Victoria Beckham’s secret to a straighter new posture is a “miracle” method. The ex-Spice Girl reportedly turned to Alexander Technique, a discipline that centers on strengthening the body and its core muscles, for her new body stance.

According to the Daily Mail, after years of holding herself incorrectly in high heels, the 35-year-old designer/performer was given advice by friends to try the technique.

Friends told her that her poor posture has caused her bones to be improperly aligned; thus, her muscles, joints and ligaments were taking more stress than they should.

Practicing the Alexander Technique apparently helped her alleviate some of the foot pain brought by her foot bunions, helped her correct her posture, and reduce stress and tension.
