There is no evidence that one specific posture actually prevents pain…💣

Basically, even if you assumed ‘perfect posture’ in front of your computer for eight hours a day, it would not necessarily prevent pain.

Shocker, right?😱

The main reason why we get headaches, neck and back pain from hours in front of the computer, is not because our posture isn’t ‘perfect’ but more to do with the fact that we are in ONE POSITION for TOO LONG.

This means, that getting up and standing or walking is good. BUT moving the actual joints and spine through their full ranges is BETTER😍🙌🏻

This means moving more often, changing our position more often:
-Gently turn your head over your one shoulder and then around to the other.
-Look up and then down to your chest
-Take your ear to your one shoulder, then slowly to the other.
-While seated, twist your body to your left. Then repeat to the right.
-Roll your shoulders forwards and backwards
-Seated, lean forward to touch the floor with your hands
-Then lean to the sides.

Get your move on.
Movement matters!😊🙌🏻

W O R L D P H Y S I O D A Y!

Today is international Physiotherapy Day🙌

We as physiotherapists, are not healers or fixers.

We are however, catalysts, facilitators/guides,collaborators, listeners, motivators, respectful challengers and MOVEMENT OPTIMISTS.

We treat people through all age groups and all seasons of life: from new borns to geriatrics and even have a large role to play in palliative care.

Today I celebrate my fellow MOVEMENT OPTIMISTS around the world🥳👌
