How Bad Posture Affects You

Health Tips

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.

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 desk chair and computer are at the proper height. Having a proper ergonomic set-up is key to maintaining proper posture at work and at home.

4. SITTING PROPERLY – Sitting upright with your feet on the floor (don’t cross your legs) keep a small gap between the back of your knees and the chair.

5. EXERCISE FREQUENTLY –Walking, running, stretching, and strengthening certain muscles are very important. Strengthen your back and neck muscles to maintain a better posture.
