Don’t ask what you can do for your posture; ask what your posture can do for you!

Face buried in your phone or laptop over those kooky candidates? While you’re figuring out who is best for your vote, let us help you figure out what’s best for your health. There are many health benefits associated with having good posture, such as a spike in positive mood!

Good posture can:
 Optimize breathing and circulation.
 Maintain bones and joints in correct alignment so muscles are used properly and efficiently.
 Reduce or prevent abnormal wearing of joint surfaces that could result in degenerative diseases (i.e. Arthritis).
 Decrease stress on soft tissues: ligaments, muscles, tendons, discs, etc.
 Prevent the spine from becoming fixed in abnormal positions.
 Prevent fatigue, including muscle fatigue.
 Prevent postural strain or overuse.
 Prevent neck or back pain.
 Contribute to a healthy image or appearance.

But what you can do for your posture is go to the chiropractor! ;)

It is important to educate your children about correct spinal care and postural habits and the consequences that may come with a heavy backpack.

The heavy weight of a backpack can cause an unnatural alignment of the spine that forces students to offset the pressure by arching their back or bending forward at the hips. To help combat this stress, students should consider bags with different compartments allowing the weight of the items in the bag to be evenly distributed. Tightened, padded straps should be worn on both shoulders to help position the weight of the bag.
