Take the following self-checks in the mirror to do a quick self-analysis of your posture:

1. Take a side body photo and a front-view photo of yourself.

2. One the side body photo, check to see if your ear is in front of the midpoint of your shoulder. If so, it’s likely your head is too far forwards.

3. In the front photo check to see if one shoulder is higher than the other.

4. Also, check if your feet turn out more than 10 degrees to either side.

These are just some of the seemingly minuscule alignment issues which can result in bigger problems down the line if not addressed in the early days of misalignment.

As always, make sure to seek professional opinion when beginning a course of exercises or correctional movements!

The Problem - Stiff neck and shoulder muscles

The Cause - Lack of movement and mobility of the upper body, likely to be experienced by desk workers.

The Solution - Moving only the head. Allow the chin to drop down towards the sternum, stretching out the back of the neck. Repeat up to 10 times a day.

Similarly, rounded shoulders are caused by a weakness in the trapezius muscles of the upper back and shoulder blades. To combat this, lie on your belly with the palms facing the floor and the elbows bent at 90-degree angles from the body. Use an inhale breath to lift the entire front of your body from the floor and keep the chin tucked in towards the sternum.

Did you know the link between your lung capacity and proper spinal alignment?

Just as the digestive and circulatory systems benefit from improved posture and alignment, so too does the respiratory system. Pressure on the lungs stemming from hunched shoulders and spinal curvatures means that we become accustomed to breathing in a way which inhibits our lungs from taking in their full breath capacity.

Most people only breath to about 30% our their lung capacity - imagine how we would feel if we started to breathe like this all of the time?

By first attending to the alignment of the structural body, the organs, and systems surrounding it can then gradually fall back into place and start functioning to the height of their capacity. You’ll be able to take and maintain a deeper breath pattern which will directly impact energy levels and circulatory health, too!

It’s all interconnected - start with your alignment!

One area of health which postural alignment directly impacts, though you may not initially think it, is our DIGESTION.

When we consider digestion and all the required factors to ensure it runs smoothly, it’s unusual to think about our posture and yet it may just be the most important factor of all.

For digestion to function as desired at all, it’s vital that the organs in the digestive system remain aligned correctly. Poor posture like slouching, standing with the hips drawn forwards, and even just sitting for too long every day, all have direct impacts on our digestive system. This will cause not only a slowing down of the metabolism but also creates a more complex system for the body to navigate food through in order to pass waste.

This, in turn, hinders the absorption of nutrients from food, and we’re left with an increased likelihood of nutritional deficiency and gastrointestinal disorders like IBS.

In order to improve and maximize the efficiency of our digestive system, we must first prioritize our alignment.

Improved digestion is just one of the things you can expect from beginning a path towards optimal postural alignment.

Among the numerous symptoms and effects of poor posture, increased stress and tension has to be one of the most debilitating and frequently observed by chiropractors.

This can be due to a number of things, but most often from physical stress being placed on the body due to poor alignment, which translates to soreness and pain, which in turn leads to mental stress.

The decreased levels of testosterone caused by poor alignment can also be a factor, as cortisol levels will increase to counteract this. The posturally challenged individual will be left stressed, sad, and unwilling to move the body to shift it! (This may sound extreme, but trust us, we’ve seen it happen!)

In fact, it’s even possible to build resilience to stress by remembering to sit up straight and commit to a period of proper posture instead of allowing the body to be slouched or hunched throughout the day.

Research shows vitamin C is essential for the growth and repair of tissue all over the body. Because the body cannot make this vitamin, it must be acquitted through the diet.

Though it may not keep you from catching a cold, there is some evidence that high doses of vitamin C may decrease the length of cold symptoms by as much as one to one-and-a-half days for some people.

Sources of vitamin C include citrus fruits, tomatoes, potatoes, strawberries, green and red bell peppers, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and kiwifruit, among others.

In her powerful TED Talk on body language and posture (linked below), Amy Cuddy has discussed how holding the body in various positions has specific effects on our overall mood and outlook. It can increase confidence, decrease anxiety, and ensure that all bodily functions are optimized.

She describes how taking a ‘large stance’ such as expanding the feet wide and opening the arms out to the side actually increases testosterone production and reduces stress hormones significantly.

It goes without saying that the way we hold ourselves has a direct effect on outlook and mood.

Take a listen to Amy’s talk and share in the comments what you think!

No matter how healthy your immune system is, there are times when it can't fight off a new invader.

If someone who has the flu coughs, sneezes, or even talks closely, you can inhale droplets of the virus even if you are 2-3 feet away. Additionally, germs can live on hard surfaces like doorknobs for hours.

The immune response will recruit other systems, like the nervous system, in order to elicit an adequate response.

This is because communication with the brain is complicated since it is usually isolated by the blood-brain barrier. Therefore, cytokines have to take alternate routes like the vagus nerve.
