Maintaining a good standing posture is highly beneficial in many ways 👌

✔ Prevents the use of unnecessary muscles
✔ Prevents neck/back pain and headaches
✔ Less stress to our ligaments/joints
✔ Boosts our confidence levels!

So.. HOW should we be STANDING ❓

✔ Feet shoulder width apart
✔ Avoid locking your knees
✔ Slightly tighten your core muscles so your pelvis doesn't shift forward
✔ Shoulders back, chest forward
✔ Arms hanging naturally by the sides
✔ Keep your head directly above your body
✔ Light chin tuck

The first 4 examples on the image are regarded as POOR posture. We want to try and keep our posture as close as possible to the one on the very right.

The straight line down on the last example depicts a rough guide of the body landmarks that should be in line for an IDEAL STANDING posture.

**Try lining these parts of your body**
✔ Ear
✔ Center of shoulder
✔ Hip
✔ Knee
✔ Ankle

Stand TALL and STRONG !! 💪

The nervous system plays a BIG part in our bodies. It controls our actions, senses, mood, wellbeing and so much more. Our nervous system is created in the brain and runs down the spine, out through the nerves stemming out from our spine to all parts of the body.
Simply speaking, our spine is working as a gateway between the brain and the body.

When our spine is misaligned, it gives rise to interference in the flow of our nervous system, hence the communication between our brain and body may be interfered. This is called a 'vertebral subluxation' in chiropractic terms.

Chiropractors are professionally trained to adjust these specific areas of vertebral subluxation, which would align the spine and free the flow of our nervous system.

A freely flowing, healthy nervous system enhances the natural healing ability that we are all born with.

The name 'Chiropractic' comes from two Greek words 'cheir' = hand, 'praxis' = action. Literally, chiropractic means 'done by hand'. It is a non-invasive, drug-free approach to health that enhances the body's inborn ability to heal itself.

Anyone with a spine and a nervous system, ranging from infants to the elderly can easily benefit from chiropractic care.
