioceptive training can help reverse the health ramifications of diminished spinal proprioception and change not only an unfortunate posture, but also your brain!

This 4 week online course provides you with the exercises, explanations & tools that will help you to:

  • Improve Self-Confidence
  • Increase Energy Levels
  • Reduce back pain
  • Enhance How Others Perceive You
  • Decrease Muscle Tension & Joint Degeneration
  • Improve Your Posture
  • Decrease Likelihood of Future InJury
  • Enhance Body Awareness

    Each week I'll be sharing new exercises that will help to increase your capacity for spinal proprioception, and help to build thousands of new neural connections between your brain and spine.

  • Group Support

    A group chat will be set up prior to the start of the course, so that everyone has the group support necessary to fully engage and connect with the work.

Enhance How You Perceive Yourself

Your posture affects every aspect of your life. It will affect your digestion, your breathing, your circulation, if you have a slumped posture you are more likely to experience chronic muscle tension and eventual joint degeneration. More than that, your posture will affect your mood and emotions. 

There is now a small mountain of research which has consistently shown that when test subjects are put into slumped postures they are more likely to experience decreased self-esteem, more negative moods (e.g. fear, hostility, nervousness) & decreased energy. Test subjects placed in upright postures reported experiencing more positive emotions, feelings of self-empowerment & self-confidence, decreased social fear and more productivity at work. 

This course will give you the tools and advice that you need to help change and maintain your posture for the better. This will affect not only how you appear, but how you perceive yourself.

Enhance How Others Perceive You

Presence Through Posture


Posture affects how people perceive you. Just as someone with good posture sends non-verbal signals of energy, confidence, and health, a person with poor body posture appears lacking in confidence, unenthusiastic or weak. This course provides you with the tools to naturally enhance your posture, and thereby enhance how others perceive you.


Why does my back hurt?

Low back pain has been the leading cause of years lived with disability since 1990, and remains a significant global health concern.

What causes it?

Well, let's take an example that I see everyday as a chiropractor - a person walks into my clinic with extreme low back pain & a probable disc injury, when asked about how it happened, they reply "I was just tying up my shoe and I felt a pop." 

Now there is no way that the simple act of tying up a shoe will cause a disc injury. The most likely cause of this injury is REPETITIVE MICRO-TRAUMA, due to the brain not having an accurate understanding of the affected area, and continuing to move it anyway. This will lead to adverse pressure on spinal structures, micro-trauma and eventually, injury!

Diminished spinal proprioception can create chronic muscle tension, decrease your ability to accurately perceive and move parts of your spine & will eventually lead to joint degeneration. This course provides the explanations, exercises & support to help reverse this process. It does this by enhancing spinal proprioception and creating new neural links between your brain and spine. The result? Decreased muscle tension, joint degeneration and decreased likelihood of future injury.

Dr. Ryan Henson (M. Chiro)

Chiropractor, Somatic Movement Educator & Therapist, Curious Individual


Hey there! My name is Ryan and I created, and will be guiding you through this 4 week online training. I am a nerd for healing. I have been reading articles on the importance of spinal proprioception on posture, pain, self-perception and how others perceive you for years. In all those years, I never found a rehabilitation program that I believe truly addressed the underlying issues at play in the most efficient ways possible.


Thus began my work of creating a spinal proprioceptive rehabilitation and neurology enhancing system that could be used by anyone. This is that system. This course is the by-product of my time spent helping thousands of people, from all walks of life.

    "I cannot recommend Awakening The Spine enough"

    As a BJJ practitioner, lower back pain has plagued me for a long time. Participating in Awakening The Spine played a vital role in relieving that pain through the various movement practices. Ryan's communication and dedication to his craft is impeccable so you're never left wondering if you're doing the movements right as he's more than willing to take the time to help you get each movement right, with a no-rush approach and prompt responses to questions. I cannot recommend the Awakening The Spine course enough whether you participate in a sport, have back issues or just want to improve your posture.

  • Ellen

    "This course was amazing"

    This course was amazing. It gave me simple but really effective exercises that actually made a difference to my back discomfort. I also really appreciate the theory snippets that Dr. Ryan provided, as it made me appreciate why I was doing what I was doing, and helped me embed it further. The fact that these are exercises that he uses with his patents, and that he was really patient taking the time to watch the videos of me trying them and giving helpful feedback, offered great value for money.
