Fed up having aches and pains in the same places? Poor posture? Struggling with tension or headaches and not sure what to do? Does any mis-alignment stop you from doing things you should be able to do? Nobody is perfect, my own posture isn’t top drawer but I have little to no aches and pains. All I say is, don’t let a niggle or an injury prevent you from reaching your goal. Some effects of a postural imbalance can often include lower back pain, low energy, knee pain, inflammation, increased stress and excessive fatigue. These factors can then lead to a decrease in quality of sleep, reduced digestion, reduced total bell-being and also a suppressed functioning of your immune system. Do something about it…..

Bad posture increases:- Muscle strain and tension because our muscles are forced to work harder to fight gravity when we are not balanced, and the tense muscles still don’t relax when the body isn’t balanced. - Risk to get injured when nerves are impinged, when bones slowly grow out of their alignment causing (possible slipped disks) further pain, damage to tendons, cartilage and/or ligaments. - Wear and tear of mainly the joints because they are not moving the way they are meant to, because the muscles stabilising the joints don’t get, over time of imbalance, the correct stimuli activation by the brain. The imbalance causes further breakdown of cartilage and further weakening of ligaments leading to risk to common injuries such as muscle and ligament tears, pulls, strains and sprains.
