POSTURE

Posture is the position in which you hold your body upright against gravity while standing, sitting or lying down.

Good posture involves training your body to stand, walk, sit and lie in positions where the least strain is placed on supporting muscles and ligaments during movement or weight-bearing activities. There are a range of simple yet effective methods to improve your posture which can be discussed during your initial assessment.

Here are some basic posture exercises you can start doing now:

30 minute office posture workout

Most back pain is caused by having weak core muscles from sitting all day in the car, on the bus, at the office, and at home relaxing. The muscles weaken because they are not being worked, then there is nothing to hold the back in place, this causes pain, and can lead to more serious problems.

A little strengthening can help stop the pain.

By doing some simple strengthening exercises once or twice a week you can really make a difference, this can even be done in your office, With a simple 30 min workout.

Posture workout at home

Postural Exercise can be done in the home Very easily With very little equipment and space. A mat and a fit ball are good items to have for home training but not essential. I can bring a suspension trainer this is also very effective and works easily at home giving you a full body workout, the added benefit is it works the core muscles all the way through the workout, so creating a good solid core area, that is essential for the good posture. The suspension trainer is very good for all ability levels, from easy rehab to that hard push.

Lets get outside

Training outside can be a really great way to train, the fresh gives you a real feel good factor. Their are many ways of training outside, cycling, running, and walking can be really energising, getting the hips moving and mobilising the muscles around the lower back. Exercises can feel great done outside strengthening the posture and core muscles. The suspension trainer is also very effective outside, it can be easily attached to a high bar or even a tree branch, so can add a hole range of effective exercises.

Commuter workout

This is a workout that you can do on the move when you are nowhere near a gym that needs no exercise equipment other than a chair and a little floor space.

The workout will hit all the right areas you need to deliver a hard and effective workout, raising your heart rate and pumping the muscles all in one, and can be tailored to your all your postural needs.
