Jeff
Rosenblum grew up playing several sports, but baseball was his primary focus. Throughout his college years, while earning
a Bachelor of Science degree from Syracuse University, he ran baseball summer camps and winter clinics for kids, with a specific
emphasis on fitness and conditioning.
In 2002, Jeff followed his passion for health and fitness by becoming a Personal Training
Director for a national fitness and nutrition solutions company. He won the company's "Commitment to Excellence"
award that year.
Jeff became an ACE (American Council
on Exercise) certified personal trainer in 2005 and grew fascinated with exercise as it relates to posture
and its effect on the human body. He found that most resistance training programs concentrated too heavily on building
"mirror muscles" such as the chest and front of shoulders. These are muscles in the front of the
body that are seen in the mirror and that get worked throughout the day during any forward motion such as driving,
eating, and using the computer.
As a result, these muscles tend to become overworked, short, and tight while opposing

postural muscles in the mid-back
and back-of-shoulders areas tend to become underworked, overstretched, and weak. This creates a muscle
imbalance that contributes to poor posture and often leads to injury and pain usually in the back, shoulders, and neck.
In order to counteract this muscle
imbalance, improve posture, and help avoid injury and pain, “mirror muscles” should be stretched more often and
postural muscles should be strengthened more often. Ultimately, this will lead to less physical dysfunction
and greater overall health.
Jeff kept studying and training while completing numerous
continuing education courses on posture analysis and post rehab. He became an expert at assessing posture,
detecting muscle imbalances, and developing exercise programs to correct these muscle imbalances and stabilize the body -
specifically the core musculature (abdominals, obliques, hamstrings, and gluteals) and the spinal column consisting of the
lumbar (lower back), thoracic (mid and upper back), and cervical (neck) areas.
He formed Posture Plus Fitness to share his knowledge and help people look and feel
their absolute best by minimizing their pain and maximizing their function through a safe and effective exercise program and
a healthy and fit lifestyle.
