Frontal Lobe Function

Improved brain function may allow the frontal lobe to reduce protective flexion patterns and support a more upright posture. Better frontal lobe activation is presented as helping the body balance stress and relaxation. The frontal lobe helps inhibit the stress response, internal rotation, and flexion. Rounded shoulders with palms turned partly or mostly backward are described as a sign of weakened or underactive frontal lobe function.
