The Principals that will Transform your Posture
Repattern:
Returning to Divine Design
“I cannot believe the change in my body. It’s magical."
"This practice feels right, healthy, and my body is loving it"
"The transformation with repattern has been impressive."
"I’m amazed at the changes that are occurring."
I think we’ve been taught to see posture as something local... your neck, your shoulders, your upper back. But I have a hypothesis that posture is really an expression of how your entire connected web is organizing itself. That’s why working on one tight area rarely creates lasting change.
When your ribs learn to move differently, they’re not working in isolation. They’re communicating with your spine, your pelvis, your breath, and the rest of your fascial fabric. That’s why such a small daily practice can feel surprisingly profound over time.

You are a connected web, loves!

You spend about a third of your life sleeping... so your sleeping position is teaching your body something.
If you wake up feeling stiff in the same places every morning, get curious. It might not be your mattress. It might not even be that you “slept wrong.” Sometimes it’s simply that your body has spent years repeating the same pattern without another option.
The beautiful thing about fascia is that it’s always listening. Give it a better pattern often enough, and your body can start responding in ways that still amaze me.

If you’ve ever crossed your legs before a sneeze or laughed while secretly hoping for the best... this one’s for you.
Can we normalize talking about this?
So many women have been told leaking is just part of getting older or having babies. While there can be many reasons this happens, I’ve found that we often overlook how the whole body works together. One of the biggest concepts I teach is that a compressed rib cage can increase pressure on the pelvic floor. Instead of only focusing on tightening the pelvic floor, we can learn how to offload it at the root by changing the way the whole body organizes itself. That’s why I love helping people understand how the rib cage, breath, and fascial web all support one another.
Your body deserves curiosity, not shame.

Your dentist’s mouth guard is not a TMJ treatment, and I will die on this hill.
It protects your teeth. That’s real and worth doing. But it does not touch the reason you’re clenching, and I have a hypothesis that it can actually increase the grinding because your nervous system is now working against a new obstacle.
What blew my mind when I finally started understanding fascial patterning: clenching is often a breathing strategy. The front of the body collapses, the airway narrows, and the jaw grips to compensate. So telling someone to “manage stress” or quit coffee (F, by the way, I tried it, I was miserable, it changed nothing) is like telling someone with a broken leg to walk it off. You’re not talking to the pattern.
The pattern lives in the whole body, not the jaw. Comment REPATTERN to start understanding yours.

I was the person who clenched without realizing it. My traps (upper shoulders) were always working overtime, and I assumed I just needed more massage, more stretching, or another tool. None of it lasted because I was trying to quiet one part of my body while the rest of my fascial pattern stayed exactly the same.
We don’t realize how often we are holding our head. When the chin is dropped and tucked, the jaw compresses and everything tightens. For this to really heal you, you also need a curve in your low back (nothing in your body works in isolation).

Our quality of sleep changes the quality of our lives.
Instead of scrunching yourself up when you sleep, pull yourself long. If you imagine your airway like a fabric straw. You’re pulling it open and long so you can get better air all night! This can be life changer is you’re living with mild sleep apnea or teeth grinding!
The principals are this
- Pull your ribcage away form your pelvis
- Open belly and throat by a curve in your back and neck
- Small pillow
- Tongue to roof of mouth (it will fit better and want to stay there with these cues)
We are looking into mattress options and I’m thinking about making a guide for y’all. Would that be helpful? Tell me below!

For my jaw clenching loves, I need you to hear the part that actually matters.
Your jaw isn’t the problem. That’s the piece that took me way too long to understand. I chased my jaw pain for years with the exact thing we all get told to do, tuck the chin, flatten the neck, sit up “straight,” and it never worked because the tension was never local. The front of my body was tight and shut, the back was long and weak, and my jaw was just the loudest place that pattern showed up.
āØHere’s the reframe: a tucked chin doesn’t relax your jaw, it shortens it and shrinks your airway so you’re literally breathing worse all day. And let’s be honest, it doesn’t even look good. Tucking your chin compresses everything at the front of your throat, makes your jawline look smaller, and gives you a double chin. That’s not posture, that’s collapse. Your jaw can’t rest inside a body that’s braced.āØāØI have a hypothesis that most clenching isn’t a bite issue at all. It’s the whole front of you asking for space. Give the throat and belly room and the jaw finally stops holding on.āØāØComment REPATTERN to learn this in my signature class.āØāØLove y’all!
Dr. LilyāØāØ#tmjrelief #jawtension #neckpainrelief #bowspring
I seriously thought that achy knot between my shoulder blades was just mine to keep forever.
The “good posture” everyone teaches, squeezing your shoulder blades back and down, feels like it’s helping because your chest opens. But you’ve just signed your whole back up to be tight all day. That’s why the sore spot creeps up into your neck and never lets go. You’re bracing, not opening.
What changed everything for me was realizing my ribcage was collapsed, not my back being weak. When the front of you stays compressed, that pressure doesn’t disappear. It travels. I have a hypothesis that this is exactly why my jaw and even my pelvic floor stayed tight for years, all of it downstream of a caved-in chest I didn’t know I was holding.
You are one connected web, so when you fix the ribs and things you never linked to your posture start to soften.

