Tim Driscoll is an expert teacher of spinal support and posture. When you learn with him how to use the muscles of the back to free up and support the spine, the benefits are: deeper breathing, better tone in the deep and low abs, elastic tone in the backs of the legs and butt, and release of tension in the upper back, neck, and shoulders. Tim’ s approach also specifically focuses on the feet and how better use of the foot is integral to connecting to the core, the spine, and all of the back body empowerment. Tim has created High Heel Healing and Power Posture advice segments which are available for free by visiting the website and signing up for Our Free and Fab Informative Guides.

Tim began Backbone and Wingspan with the belief that teaching people to connect to the backside of the body, which is unfamiliar, but which truly gives freedom to a facility of the movement of the spine, resonates not just in a release of tension and better muscle toning, and access to core strength, but to a deep sense of being in the of ease and empowerment of the backbone.
