Posture Correction

Tired of aches and pains? you don't like how you look in your candid photos?

It's probably your posture! Let's Fix it.

Importance of correct posture

Posture plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal health and well-being. A proper posture helps to distribute the body's weight evenly, reducing strain on muscles, joints, and ligaments. It promotes efficient movement, balance, and stability, thereby preventing musculoskeletal disorders such as back pain, neck pain, and joint stiffness. Additionally, maintaining a correct posture enhances breathing and circulation, enabling the body to receive an adequate oxygen supply and nutrients. Furthermore, good posture contributes to a confident and positive body image, boosting self-esteem and improving overall appearance. By paying attention to our posture and making necessary adjustments, we can enhance our health, prevent injuries, and promote a better quality of life.

There are 10 stretches and exercises that you can do every day to improve your posture and undo any damages that you might get from prolonged sitting periods. These exercises will also help you to deal with muscle imbalances that are caused by inappropriate sitting positions.
Ideally you take a break every hour from sitting and do as many as these stretches that you can do.
But we know that as we get busy during the day, we might not be able to do that much, so we recommend doing this routine three times throughout the day or in worst case at least once at the end of your day.