Why do you think all basketball players have big bubble butts? Because they know how to untuck to become a spring.
You weren’t designed for
- Peeing yourself
- Painful sex
- Traumatic births
- Low back pain
- Hip pain
- Constant stiffness
- Inability to be athletic
But here we are, in a culture full of these issues š¤Æ
Learning to move from your thighs bones moving them back and wide (while squeezing the shins in) will REPATTERN your fascia sure, but what you’ll really love is the way it repatterns your life.
As a student said this week:
“When I walk I can feel my butt and hamstrings engaging and my body feels good. Before Repattern I had literally been unable to engage my butt intentionally and trying to do so caused me dreadful backpain, despite all the pilates, yoga and other things I tried.”

It’s not about being insecure. It’s about having humor around realizing and really seeing how you’re holding yourself.
Comment REPATTERN to see your body in a new light and start to reshape your fascia. I know my neck went from being rock hard with tight tender fascia around my collarbones, and now it lays flat, looks supple and feels soft. It’s never too late to change.
You can watch the reel from yesterday to see more details about expanding the ribs. Big thanks to @globalbowspring for the concept and visual.

Yes, rocks/ weights will be included sometimes! But know I spent months not moving weight so I could change how I was moving in the first place. My class REPATTERN walks you through how to do that.
And now, I feel supple and flexible without stretching and so strong and I can hike and hike.

The form cues underneath what is taught in “exercises” is the difference between someone that can do any workout without pain and get fit or someone who gets hurts doing anything. The difference between someone who can bag any peak without training and have little soreness or not be able to hike without pain. Or someone who excels at a sport they have never tried versus feeling uncoordinated and fragile.
Our bodies have a code of alignment that makes us strong and able. This code isn’t a list of exercises from your PT or trainer. It is the way you hold your ribs, the tone in your palms and soles, the way you use your core.
If you’re ready to learn how to use yourself, comment REPATTERN for my class.

Our butt is our powerhouse, our motor. When you aren’t able to use it because of the fascial patterning you’re holding, things start to hurt — knees, feet, hips and low back.
There’s no isolated exercises that will bring back your connection to your butt. It is deeper but also simpler than that. It’s about the connection to your taco foot and your thigh bone sitting back so you’re in what looks like an anterior pelvic tilt.
Comment REPATTERN and I’ll teach you how in my signature class that’s changing lives.
All my love,

Comment REPATTERN for the link to virtual class that teaches you the foundations of how your fascia is made to be. This work still blows my mind. I spent so much time stretching, doing release fascia work, massaging, and doing exercises that didn’t really work. Now, with the code of how the fabric fascia of the whole system should be lying — I have a whole new body… sounds dramatic but this is why I encourage people to take lots of pictures before they start my class. I honestly wish I took so many more of myself because the change is stark. All my love! Dr. Lily #foothealth #bunion #bunionrelief #bowspring
We are now in an air b and b where there’s only one comforter and all I want is to sleep on the floor again!!! It’s so weird how firm ground feels like it helps me heal instead of get tighter while sleeping… I know I would have never thought this could be real for me but now that my fascia is more balanced, I’m more like a cat that can sleep on a rock lol. Except for airplanes. I usually can sleep hard with my sheepskin but somehow always wake up with some weird kink. #goals #bowspring
People pay me a lot of money to show them this. Because we all need it more than we realize! I’m still getting better at keeping the fascia over my kidneys and my adrenals lifted. But this has transformed that part of my body which always felt tight.
This area is where your kidneys and adrenals live. I have a hypothesis that at least some of our “adrenal fatigue” is actually just so much fascial pressure on the adrenals that it distorts hormonal flow.
I know I feel and interact with stress so different now that my fascia is more balanced… your nervous system is inside your fascia!
If you want more detailed help, comment REPATTERN for my class. I have a free guide I wrote to understanding this concept that’s almost done, too. So stay tuned.

Have you guys felt your bum lift up yet? šš½šš½
I was always so confused by how to use my butt the right way when doing something like a squat. What you get told is to clench your butt at the top and that just never felt natural.
Turns out it isn’t. It just makes you a tight ass š
We think and teach that the glute only contracts with full hip extension, which when you look at the animals who are in deep hip flexion at all time, makes zero sense.
If you get the top of your thigh backwards, your glute can engage up to the rim of your pelvis instead of down to your sitz bone.
Isn’t it wild how my much my butt changes with just this action?!
Your taco feet play a role in this, too. Because we need to learn how to shorten the whole backside of our legs because the front is so tight it pulled it long. Which is why you struggle to feel your glutes in the first place.
Share with someone you know wants to grow their glutes for a healthy body!
Love y’all!
Dr. Lily

I seriously thought my traps (upper shoulders) would just never soften. Then I started doing bow and they would be soft when I laid down and I knew I was on the right track.
Then I learned this move from @desispringer and got my under shoulders to work. This made it so my traps actually can be soft. And you know what likes that? My neck and my jaw. The relief is indescribable.
If you want more of this, comment REVIVAL to sign up for my movement subscription waitlist or REPATTERN for my signature class that’s out for you to do at your own pace.
I know the internet is full of scammers who aren’t good at anything other than making content. This is the thing I’m the worst at 𤣠as someone wrote today:
“The value of the class is indescribable. I don’t know how to say this that you will hear it and not think I’m lying. But the value of compared to anything else on the internet, the gym, an osteopath, or pysio is immeasurable. This work is completely life changing. I went from feeling fragile to taking long hikes again. I got my life back.”

