STRENGTHENING SERIES
THE KEY TO POSTURE
We regularly assess your posture. Posture is important as poor posture can affect how you feel and function, creating tension and stress in the spine and nervous system. Likewise good posture can be a sign of a well functioning spine and nervous system.
Having a healthy posture has another benefit which is your mood. Various studies reveal that maintaining good posture can also help boost your mood and reduce stress.
The posture exercises here will help keep your posture aligned in between your Chiropractic visits and allow you to take an active role in your care.

CORE SERIES
THE KEY TO POSTURE
Your nervous system responds to movement. When you are inactive for a long period of time you reduce the feedback and input into your nervous system. We tend to develop static positions often bent forward when we are designed to be upright. This causes the muscles to get tired and overworked resulting in tension.
When we sit many of us tend to not support ourselves properly and slouch causing our core abdominal muscles to switch off.
The core exercises here are based on Pilates exercises to help you strengthen your abdominals which will also help you to hold your adjustments between visits.
