Tips for Fixing Poor Posture

Do you have frequent back pain?

Have you noticed that you're slouching more than usual?

Looking to improve your posture?

Left untreated, poor posture can lead to serious complications involving your circulation and digestion, and immense pain in your back, neck, and shoulders.

Fixing your posture can help ease this pain and save you from long-term health issues. Making a change right now can improve your quality of life for the future.

The following tips are a great place to start on your journey to a better posture:

Build core strength
A strong core supports your back and puts less strain on your spine. Some simple core exercises are a great way to improve your posture.
Improve your workspace
Make sure you have a comfortable chair that keeps you in a proper sitting position. Additionally, it's important to have your desk and monitor at a proper level to ensure you aren't looking down or up.
Perform posture correcting exercises
Taking a few minutes per day to do some easy stretches can develop your flexibility, strength, and balance. This will put less stress on your muscles and your spine.
Think about the rest of your body
Your posture isn't only about your spine. It also has to do with things like weight distribution and balancing standing time vs. sitting time. It's important to stay balanced when sitting or standing.

Customer Reviews

Dr.Andrew Gessert is an outstanding professional with amazing skill in adjusting my neck and spine. I can continue in my sport feeling great after an adjustment. You don't know how great you can feel till your nerves and spine are aligned. Thank you Dr. Gessert.

I started seeing Dr. Andrew last summer after my Cross Fit coach listened to my complaints about my body and urged me to get a consultation. It’s now been almost a full year, and not only do I feel so much better physically—much less chronic pain—but I feel much more in touch and in tune with my body, due to the treatment he provides, and also the at-home stretching that he prescribed. Dr. Andrew is friendly and always takes the time to listen to how I’m feeling, and he never fails to amaze me at how he can assess my physical problems and use his training to correct them. I would recommend him to anyone who has pain and wants to feel better!

Great experience for me. Easy to work with and accommodating. Andy has a very clear process and steps through it adjusting on the way. He is professional, communicates well and is never rushed. Every thing is very well explained and measured. My results have been great. Life changing. Highly recommended.

I’m very impressed with Dr. Gessert’s skill in adjusting my neck and spine; especially given the fact that I have had numerous orthopedic surgeries. Not only am I walking straighter, he also provided me with an ongoing strengthening plan to maintain the results I am happily experiencing. Highly recommend a visit to Pivotal Chiropractic.
