Posture plays a significant role in preventing and rehabilitating musculoskeletal conditions. Chiropractors work with patients to identify poor posture habits and implement exercises and strategies to correct them.
Postural Training Includes:
- Ergonomic Assessment: Chiropractors will assess your work or home environment to identify postural issues related to sitting, standing, or lifting habits. They will make recommendations on how to improve posture through ergonomically friendly furniture, tools, and habits.
- Postural Correction Exercises: Chiropractors teach exercises that target muscles responsible for maintaining proper posture, such as strengthening the upper back muscles and stretching tight chest muscles.
- Awareness Training: The chiropractor will educate you on proper body mechanics for tasks like lifting, bending, and sitting to avoid strain on your body.
