Your 5 New Year's Posture Resolutions (Make 2026 Pain-Free!)
Ready to ditch the stiffness and pain from 2025? Your posture needs a reset. Dr. Rob Elder shares the 5 essential commitments for a healthier spine this year:
1. The 20-Minute Movement Rule
Action: Set a timer. Stand up, stretch, and move for 60 seconds every 20 minutes.
Why: Stops hip tightness and relieves compressed discs (bye-bye, low back pain!).
2. Elevate Your Screen (Beat Tech Neck)
Action: Bring your phone/tablet up to eye level. Stop tilting your head down.
Why: Reduces the massive strain placed on your neck muscles, cutting down on tension headaches.
3. Empty Your Back Pockets
Action: Before you sit (desk or car), remove your wallet or phone from your back pocket.
Why: Prevents the subtle pelvic tilt that can irritate your sciatic nerve and cause imbalance.
4. Shoulders Back Check
Action: Every hour, physically roll your shoulders up, then back and down.
Why: Corrects slouching and restores proper upper back alignment, helping you breathe better.
5. Schedule Your Spine Check
Action: Commit to regular chiropractic care this year.
Why: Adjustments correct misalignments, making it easy for your body to hold those good posture habits naturally!
