Three Tips for Improving Posture

Stand correctly by bearing most of your body weight on the balls of your feet. Keep your knees slightly bent and legs shoulder width apart. Let arms hand naturally to the side of your body, stand tall with your shoulders pulled back and tuck in your stomach. Your head should be level and if you are standing for a long time, shift your weight from your toes to your heels or from one foot to another.

By consciously being aware of the proper way to sit, stand and sleep you may be able to gradually correct the problem and eliminate some of the pain that is being caused by bad habits such as slouching. Our Lake Worth chiropractor can also assist in back pain relief from low back pain to pain in the upper extremities of the back and neck that stems from bad posture.
