Monday Posture Tip of the Week;
Do you spend most of your week sat at a desk?
I like to give my massage therapy clients posture awareness tips and little stretches to incorporate into their day.
Checking in with your posture and breathing can be an effective way to positively change how your body feels!
Palms Forward Posture!
A simple posture tip is to place your arms at your sides with your palms facing forward. In this position, you will naturally lift your head up and draw your shoulder blades together behind your back. You may notice you are able to breathe easier, there is less compression down on your lungs and diaphragm. During our daily activities it is common to be looking down, this results in tighter muscles of the chest and front of the shoulders. Palms forward posture can provide a gentle stretch of the whole front side of the body, which is good for the nerve and blood supply to the arms and hands.
