To help counteract the effects of sitting at a desk all day, try this simple posture reset.

🪑Start by moving away from your desk so you have space to move your arms.
🪑Open up your chest by bringing both arms our to your sides, palms facing forward.
🪑Pinch your shoulder blades together and pull downwards slightly.
🪑Position your head over your spine in a position where you don’t feel any pull forward, ideally your ear is aligned with your shoulder.
🪑Take a deep breath in and out. Repeat this 2 more times.
🪑Try to do this every hour on the hour.

Posture at work has changed in the modern world as technology has changed and continues to change. What used to be a typical desk setup of a single monitor, keyboard, chair and desk telephone, has changed to multiple monitors, touchscreens, mobile telephones and standing desks. Home offices may not be set up in the most ergonomic way as they are often compiled from mismatched pieces not intended for regular office use.

When sitting and standing at a desk, be sure to:

🖥️Maintain hands, wrists and forearms in a straight position, parallel to the floor

🖥️Maintain your head in a forward facing position and level, in-line with your torso

🖥️Spine is upright

🖥️Shoulders are relaxed and hang normally to your side

🖥️Elbows stay close to the body, bent to 90 degrees

🖥️Spine is forward facing, not turned to a side

🖥️The monitor is positioned in-line with your eyes or slightly below allowing for your sight line to be between horizontal and 30 degrees below

When standing at a desk, be sure to also:

🖥️The desk height is at your standing elbow height

🖥️The keyboard and mouse are aligned as they are in the sitting position

🖥️The monitor is maintained to a position of horizontal to your eyes and 35 degrees below

🖥️Wear supportive footwear

🖥️Consider the use of an anti-fatigue mat, where appropriate

🖥️Use of a foot rest when standing to help shift your weight, or shift your weight from leg to leg occasionally

🖥️Make sure all cables, electrical access and other materials are clear so adjusting the height is not difficult

I certainly hope not!  We can adjust ribs, in fact, we likely get ribs adjusted when we don’t intend to during a thoracic adjustment.  Why?  Well, the posterior rib connection to the spine  is through 2 joints.  The costovertebral joint and the costotransverse joint. 

The rib joints can get “stuck“ or I prefer the term “restricted” in one or more of its ranges of motion.  A rib moves through elevation, depression, and rotation forward or backwards.  To read more about rib motion and correction read our recent blog post on this topic. 

A rib can be dislocated if there is significant trauma.  Think a fall landing on something with pressure on the thorax, sternum, a punch, a car accident, etc… So a rib can be “out” but that is a dislocation and not something that I can just put back.  So when someone presents and says their rib is out, the questions around trauma need to be addressed to make sure there is no “rib dislocation”.  When we adjust a rib, the amount of movement is very small and within the anatomical limits of the joint.  Think a few millimeters of motion not centimeters.

The intercostal muscles contract to help expand and compress the rib cage during breathing. The artery, vein and nerve are located between the internal intercostal and the innermost intercostal muscles. This provides a little bit of protection from external sources. And that rib pain you feel after exercising after you have had a long break from exercise, that is the muscle soreness from exercising these rib muscles. And just like any other muscle in the body, we can do treatment here to allow for better movement.
