Q: Do you have any tips for working on posture throughout the day? – Tiffany

A: Hi, Tiffany. Yes, of course – there are three little things you can do!

1) Throughout the day, you should stop and get out of your chair, stretch your arms up over your head, and do a little back bend. Then stretch your neck, adjust your posture, and sit down.

2) Another exercise it to push away from your desk, place your hands on your thighs, and take a few full breaths to actively activate your diaphragm, which affects your posture as it is attached to both ribs and spine.

3) The third thing you can easily do throughout the day for your posture is to reach your arms out in front of you and pull them back like you are rowing. Do this while balancing on one leg and extending your other leg out in front of you. Make sure you are using mid-back muscles and pelvic floor and stabilizing muscles.
