POSTURAL IMPROVEMENT

Many of us increasingly suffer from back pain or "twinges" when we move in a certain way. This may stem from not having the right posture and therefore putting more pressure on the wrong parts of our back.

Our "core" is the crossroads of our body - providing a link between the lower and upper body. If this core isn't stable and providing the best support possible, we'll suffer from back pain, even when doing small things such as lifting shopping bags. Our increasingly sedentary lifestyles do little to help as we tend to be seated in positions which constantly flex the spine.

Surprising to most people is that exercise can also have a negative effect on our posture - if we're not doing it correctly. For example, if you're using weights in the gym incorrectly, you could be placing the wrong demands on your skeleton.

The good news is that by changing a few things at a time you can improve your posture and ease your back pain - particularly through a mixture of flexibility and strengthening exercises. This can be supported by correct lifting techniques.

We are also able to refer you to other health professionals, qualified in remedial care if that is required.
