BEFORE
The vertical line does not cut through the middle of the shoulder or hip joint, and the legs are therefore tilted forwards. His eyesight seems to look upward slightly. Shoulders are rolled forwards.
AFTER
The hips, and head have shifted further back (more of the head and legs are behind the line), and the knees, hips and shoulder are stacked on top of the heels more. His midsection also seems to be slimmer, and neck longer, seen in the increased distance from his ears to shoulders. There is an increase in expansive volume front his chest through to mid-back region front to back. Eyeline has leveled out, and is more parallel to the ground. His hands are further forward due to the fact that his shoulder has been shifted back.
Note 1: To be consistent, the line on the photos on the side is drawn up from the lateral malleolus (middle of the right ankle bone). We will always be describing observations from the client’s left and right, not which side they appear on the photo.
Note 2: These photos are a snapshot in time. It is difficult to show a 3D object, in a 2D photo. You will be unable to see the new movement possibilities of the models, hear how they felt differently, or how where they are feeling the change in their body if at all. Many thanks to the models shown for graciously allowing us to view and utilize their before and after photos.
