Posture is created by habits

This picture is a perfect example of a working lifestyle which leads to bad posture. Bad posture leads to neck pain, back pain, stiff joints, achy joints, loss of confidence, and the feelings of getting older. Work, home, recreation, and even sleep lifestyles will add to bad posture. By engaging in habits to create good posture is a start to feeling pain free, younger, and more confident. 

Bad posture do not have to be the end result of a lifestyle of bad habits. Believe it or not, bad posture can be corrected. The human  body will take the shape of the posture it stays in the most because muscles adapt like clay. Muscles also change shape if you start using habits which gives you good posture. Muscles are very pliable but sometimes they can become very stiff. By using Myofascial flexibility training we can improve the elasticity of the muscle and then start to retrain it to maintain the correct posture the muscle was suppose to. Myofascial flexibility is the use of foam rollers, massage balls, and massage sticks. There are other flexibility modalities available such as active stretching, static stretching, and PNF  -proproceptive neuromuscular facilitation flexibility training. We work with clients everyday using these 4 flexibility modalities to correct posture issues and have been very successful. Our blog is here to provide you with information which supports good posture. Look in our pass blogs and upcoming blogs on how to correct posture and start working on your posture today.
