Common Mistakes with Posture

rosedalewellness • October 22, 2020

???? Common mistakes with posture⁠

✴Sticking butt out/overarching lower back⁠
✴Flat back (pelvis tucked in causing a flat lower back)⁠
✴Leaning on one leg⁠
✴Slouching in your chair/sitting on the edge ⁠

Do any of these sound familiar to you? If so, then you are more than likely experiencing a certain level of discomfort in your back especially after longer periods of standing in the same spot. Spending too much time in these positions will lead to pain, dysfunction and eventually deconditioning.⁠

At Rosedale you have the opportunity to work with various health care practitioners such as chiropractors, physiotherapists and massage therapists along with osteopathy and/or acupuncture to improve your spinal mobility. ⁠

???? Here’s one corrective exercise – Bird dog ????⁠

1. Start in a four-point position with your hands underneath your shoulders and knees underneath your hips.⁠

2. Your back should be in a neutral position and your chin should be tucked in.⁠

3. Tighten your abdominal muscles and reach one arm and the opposite leg out without allowing your pelvis/trunk to move.⁠

4. Imagine grabbing something in front of you with your arm and reaching out towards a wall behind you with your opposite foot to lengthen the spine.⁠

5. Return to the starting position & repeat with the other side. ⁠

6. Try completing 2-3 sets of 6-8 reps with a 2-3 minute rest in between
