Ever thought Count Dracula could help with your upper body alignment?
Believe it or not, the notorious vampire might just hold the key!
What could this creepy, nocturnal villain with a thirst for blood possibly have to do with alignment?
It's not Dracula himself, but rather his most famous accessory—and no, it's not his vampire teeth (yikes!).
I’m talking about the collar of his cape.
The shape of his collar offers the perfect visual for supporting head, neck, shoulder, and ribcage alignment, especially for exercises that require bringing your hands behind your head.
Intrigued? Let me show you how it works!
In today’s video, you’ll learn how Dracula’s collar can help you:
- Find your head and neck alignment—particularly if you’re worried about forward head posture.
- Create more stability in your shoulders—especially if your shoulders ever feel pinched or have ever dislocated.
- Feel the alignment of your ribcage more easily while minimizing rib thrusting—a major blind spot when it comes to core strength and posture.
Once you get the hang of Dracula’s collar, you can easily infuse it into exercises you’re already doing or use it to reset your upper body whenever you need an alignment tune-up.
After you try it out, I'd love to hear about your experience! Share your thoughts by leaving a comment below.
