The best posture is your next posture!

🧍‍♂️ PhysioMyth vs. Fact! 🧍‍♀️

❌ Myth: “Good posture means sitting up straight all the time.”
✅ Fact: The best posture is your next posture! 🔄

Holding any position for too long — even a “perfect” one — can cause discomfort. Physiotherapists recommend frequent movement and posture variation to keep your body happy and pain-free.

So yes, sit tall — but also shift, stretch, and stand often! 🪑➡️🧍‍♀️➡️🧘‍♂️

Osteoarthritis is not only due to wear and tear! You have more controll than you think❗️ 💪🏊‍♀️🏌💃🏾🚴🧘‍♀️🤼‍♀️🤸🏃🏼‍♀️

We used to think osteoarthritis was “wear and tear.”
But it turns out it’s more than mechanics. Much more than mechanics.

It’s genetic.
It’s metabolism.
It’s inflammation.
It’s systemic.

Your joints don’t break down from movement.

Our joints break down more from not moving.

That means you have more control than you think.
Improve your habits. Improve your health.
Your joints will thank you.

💡 PhysioMyth vs. Fact! 💡

❌ Myth: "If you have back pain, you should rest and avoid movement."

✅ Fact: Movement is medicine! 🚶‍♂️💪 Gentle activity and targeted exercises can actually help reduce pain and speed up recovery. Complete rest can sometimes make things worse by causing stiffness and weakness. If in doubt, consult a physio!
