Updated: Mar 22

DOES SITTING AT A DESK ALL DAY GIVE YOU BACK PAIN STRUGGLES? HERE WE GIVE YOU SIMPLE EXERCISES TO IMPROVE YOUR POSTURE. 


Poor posture is extremely common and is often a cause of complaints with back, neck and shoulder pain. This is because it causes imbalances and throws the muscles out of normal alignment. It can also affect our normal walking, which can lead to back and knee pain. It's extremely important to work at correcting your posture and implement preventative measures to help you avoid potential injuries. Maintaining a good natural posture will help in preventing posture-related aches and pains. The spine curvature works as a shock absorber, helping to distribute weight along the length of your spine and adjusting postural distortions can help prevent issues. Carrying out these 6 quick and easy postural corrective stretches can help you re-educate your muscles and help too avoid being stuck in a hunched uncomfortable position and to restore normal function.


SITTING ADVICE FOR GOOD POSTURE The ideal sitting posture is to sit up onto your butt-bone, this will instantly prevent slouching, creates a healthy lumbar curvature and will automatically pull your shoulders back and keep your head neutral. This will allow for corrective seated alignment, and resist against any detrimental postural imbalances. At the same time, it's very important to actively keep your shoulder blades back to prevent the shoulders from slouching.
