It may feel hard to have a good posture, but it actually is not. Some tiny changes in our everyday life can have a tremendous effect on our posture. Let’s have a look at few of these:
• Sitting evenly on both glutes: People spend lots of time sitting. So the way we sit has a great impact on our spine and posture. Sitting on both sit-bones equally can be great help. Crossing your leg above the knee will rotate the same side of the hip, that will reduce the pressure on that side and increase loads on the other side of the body.
• Sit straight: It feels comfortable to slouch since gravity acts, but sitting tall won’t do any harm.
• Neck back to shoulder: It is a digital world and most of the work is on computer. While giving attention to work whether on computer or any other, a little focus to make sure your head is aligned with your shoulder adds an extra benefit.
• Looking up or straight: A common trend nowadays we see is what we call ‘Text Neck’. Everybody is looking down. It is found that people spend almost 80% of their day in this posture. So just focusing on looking straight or admiring how beautiful the sky is can have a greater effect on your health
• Standing with equal weight on both legs: Next state where we spend lots of time is standing. Again, leaning on one side will unevenly distribute the weight of our body in between our hips and pelvic joints. This results in tilting of the pelvic, as a compensation our spine moves in a dysfunctional pattern resulting in poor posture.
• Walking: Our spine loves movement. Just a simple walk of 30-45 minutes every day promotes good movement of our vertebrae.
• Stretches: 10-15 minutes of stretching can prepare you for a good day and for good night.
These simple habits can make the world of difference. Give us a call today to arrange an Posture assessment.