My original title for this was “cues that are fucking your posture” but I went a lil more PG for y’all. But that’s the truth. I know because I lived it, too.
I’m working on a dissertation explanation of all of these, so stay tuned (can you work on a dissertation not in a PHD program? I joke with my husband — when we are retired I’m gonna go get a PHD or three lol)!
Helping you understand how to hold yourself so you can feel good in your body, feels like the most important work of my life. Because there’s so much incorrect info out there shaping us into pain. As someone commented recently, “I’ve got trust issues from influencers.” I could agree more, sister. ME TOO.

I needed to stop adding weight and start shaping myself into the health I wanted. And turns out my glutes can fire waaaaay harder when my fascia allows it then when I simply load them more.

Your airway is a tube. If that tube is being collapsed by bunched up fascia, air can’t move through as easy. Then your body compensates — maybe with clenching, maybe with an open mouth, maybe with snoring.
Which kind of sleeper are you? And really, you’re gonna love around at night but having the option for length because of how you move during the day, is what is vitally important.
I rarely sleep with my arm under my head all night. I start there and then replace it with a tiny sweater and bring my arm in front of me (mostly because there’s always walls above beds lol).
I just had a client yesterday tell me that her watch is telling her she’s getting good rest for the first time ever, after 2 months in my course. It changed my life and I’d love to help you change yours š«¶š¼

Can we stop with the Diastasis recti protocols like hypopressives, core tightening and kegels? Every baby is born with DR and you’ll never see them doing anything like that to heal.

If you have prolapse, usually somewhere else is too tight all the time and pushing things out of place. Kegels will not fix that. Otherwise, your pelvic floor is already too tight.

I still sometimes clench! I’m a human! But it is 2% compared to when I could only eat smoothies because the jaw pain was so bad. Here’s the basics, you need the tongue on the roof of your mouth or else you can breathe through your nose. You can’t get your tongue to stay up there if your fascial system is unbalanced. Now your mouth breathing, but your tongue gets in the way because it can’t stay where it was meant to so now your clenching to try to create a more rigid and open airway for you know, air. This isn’t a quick fix, but it’s the only real one I’ve found and man it really helps the rest of your body and life, too. Love y’all #bowspring #tmjpain #tmjdisorder #jawtension #tmd

I don’t do this every single time. There’s no need to be perfect, but sometimes doing it this weird way can be really relieving to our necks (which are often tight from moving too much while the ribs don’t move enough). This is always so funny to watch someone learn. Teach a friend and try not to laugh at yourselves š if you ready to learn the details of healthy, mobile ribs, comment REPATTERN for the link to my class. #bowspring #neckhealth
Share this with a friend you know gets pain while driving! Open posture and a body that doesn’t hurt is partially about how you learn to hold yourself and partially about the spaces we let shape us. Car seats are one of my biggest pet peeves!! Since repatterning myself the mismatch between how I normally sit and how these seats force us to sit is honestly astounding. Comment REPATTERN to join the over 500 people already getting their posture transformed with my virtual class! I am so honored you all have invested your precious energy with me — it’s an honor.
Some ladies can just hit the progressive overload of weight and have it work (and I know y’all are gonna come at me if this was you š). For me, I needed to learn to use my hips differently. I couldn’t do this and lift any weight at first, but I would get more sore, more fatigued and look what came of it! Our muscles don’t care what the numbers are, it cares about 1) safety to recruit 2) amount of tone. I’m not doing yoga to get this, I’m engaging isometrically (but my muscle are in a lengthened position) really hard with really good alignment. #bowspring #glutegains #glutegrowth oh ya and I know this isn’t a huge ass, I don’t want that. I want to look like a tribal person with no pain in my back or pelvic floor. #glutegoals
It physically hurts me to see the reels that have tons of views about
— “tightening your core in this special way you never learned”
— “flattening your core”
— “proper core engagement” aka creating a shit ton of non functional tension at rest
— “strengthening your pelvic floor”
— “holding a blueberry in your vagina”
Here’s some general rules to know if you should try what the influencer tells you to do
1. Can you breathe while doing it? If the cue is to do something specific on your exhale with your core, how are you supposed to be able inhale? You have to be able to sustain whatever core control you have while carrying something and still getting oxygen… so…
2. Does it make your core come tighter into your spine? If so, you are displacing volume and that volume has to go somewhere. Either to your pelvic floor to the point where it can physically push the organs out of your body (I’m not kidding this is more common than you think) or crushes your digestive organs.
3. Can you have an open pelvic floor while doing it? If it makes you tuck your tail, that’s disarming the strongest spring in your body instantly.
4. Everyone has core muscles and if you don’t eat enough, you’ll see them real clearly. So don’t think that you need to follow everyone’s advice that has a nice looking core.
Eat breakfast and enroll in my class. The first module is all about understanding your core, pelvic floor and breath. Comment REPATTERN for the link.
Love y’all so much! Share this with a baddie mama you know! We need to change the normal ways women (&men) think they have to use their core, for the love of not peeing ourselves and living our best lives š«¶š¼š«¶š¼š«¶š¼

My hypermobile brothers and sisters, I know what it’s like to feel tight and unstable at the same time. Our bodies are craving the code for the stability that makes us feel more open.

