This post seems potentially interesting, but I think I am missing a hook on why I should care about the content of this post. Is there a particular reason to care about the alignment of my body? What benefits would I gain from it? Is there a relevance to rationality and the art of thinking?
Art of thinking? - If that means thinking about things, then this is something to think about… (and the sources of all the information needed are within easy reach.) Relevance to rationality? - As the start of a logical progression to explain my beliefs, then yes… This is the root that will develop several branches, but it needs time to grow.
I have multiple possible hooks, but they’re all jumping to my conclusions - “facts” first.
Why should your care about your alignment and balance (there’s a ding ding ding we have a winner for “bits that bother me” in my head). I believe you should, and that the alignment of the body (and a full range of movement) is important to health, but what ‘evidence’ do I have of that?
My personal opinion that balance and alignment sound good qualities.
My personal experience—but I’m just a random on the internet, so there’s little point to expanding on that, at least until the groundwork is laid.
Many physical disciplines go on about balance and alignment - a common phase in some circles - but I’ve little experience in such disciplines so can’t comment on that!
So nothing that should be convincing, but balance and alignment sound good don’t they? :)
I am hoping for feedback about what balance and alignment mean to others. I’m in my own little micro-bubble (a true believer) and would be interested in other perspectives.
Ultimately, this is a journey from ” fact” to “feeling”. My next post will expand on the muscular anatomy of balance and alignment, and include my thoughts on that anatomy. How to start to feel your alignment...
A rational explanation for so much pain that many people seem to have?
All the anatomy is in my first two posts. All that is required is the consideration of that anatomy. Find the muscles, feel for them working.
I’m hoping the demographic of LW means there’s enough fairly healthy subjects that are both logical and curious in their thinking to spend a little time thinking about how their own body works. The benefits are worth it!

My first hook: pains of an imbalanced body.
