Straighten Up Your Posture

Posted by on Jun 25, 2014 in General Wellness Tips

Great article in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal on how your alignment affects how you feel and how you function. Stand upright keeping your ears over your shoulders and shoulders over your hips/pelvis. This is especially important while texting in standing. Also keep upright when sitting at the computer. Hunching forward causes tightness in the chest muscles, rounds the shoulders forward, and puts abnormal strain on the neck and low back. And while driving try to use a lumbar support roll behind your back or wedge pillow under your bottom to maintain better posture in a bucket seat! Poor posture can be caused by weak core muscles or obesity so exercise and strengthen your core!
