As a Chiropractor, I am always emphasizing the benefits of good posture for your health. The modern lifestyle has become more and more sedentary with people sitting for long periords at their desk, or during their commute to and from work. Plus sitting watching television can also lead to problems if we are adopting poor posture while doing it.
This short Ted Ex Video- The benefits of good posture by Murat Dalkilinç outlines some of the pitfalls that we all can encounter on a daily basis. It explains beautifully how to correct some of these common problems, so that we use our body in a more efficient way.
In my clinic I often encounter Patients with problems caused by an incorrect sitting position at work. Patients may present with tension headaches, neck and shoulder pain, or lower back pain. I have found that a course of treatment coupled with postural advice has them back to feeling fit and flexible again in virtually no time at all.
I hope this short video is helpful to you and if you have any of the problems discussed here and would like to discuss them just give me a call on 087-1904307.
