Alignment your body!! ITS MORE THAN JUST A GOOD POSTURE.

Remember when you were growing up and your mom (or your annoying aunt) would always correct you about your posture? “Stand up straight.” “Don’t slouch.” “Shoulders back.” Well, it was right... sort of. Body alignment is important. It affects many aspects of your health. But proper body alignment is more than just good posture.

Proper body alignment can help with body mechanics. That means it helps your body moves in a way that’s smart, efficient and with less risk of injury. In other words, body alignment will keep your body moving, sitting, standing, working, exercising, and being active for a long time. Proper alignment is very important, not only for your back, but for your overall health as well.

Benefits of Proper body alignment-

1) helps the major systems in your body work better: digestive system, respiratory system, nervous system, immune system and more. body alignment prevents injuries and balances how your muscle groups work.

when you are in alignment, you use less energy for any movement and put less stress on the joints. Prevents wear and tear on joints in poor posture when greater is the risk of injury.

How to help maintain a good posture

Train yourself to recognize Neutral Spine Position—

it’s when the pelvis, rib cage and skull are aligned on top of each other. Instead of thinking of “standing up straight with your shoulders back” imagine being suspended from a string from the top of your head and all the other parts of the spine are suspended from the same string. When in neutral spine position, all 3 curves of the spine (cervical, thoracic and lumbar) are aligned and in natural balance. When you’re in this position, every movement activates from the core muscles.

Visit a chiropractor-
A chiropractor aligns your whole body, by manually correcting the position of your pelvis, hips, whole spine( correcting its rotations and thoracic hump), cervical vertebrae ( the root cause of cervical spondylitis and strains on neck),Shoulders and knees. They are manually skilled to correct your biomechanics in just few minutes and make you fee lighter and more efficient.

One of its kind of clinic is there in Faridabad. HEALING HANDS PHYSIOTHERAPY, OSTEOPATHY & CHIROPRACTIC CENTRE where Dr Stuti Sunil Dhingra is a certified Chiropractor ( Sweden) and an Osteopath ( Canada). She has been aligning many people suffering from various joint problems in just few sessions.

Engage your core most of the times-

Engage your core most of the times in the day and see the result…you will feel your clothes getting looser!! Just TUCK IN YOUR TUMMY 30% WHILE BREATHING AND TALKING (CAN RELATE 30% TO TUCKING YOUR NAVAL JUST THAT MUCH THAT IT DOES NOT TOUCH YOUR SHIRT). Doing this throughout the day TONES UP YOUR TUMMY.

Maintain a healthy weight.-

Excess weight puts additional stress on the joints and muscles.

Avoid certain body positions and movements.-

Having a slumped forward head posture e.g. using the mobile with a flexed neck , twisting from the spine to a point of strain, reaching for anything too far out from the body, bending from the waist to lift things or reach for things.

Exercise regularly with a program that promotes and builds core stabilization- Squats, planks, push-ups, lunges with engagement of your abdominals and gluteals can help strengthen your core

We have this strong belief in the fact that physiotherapy is not only important for the elimination of orthopedic issues but is also useful in encouraging individuals in taking the right plunge towards holistic fitness grooming and lifestyle care.
