⚠️Posture Myths⚠️

Who has ever been to ‘sit up straight’ and ‘stop slouching, you’ll injure your back’?

Well, the truth is there is no such thing as good or bad posture‼️🤯

Staying in any one position for a long period of time can cause you discomfort, good or bad posture😱

The saying goes’ movement is medicine’ 🧪
So an alarm on your phone every 1-2 hours to get up and get moving e.g. getting a cup of tea ☕️ or making lunch 🥗

Often we wait for a problem to get become evident before taking action🔜which retrospectively could have been avoided if we adressed it earlier on ⏰

The saying goes.....Prevention is always better than cure 💓

HEAT 🔥 vs COLD 🧊
•
Often we get confused about whether to use heat or cold for an injury, swipe through for a brief overview of the effects of each!
•
⚠️Please consult a healthcare proffessional about what will be suitable to you specifically⚠️
•
🔥 HEAT- Dilates blood vessels (Vasodilation), relaxes muscles and alleviates pain
🧊ICE- Constricts blood vessels (Vasoconstriction)reducing swelling/ inflammation and numb pain

NOTE: -Cover both heat/ cold with a thin towel to avoid frostbite🥶/heat burn 🥵
-Don’t use heat in areas where you lack sensation in that area of the body, or have poor circulation (e.g Diabetes)

Hope you have found this helpful 😅