I don’t wake up with teeth clenched anymore. I breathe through my nose all night (unless allergies which decrease with more sunlight exposure). My face is getting prettier and more balanced. This is the kind of fascial shifts you can expect with my virtual class. To feel like you can breathe easy and be at home in your body. Your body or nervous system won’t relax if it can’t easily get air. You’ll always be in fight or flight. Your airway isn’t just in your mouth or throat, it’s the tube supported by your entire fascial system. Even if you do decide to get the palate expansion or tongue tie release or even Botox/ filler, your body still needs to hold it. Comment REPATTERN if you’re ready. #bowspring #airwayhealth #tmjtreatment
Why your low back hurts. Many people say, “Bowspring hurt my low back.” It’s means you’re making the curve by contracting your low back muscles. So you have to let go of the way it looks and learn to move your hips back and keep your ribs expanded. It looks similar but it a whole different thing! Getting to the end of the batch of reels I made, tell me below what you guys want to learn about next! And as always, when you’re ready to learn all these details for real (not from a reel lol) COMMENT REPATTERN for the link to my class š«¶š¼
I get more fatigued and muscle burn than squatting 145 pounds… this is learning how to create tensegrity where all your muscles are synergistically working around your joints and engaging long. This runs literal bioelectric current through your stuck fascia and unbinds it. You can see me here running so much current I am vibrating. Afterwards, you feel bouncy and vibrant and emotionally regulated. It’s how we were made to be. Join me in learning the basics so I can take you to the open, supple human you were made to be. COMMENT REPATTERN to learn. #bowspring
Ya I know it could still be bigger and if you’re looking for that huge ass I’m not your girl at this time but mad respect go get it sister! Hit up @bretcontreras1
I tried all the traditional glute bridges, banded monster walks, heavy weight lifting
And it helped a little forsure
But it would tighten my pelvic floor at the same time
Or make my back hurt
I needed healing of the foundational way I used my hips, core and pelvis… and putting a bigger engine in or doing fancy moves or loading more weight wasn’t helping
Some of us move perfect naturally, so we can just load more to grow muscle
For me, I needed to REPATTERN how to recruit my glutes before I loaded them
Otherwise I was just going to think living with chronic hip and pelvic floor pain was normal
If you’re like me comment REPATTERN and I’ll show you how, step by step in my virtual class
Hint it comes from your connection to your taco foot!
Also for the record, science is learning that your muscles don’t only grow in response to heavier loads but any high tension movement (Bowspring is eccentric muscle engagement against yourself on all sides of your joints, I’ll post a video of how hard I shake with contraction soon so you guys can see this isn’t fucking yoga) or changes in blood flow, can have massive muscle growing effects. Let alone that this type of repatterning work increases the neural connection to muscles so they are denser, more metabolically active and stronger for their size (think people who do martial arts & gymnasts).
Second for the record, I get real frustrated with people telling me I should hide my butt to be more professional. It is vitally important that we stop thinking human bodies are something that should be hidden. I don’t trust a doctor that won’t show me their butt to prove they walk their talk. And the world is overly sexualized because we hide bodies so when we see them, they seem sexual. It’s just a body! And I want to be apart of showing healthy, supple & natural bodies to the world. We need it! This is my professional stance!!

When I watch this I’m like it looks almost exactly the same! But that’s the point. Our fitness and health advice focuses on what it looks like, but my loves, you can make a shape in so many different ways. This is the deal with us being told anterior pelvic tilts are bad for us. If you do it badly, they are. But why would something that is natural for most people, babies and most animals be the wrong thing? I would not have believed me until I started to feel it. But now I see the anatomy in a new way — ie the shape of our spine is wedged and our hip socket is neutral when there’s a so called anterior pelvic tilt (my class explains that in detail and if you scroll back far enough there’s reel for it too). So now My back doesn’t hurt anymore. Not because I flattened it out but because I learned how the curves are made to be supported to be springy and healthy.

Forgive my under boob y’all, I have a human body. I struggled with jaw tension to the point where I couldn’t eat solid food. My neck used to be tight as a rock all the time. I’m so sorry if you’re living like that and I can help you. Comment REPATTERN for the link to my class. J know we are sick of online classes but this is seriously the best place to start, no matter what ails you. These principals are living saving because it’s how you were designed to be. See you there. Dr. Lily #bowspring #tmjtreatment #tmjdisorder #jawpain #neckpainrelief
I specialize in pelvic floor disorders because I went to every PT, tried every modality and still had chronic pain and sex hurt — I knew I had to figure it out and help other women.
After years of helping my patients I made my class with the principals that work to teach you how your whole core system was designed to work. No it isn’t kegels. No it isn’t hypopressives.
Start with my class and book a 1:1 with me virtually. It will change your pelvic floor and therefore your life. Sounds dramatic but your pelvic floor is the physical power, sexual, and emotional center of our bodies.
Love y’all so!
Dr. Lily

