I heard/read a suggestion that when skiing bumps, try to imagine there's a low ceiling above you so that you concentrate on keeping your body/knees bent so that the top of your head effectively is just missing scraping the imaginary ceiling.....the object was to get better body position/centre of gravity & fore/aft balance in bumps.
Has anyone tried anything like this or does this advice have hidden flaws?
My only comment is that PMTS concentrates on the feet and kinda works its way up the kinetic chain but it tends to stop at the shoulders.
I've read a bit about the Alexander Technique ( AT ) in respect to body positioning/posture and it concentrates on the head/neck and works its way down the kinetic chain but stops at about the hips.
By way of background, The AT also specifically uses the concept of scraping the TOP of your skull against an imaginary ceiling as you walk etc in order to correct posture.
Effectively to do this, you need to align your head so its parallel with the imaginary ceiling then you need to comfortably stretch your neck up a bit to just touch the ceiling which then causes the whole uppper body to suddenly align its posture into a straighter back.
I'm told AT is good for better posture as well as better breathing eg asthma.
In respect to skiing, proper skiing posture/ Upper -Lower Body Coordination ( ULBC) is important.
Any thoughts on all of this??
