Your Comprehensive Guide to Better Posture at Work
We know everyone wants to have better posture, but it’s easier said than done! Luckily here at PhysioStrength Physical Therapy, we have compiled everything you need to know about what proper posture is, how to get it, and how to maintain your newfound habits for the future.
Dynamic Posture:
Posture is a tricky thing because it is more than just how you sit and especially not just the typical, chest up and shoulders back! This link will give you practical examples and understanding of the fluidity of posture and how to keep yourself moving to improve your workday aches.
Ergonomics:
All habits are hard to break, so start by setting your self up for the best posture days. Here is a link where ergonomics, the process of designing and setting up your workstation in order to maximize efficiency and comfort, is discussed as well as tips for how to create this optimal positioning in your own workstation. We even tell you all you need to know about standing desks!
Stretching Routine:
Now that you have a better understanding of what posture is and how to set yourself up for success, how do we really keep it going and fully obtain those postures we know we should have. Dr. Connor Naccarato takes you through a full stretching routine and rationale for each posture. Every person is an individual and you can take what you need from the video and cater to your schedule and lifestyle!