I just flew halfway around the world to South Africa & here’s some of my favorite moves to help my body feel good and fluid and strong along the way. As always it isn’t about the shapes you’re making, it is about how you’re doing it. This is what is life changing about what I share. Save this video for the next time you travel or even halfway through a long day of work. And if you need to know more of the details of how to heal yourself, comment REPATTERN for the link to my class. Love y’all and been loving Cape Town working on a very special project #bowspring #fasciahealth
Desi is way more than a bodyworker. She’s my mentor and friend and was curious enough to see movement in a new way to co create Bowspring. In her own words “I didn’t invent anything, I just uncovered nature’s way.”
When this code is respected, bodywork isn’t done to you it’s done with you creating the tone your body is asking for. It isn’t tight or hurting because it is dumb, it’s tight because the positions you spend time in require it to be. When you get out of those positions and create gentle muscular alignment and tone there, instead of having to torture yourself better, you open yourself better.
Don’t get me wrong, unwinding still hurts sometimes but it’s completely bliss to be repatterning the root of why it was tight in the first place instead of just bandaging it or softening it temporarily. Important to note that any kind of bodywork requires you to be taking good care of your body battery via sunshine, the ground and electrolytes/ minerals. It’s creating a window that you have to have the energy to keep open, or it can make you reflexively close more.
These principals have completely shifted the way I care for my patients and every section of my virtual class has self fascial release practices and how to create tone so they last (that you can also do to your fam and ask if they’ll do to you, start a trend š). Comment REPATTERN & I’ll send you the link.
Thank you for having me at your beautiful property, sharing nature’s code and helping me open š«¶š¼š«¶š¼š«¶š¼
I haven’t had the pleasure of being a mama yet, but my work has always centered around them. Because really, the world is centered around them. The lifelines of our families, the trend setters of our communities, the holders of what we all really need — motherly love. What I get to help mamas with most often is getting more springy so the load of being a lifeline doesn’t make them smaller but shine brighter. I get asked this all the time and yes, my class is made for moms of all stages. Because these principals apply to all bodies but are even more necessary if you want to make life, birth life and care for it in a way that nourishes all, more. When we are open, our families can open. Comment REPATTERN to learn how. Happy Mother’s Day y’all! #bowspring
I am the biggest fan girl of @thealisonarmstrong š«¶š¼ I know me opening my posture made me more ready, but she has made the biggest difference in the health and happiness I feel in my marriage, my femininity, and the way I approach my life. Take some time to listen to her and it resonates, join me in her Wueen’s code book club. Y’all can see I don’t promote anything on my page ya? That’s not caused I don’t get asked, it’s because I refuse to share anything I don’t back 110% and why my own clothes, electrolytes are in the pipeline! My only products are Alison’s relationship advice & the cream my husband made that is literally the only thing so good on the market @catalystcream .

I tried it all. Perfect form strength training, Chiro, PT, massage, dry needling, Pilates, yoga, fascial release, cranial release, internal jaw release…. I could go on. But my neck was still tight as shit and I clenched my teeth every night. Because it wasn’t about things I needed to be done to me, or new exercises, it was about the way I was holding myself. Comment REPATTERN and I’ll show you step by step how to do it for yourself. It’s not only neck changing, but historically addresses your hips, low back and shoulders, too. Because your body is a system not an idiot. Love y’all, Dr. Lily #bowspring #neckhealth #tmjtreatment #tmjrelief

My loves, the way we were taught to use our core isn’t serving us. We need the canister of our entire core system (Ribcage to pelvic floor) to have balanced tone and expansion, just like how a can full of coke can take a beating before it explodes, or how a piston works. If you are dealing with diastasis recti, pelvic floor issues, hip or low back pain, or you want to birth a baby vaginally or simply live with without wearing out your spine, you need to learn this. I’ve changed thousands of people’s life with this info & there’s many more because I didn’t make this up. This was learned by watching babies and nature do it, not your Pilates teacher. Comment REPATTERN for my class that spends the entire first module on breathing, bracing & core repatterning. Your nervous system, your digestive system, your fascia is asking you for this. All my love, Dr. Lily #bowspring #dnsrehabilitation #corehealth #pelvicfloortherapy
I am consistently amazed by how many people report less bloating and better digestion from my class, without changing their diet. I’m not saying all the possible digestive issues are going to be healed. What I am saying is that your organs do mechanical movement as part of digestion and if they are adhered down and surrounded by tight fascia, they don’t work as well. Learn how to balance the strength of your core and Ribcage and amazing shit happens (literally š). “In awe that so many years of bloating can simply have been something with my breathing/mechanics.

