This year’s key message for Spinal Health Week is Let’s Get Back to Our Best by improving postural fitness. Chiropractors often get asked how to sit right at the computer desk. The Chiropractors Association of Australia has developed a widget you can download to remind you when to take a break from sitting. Go to www.SitRight.com.au
The following are some general tips for the work environment:
- Try standing when you’re on the phone for extended periods
- Take regular stretch breaks during meetings
- while you’re working at your computer, take short breaks to stretch and stand
- check and adjust your posture regularly
An active spine is a healthy spine and a healthy spine leads to a healthier life. Why not use Spinal Health Week to make an appointment with our clinic to assess your postural fitness and discuss how being more active will improve your wellbeing?
