Importance Of Proper Posture
Good Posture Starts
With Your Spine
The Importance of Proper Posture
There are many ways to develop poor postural habits. We spend many hours of the day sitting at our desks, working on our computers, or using our smart phones. While many are aware that they have poor posture, they often do not know how to correct it. In addition to reducing neck and back pain, the following are additional benefits of good posture.
Getting To Your Best Self
At Yaletown Chiropractic, we understand that posture can affect your quality of life. By taking pictures of your posture and allowing you to see them and discuss the findings with your chiropractor, we are hoping to introduce more postural awareness than you had before. Years of poor habits have contributed to any postural faults you may have, so the neuromusculoskeletal system has adapted to these habits. Chiropractic adjustments in combination with corrective postural exercises will help re-train the nervous system and put the whole spine in a better position to minimize the effects of gravity.
Improving Posture
To improve posture, try these helpful tips:
- Get an ergonomic assessment at your workplace
- Limit smartphone and laptop use, where possible
- Weight train with proper postural techniques (we can help)
- Make a visit to your chiropractor!

Neck Pain
Most people experience some type of neck pain or discomfort at some point in their life. This can be a result of stress, poor posture, an accident, sleeping position, sports, or other factors.
Back Pain
Chronic Back Pain is a leading cause of missed work in Canada. While missing work is enough of a problem, not being able to live an active lifestyle can have a huge impact on future health.