I get asked this question ALL THE TIME. Yes your flared ribs are showing you your posture could use some help. No you shouldn’t try to tighten your core to get them to come down. I can fix people’s flared ribs in minutes with understanding how the back ribs need to expand to bring balance. Which had systematic effects on low back, shoulder and neck pain, because your ribs are made to suspend the rest of your tissues. Try it right now and tell me how it feels below!! Comment CHALLENGE for a free video on the basics & REPATTERN if you want to truly learn the details of how to heal your fascial system & posture. We are back home in Hawaii for a a bit before off to South Africa for the summer! Wish me luck in seeing patients, moving our practice and packing up our house. Thanks for being here, love y’all dearly! Dr. Lily #posturefix #posturesupport
Open posture isn’t what we think it is. It isn’t squeezing the back tighter. It’s expanding ourselves and balancing the tone of ourselves. Comment CHALLENGE and you’ll get a free video on these basics broken down.
Comment REPATTERN for my full class link. From someone in the class —
“After like a month, my posture changed for better, shoulders felt lighter and I realigned a rib just with the exercises.”
#posturematters #posturecorrector
If you’re ready to learn how, comment REPATTERN to enroll in my class. The foundation of how I did it after years of “nervous system healing” work. When I say current, all I mean is the minerals that get moved to create action potentials. How many of you have tried my moves and couldn’t do it at first? That’s being unable to run the current because you’re bound down and haven’t practiced! When you can move more current, your capacity for healing expands, too. All my love, Dr. Lily #bowspring #nervoussystemhealth #nervoussystemcare #nervoussystemreset
Comment REPATTERN If you find yourself stretching your back over and over again, without lasting relief. Stretching releases feel good chemicals, even if it isn’t actually healing you. Low back pain doesn’t mean you should flatten out or stretch your spine into flexion! It means either your ribs are collapsed or your hips are sucked forward. Here I am repatterning my low back fascia with this move I learned recently from the ever genius @desispringer ! #bowspring #lowbackpainrelief #lowbackpainexercises #lowbackpainprevention #fascialrelease
Comment REPATTERN to get your fascia flowing current enough to connect with mama earth. If we are insulated, she’s calling us but it’s going to voicemail. The spiritual foundation of what I do, Bowspring, is all about this. Taking accountability for yourself and your ability to connect to life, nature, the divine. Okay in the shore break, loves. Tell me below how you’ve connected with her lately and maybe we can get nature to go viral instead of people coming at me because they don’t realize form matters more than load 𤣠#bowspring
Comment CHALLENGE for my free YouTube video where you can learn the beginning and REPATTERN for my class that gives you the details. Your pelvic floor is asking for your support, are you willing to listen? Love, Dr. Lily #bowspring #pelvicfloorhealth #pelvicfloorexercise #pelvicfloortherapy #kegelexercises
Comment REPATTERN if you want to learn the details of how to move in all shapes to support your joints, airway, vitality & fascia! Some people really come at me in the comments and I just want to say, I can’t say everything in a couple minutes so please explore my free YouTube challenge (comment CHALLENGE for that) and some of my other work before. This stuff isn’t simple and details out of context seem really wild. But this isn’t some trend or uneducated confusion, this is coming back to the fundamental principals of the nature we were made for. Love y’all so! Dr. Lily #bowspring
The animals know… it’s familiar to spend your mornings inside but is in not way natural. When someone is struggling to open their fascia, to heal their metabolism, to transform their life — I ask two things first. 1) are you seeing the dawn? 2) how much water & electrolytes are you feeding yourself? Our bodies can survive a lot. But if you want it to thrive, these are non negotiables because they charge the battery that is you. No joke. Try seeing the sunrise one day this week and tell me what you felt! When I first started making this a priority — all I could hear before the sun first peaked its light was “God is the dawn.” COMMENT REPATTERN for my class that focuses on basic circadian health paired with fascial springiness to become who you know you are made to be. Love, Dr. Lily (who is so jet lag and needs this advice this week!)
I tried growing my glutes in the gym for years before I realized this… it’s about how you use your feet to legs to hips NOT what exercise you are doing. I know, wild. When people ask me to prove that this gait is more efficient, my answer is, it’s not, that’s the point! You use more muscles and protect your joints (much needed for my hypermobile brothers and sisters). This is the most aggregated form on the walking, I do all versions. My class goes deep into that. Much love, Dr. Lily #bowspring thanks for my amazing husband for filming me in the rain! @watermen.doc
Comment REPATTERN if your shoulders, neck and jaw need to relearn how to be. You can also comment CHALLENGE for the link to my 39 min YouTube video on the basics of this. You don’t want the shoulders “relaxed down” — you want the ribs expanded so the shoulders float. The further down they go, the tighter and more dysfunctional you’ll feel. This is your spring glow up. Love y’all, Dr. Lily #bowspring #shoulderhealth #posturecorrector PS going to add some of my fashion tips/ where my outfits come from in my subscription — would love to see you there š«¶š¼
“Rib flare” doesn’t mean you need to tighten your core more! It means your back ribs are closed and your back probably hurts because of it. This is still something I’m opening up in my own body so don’t be too hard on me, but I had the tightest mid back and this was the key to healing it!
I see influencers telling us we need to “knit” those ribs down and in for your diaphragm to work right. Just no!!! If there’s a ton of tension around your diaphragm because your sucking you core back, that inhibits your diaphragm from working (because think about it — it has no where to expand into!)
Share this with a friend you know could use it because I need your help transforming the way we hold our bodies! You don’t need to be tighter brothers and sisters, I promise.

We should look to our babies and toddlers as how to heal our diastasis recti! They are already doing it, innately. I had someone sweetly ask this in the Repattern class community and I realized, THIS IS THE INFORMATION MAMAS NEED.
I haven had my babies yet, so this is my doctor level opinion as someone who has helped hundreds of women through this and studied, read and taken hundreds of hours of continuing ed. You aren’t going to heal yourself by trying to tighten yourself and make yourself smaller.
As someone reflected in response, “Bowspring has healed my DR in a more holistic way than any of the physical therapy I tried for years and made my 5th birth easier.”

