5 STEPS TO IMPROVE YOUR POSTURE
Good posture is an ongoing fight against gravity. Gravity wants to pull you to the floor and your muscles have to counteract that to keep you upright. While your posture may have changed over the years, the good news is that there is a lot that you can do to improve your posture and reduce your pain: 1. Physical therapy – We are experts in evaluating posture and guiding you on the proper techniques to change your posture and reduce your pain. Call us if you are having frequent aches and pains. We can examine your posture and put you on the right road to a pain-free life.
2. Get up frequently – When working at a computer or sitting in front of a TV, get up at least every 30 minutes to walk around for at least one minute.
3. Proper computer setup – Make sure that your computer is at the proper height so the top 1/3rd of the screen is eye level and keyboard is low enough, at or below elbow height.
4. Sitting properly – Keep your feet on the floor, don’t cross your legs and keep a small gap between the back of your knees and the chair.
5. Exercise frequently – walking, running, stretching and strengthening are very important. Strengthen your back muscles to maintain a better posture.
