Your Posture and Your Health Email Series
Posture Plays a Big Role in Wellness
Did you know posture isn’t just about the spine? The American Journal of Pain Management reports that posture can affect blood pressure, pulse rate, breathing, bowel functions, and even your hormonal system.
Poor posture is a contributing factor to many types of pain, discomfort, and diseases. Wellness is defined as the state of being in good health, which takes into account physical, emotional, and mental well-being. This is why posture also acts as a form of communication that reveals a person’s degree of confidence and self-esteem.
Wellness is more than being free from illness, it’s an active pursuit of becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life. Similarly, a healthy posture requires an active pursuit. For most of us, within seconds of sitting our posture deteriorates. This is why frequent cues to realign are a crucial step in correcting poor posture. We can help!
More Than Back Pain Relief
Did you know that looking down for extended periods of time, for example, while texting, you are increasing the load on your neck by as much as 60 pounds?! That's a heavy load to place just on the neck muscles.
While neck and back pain are common symptoms of poor posture, many more aspects of health are impacted as well. This is due to poor blood circulation associated with poor posture.
Stress no doubt can causes changes in your posture, but did you know poor posture can actually increase your stress levels? By improving posture you can also improve stress-related issues such as high blood pressure.
During Your Posture and Your Health Email Series we’ll share information on the many aspects of health that are impacted by posture. After all, correcting your posture offers much more than just relieving back and neck pain.