Your anterior pelvic tilt being what’s giving you pain, is not correct. I wouldn’t have believed me, until I felt it, either. The logic we’ve been sold about “neutral” posture for our low backs is based on treating the body like it’s a building. We are not a building, we are mostly water which means we don’t need to stack as long as we have expansion in the right areas. I say this is like mammals and everyone comes at me like “no but we walk upright.” Yes we do. And we still aren’t the building biomechanists think we are. I’ve healed so much back pain this way, can yall just try it for me? I know it not what you’ve paid a lot of money to learn. Keep your ribs expanded and let the curve come from your hips going back. You’ll get a butt and feel like a spring. I have no science on this, they aren’t doing science on this yet. Because you have to have a concept to test in science, it isn’t “truth” it’s inquiry. This is just beginning to be recognized!! Clearly the way we’ve been coaching low backs positioning clearly isn’t working great. Maybe I’ll get to do some science on it someday. But until then, COMMENT REPATTERN if you want me to teach you how to heal your back and grow a butt. Love y’all. Surfed my brains out today and my back feels amazing!! Dr. Lily #bowspring
Comment below and tell me which side of your ribs is harder to expand šš½šš½ I have had such a heart time expanding the right side of my ribs cage — turns out there a very good reason why. The magnetic field of the heart is completely different and more spread out over there. Curious if you guys feel the same? If you don’t know what I’m talking about with ribcage expansion COMMENT CHALLENGE and it’ll send you a free YouTube video I made with the basics. As someone in my class community noted recently, it’s like imagining yourself as a puffer fish. You can adjust your own displaced ribs this way (hence why I rarely adjust people or need to see them in person anymore). Had a lot of fun going down this wormhole & I hope it helps you put more of the pieces of your own body together. All my love, Dr. Lily #bowspring #ribcage #magnetism #heartanatomy #heartopener
Your core isn’t meant to be clenched down and back. I know you’ve been taught that “protects your spine.” It doesn’t. It puts pressure on your pelvic floor, is hard on your digestion and decreases lymph flow. If you want to learn the whole way you repattern you core to heal yourself, COMMENT REPATTERN for the link to my class. And yes, I still have a sexy looking belly which doesn’t come from sucking it back chronically. That comes from fascia health & nutrition (we are going to make a course about so stay tuned for that in the coming months). #bowspring #corestrengthening #corework #digestivesupport #pelvicfloormuscles
6. Stay hydrated and on top of my salt/ electrolyte intake. I’m talking 100 oz of water per day, lmnt packs and many scoops of Ultima. The first thing I did when I get back to our boat after this happened was open another electrolyte pack for my water. And you know what? I never got a headache, and I had a head injury!!!
We are actually working on our own electrolyte formula because we know we can make something better than what is out there. Yes we go on our honeymoon and work most of the time š«£ We love our jobs.

Ps is this song okay because this happened from a surf board and not Chris Brown? AI suggested it… it fits but maybe is a little too real? PSS catalyst cream only around eye socket not in open wounds!
Just saved you a couple thousand dollars of pelvic floor PT…
I get real irritated when the gurus make it sound like a wand will heal your pelvic floor… mostly because I tried and and had lots of patients try it as this is THE STANDARD OF CARE for pelvic floor issues and it did not fix any of us…. Mic drop.

I am totally okay, thank God. I was waiting for a bigger wave, dropped into it, went over the falls and hit my face on my board. Really thankful for the way God designed my eye socket to protect me. But in all seriousness, if I would have had a super tight neck & upper back, the way I did for most of my life, a fall like this would have given me whiplash and fucked me up. I honestly have very little pain, my neck feels great and went sailing for the rest of the day. It’s healing so fast. It reminds me that I don’t do and share this work for the days that are good, we do it for the bad days. The ones where life teaches us a lesson or brings us to our knees. Because when you can be steady and springy even in a storm, that’s true health. Anyone can be healthy in some perfect bullshit curated Instagram life.

Okay so I know all y’all who have studied biomechanics or kinesiology or Pilates or whatever kind of “optimal”fitness you believe in, are going to come at me, and I get it, I would have too a few years ago. This is not what the standard model brain washes every Chiro (me), PT, trainer, Pilates teacher, yoga teacher, medical doc ect to think is correct. It’s like a bad game of telephone that we are all reinforcing. I believed it and tried to flatten myself into a better feeling body for years and years. I taught it in yoga classes for 10 years. Then I decided I needed to know more and got it reinforced in Chiro school and taught it to all my patients š«£ LET ME SAVE YOU SOME BACK ACHES — IT DOESN’T FUCKING WORK. I’m being a bit dramatic because it is actually can be relieving at first, that’s why it gets spread and repeated. But that isn’t because it is ideal, it’s just a different load to whatever’s painful so that feels better temporarily. You didn’t fix the root of it, you just flattened yourself. I got to a point where I was doing all the “stacking” perfectly and it didn’t work (not being dramatic here I am obsessive and flew all over the country to seminars on this stuff). I knew that I could feel optimal. I’m talking springy, sexy, toned but not stiff, strong but not tight. And I am getting it now. FROM UNTUCKING, repatterning my fascia and embraces my curves.

