Do You Have Poor Posture?

There are studies showing the importance of posture and overall health.  At Health 1st we've found that if we can help people improve their posture - they have better overall health.

So lets address three things you need to do to check your posture.

1. Look in the mirror!

If you just stand and look in the mirror - many postures issues can be exposed.  You can look at your shoulders, your eyes and your hips - if their not level there may be an issue.  If you see posture issues in the mirror you need to make sure they aren't affecting your health.

2. Ask your friends/co-workers/family...

Yes - mom was right!  If you're having people tell you to "sit up straight" then you may have posture issues.  Don't let your posture dictate your health - make sure you have your posture issues taken care of.

3.  Lay down.

Yes - lay on the floor.  If you lay on the floor and you don't feel "balanced" you may have posture issues.  As soon as some people lay on the floor - they notice that their body is not level with the floor.  If one hip lays on the floor and the other hip is in the air - your posture is out of balance.

If you notice any of these posture tests are about you - then YOU NEED IT EVALUATED!

Don't let your posture dictate your life - make sure it's your health FRIEND - not your health destroyer.
