// Why is posture so important?

Sitting... You’re probably doing it right now… And I bet you’re doing it wrongly.

Did you know that your sitting posture may be the #1 cause of your pain?

Your body works at its best when it is in its correct postural alignment.

With bad posture, structures such as your muscles and joints become over loaded. (…especially if you sit down all day!)

If left unaddressed, this could lead to pain and stiffness!

// Why is it important to take immediate action now:

“Yeah yeah, I’ll do it later…”

No! – Now is not the time to put this off.

A simple problem now can escalate to a complex problem later if you let your poor posture to continue to exist .

The 3 most common questions:

1. “I have had my bad posture for [insert number] years… Can it still be fixed?

Generally speaking – the longer you have had your bad posture, the harder it will be to influence any change.

However, having seen many patients with longstanding postural issues, I have found that there is always something that we can improve on.

2. “How long is it going to take?”

This is definitely one of the most commonly asked question I get.

… And to be completely honest with you, my answer is I really don’t know.

Everybody is different! It would be impossible for me to tell you.

My advice: Focus on consistent small improvements over a long period of time.

3. “Can one really achieve “perfect” posture?”

Let me throw a question back at you:

Can one really be 100% perfect in anything?

The answer is no.

… But that should not stop you from trying to achieve the best posture in ourselves.

The closer we can resemble the “perfect posture”, the more we can be assured that our body is working at its best.