Your airway is a tube, like a straw, in your body from your mouth to your butt. If you pinch and collapse that straw with poor posture, you can’t breathe as well. So many doctors want to make this sound like rocket science… it’s not. I’m not saying this will fix all your airway issues but you may as well try before you expand your palate, break your face, get a CPAP, get treatment for jaw pain or clenching (often times tho is happening because your body is trying to keep the airway open!!!). Our bodies aren’t stupid or designed so bad that they can’t even breathe us anymore… it’s the way we use them! Our fascia has memory and the more you shape it closed, the smaller the airway, the tighter the neck, the shittier your sleep. My class was designed to take you step by step through how to heal your fascia so your airway wants to stay open when you sleep.

The weird things my husband @watermen.doc looks over to see me doing… 𤣠the first day I did this there was no camera involved. It was pure instinct because my neck always aches when I’m shelling from looking down and I was inspired by the way the animals do it. Turns out it’s actually a fucking hard workout and you can see the shells better. I also got to notice all the hermit crabs scurrying around and other little details I usually miss.

I used to be obsessed with barefoot shoes being what everyone needed. There’s parts of barefoot shoes that are mandatory for me, like no arch support and a toe box that’s the shape of a foot so I don’t give myself bunions. But it turns out chaging your shoe doesn’t actually make your foot stronger unless you make your foot stronger. Revolutionary I know š and actually, barefoot but really any style shoe can make your issues worse because we are thinking about shoes like they’re one of those “magic” pills we get from the doctor. We need to remember that God didn’t make us stupid, we need to get back into natural alignment and strength and then we can wear whatever shoes we want (in moderation and I still choose to just be literally barefoot 99% of my life). The only thing EVERYONE needs is to learn how to use their feet (and their knees and hips for that matter). But it’s harder to sell someone a product for that. I know I’m not completely above this, as I’m selling you my class. But the way I think about it is I’m hoping to teach you the fundamentals so you can move and understand how to make the decisions for your health and longevity without me! COMMENT REPATTERN to learn how. Someone in my class commented this morning, “I CANNOT BELIEVE THE CHANGE IN MY BODY. My overall tone is completely changed.

It’s my human body yall, watch out. But seriously, I am an expert is nervous system healing. That is my Chiropractic specialty. I’ve traveled all over the country, done hundreds of hours of training, gotten a lot of nervous system care and here’s the deal. It’s incredibly helpful as a window, but until you learn how to run a different current physically through you, you’ll fall back into the same patterns. Not because you’re weak. Not because you’re broken. Simply because your biology remembers. You can’t feel peace if your fascia can’t hold peace. If you want to learn how to move different current through you, you have to repattern it. Comment repattern for more info on my class and how to learn.

We love big butts across all cultures because it’s the mathematical balance of the design of our human bodies sure, but really it’s how all mammals were made. Not teaching young women how to actually accomplish it naturally, is the harmful part. This isn’t about more hip thrusts or squats sisters and brothers — it’s about how your foot engagement connects into your glutes. This is a revolution. Never again do you do the prescribed amount of reps of an exercise and think you’ll get the springy, healthy body you’re after. Because it isn’t about what you do, it’s how you do it. That’s why PT works for some people and not others.

Once your fascial memory has it, then pick another cue! My class has full on application sections where I just teach you how to apply this stuff to your life. Because if you can’t apply it, what’s the point?
Comment REPATTERN if you want in. I wanted to make it super affordable for the first batch of folks, but the price is going up on April 1st!
Much love,

I believed these cues like the truth, too. I’m not trying to put shade on anyone. I’m trying to inspire you all to realize that thinking that we need to “stack” ourselves is holding back our true God given fascial potential. So tho whole stacking idea comes from biomechanists who seem to think the body functions like a building or a machine (I don’t blame them, that’s all humans can really even comprehend the natural world is too magnificent). In a building, the straight lines need to be lined up or else you create instability that can damage parts over time. WE ARE NOT A BUILDING. If we just stack our joints, our joints then bear the load leading to arthritis, degenerative disc disease (same thing as arthritis they just want to scare you), labral tears, meniscus injuries and disc herniations (all the soft stuff between the bones). When we allow the curves into our body, with tone on all sides of our joint we create what’s called tensegrity. This is where we turn our fascia into a fucking strong spring, in every plane. The curve in your low back, your pelvic alignment, how your ribs sit cannot be fixed by trying to tighten it into a more stacked position. You have to learn how to expand yourself into symmetry and springiness. Last thing I need to say, the lines they have draw and convinced all the doctors, fitness instructors and the rest of us, is “neutral” are straight lines along the pelvic floor and the diaphragm. These are curved structures!! So where you decide to draw the straight line is not because it’s actually there, it’s because you decided it was. And I get it, this is how we understand the world. It’s like a derivative in calculus. Big scary sounding but really it is just the slope of the line. It’s hard for us to wrap our minds around curves. So we consolidate them into straight lines. That’s doesn’t mean it’s the way you were designed to move as a mammal though. If you want to learn the steps of how to do this in your body, because just relaxing into your curves is NOT what I am saying to do, COMMENT REPATTERN to learn about my virtual class. It’s the cheapest it will ever be right now until April 1.Love y’all, Dr. Lily #bowspring #naturefitness
