It’s a new year so start it off right!  In this blogI will be addressing posture. Please let me help you if you have any questions in this areas.  Hope it helps.  Posture:  I could write a book on this. Standing habits can contribute to neck and back problems along with effecting the way you age.  Yes I said it…standing tall and strong will make you live longer and healthier.  Here are some tips, but if you want to know more let me know. Simply stand up straight.  Don’t be a slouch!  Make sure your top teeth are level to the ground and your ears are over your shoulders Keep your core tight, even with a slight tuck in your pelvis The shoes you wear mean a lot, but that’s another newsletter :) Keep yourself moving You can also stay fit while you sit.  Don't slouch or slump.Keep your shoulders out of your ears by rolling them back and down, relax your neck and again keep a slight tuck in your pelvis to avoid sitting with your back arched Your knees need to be at or above waist level.  This puts your spine in the best position taking pressure off of the low back and making it harder to slouch Relax.It is easy to become intense and uptight making you overuse your muscles. Take breaks when you need to find your happy place Watch your leg crossing patterns.Although leg crossing should not be encouraged, it’s comfortable and we do it.  Be aware of constantly crossing the same leg or sitting on the same foot.  This will cause you to tilt and your muscles will accommodate to this position causing muscle that aren’t being used to weaken.  If you insist on doing it switch sides regularly How does aging get involved with this? Good posture and a strong core is an important part of anti-aging or aging well.  Twenty something’s fear looking old, over fifty’s want to feel good and stay active and if you ask someone over eighty about their fears of aging the #1  response is “not being able to get around and take care of myself.”  Your body learns what you teach it and slumping has become the 21 century posture A prime example of when bones aren’t balanced, aligned or able to move correctly is arthritis.  Posture exercises and balance training keep your body in motion and moving in the proper way, firing muscles in the right order and decreasing the stress on the joints.  By focusing on posture, balance and restoring proper motion to the body, the body will be under less biomechanical stress and therefore should last longer before wearing out Our bodies are designed to move in certain patterns.  If injury or chronically poor posture place undue stress on the body, then the body can’t move as it should, setting the stage for future injury and premature aging Correct posture can even help you breathe easier and more efficiently. ...read more
