Hey, Magnolia. Dr. John Tiso here from Southern Wellness Chiropractic. I’m here today to talk a little bit about poor posture. Now, we are seeing this more
0:077 secondsand more and more in the clinic and I want to kind of touch base on what we can do to really fix and help with this aspect. Okay. So, we talk about poor
0:1515 secondsposture. A lot of what we do today in this world is bringing us here and even bringing us down. Whether that’s computer, whether that’s kids, whether
0:2323 secondsthat’s pets, whether that’s just cleaning up the house, right? It brings us here into this almost just crunched
0:3131 secondsposition. That’s no good. So, what we want to do is we want to try to stand up straight. Open that back up. But the one
0:3939 secondsbig thing that we’ll do here is we’ll adjust that midback. Okay? That midback through here. Over time, your vertebra start to shift backwards. Okay? So, when
0:4848 secondsI grab the spine here, your vertebrae is going to start shifting backwards a little bit. It’s going to start choking out those nerves. We might start getting pain around the edge here because of the poor posture, tingling around the ribs.
0:5858 secondsThat’s no good, too. So, what we’ll do is we start adjusting that midback and eventually try to get you back into this open position here. On top of that,
1:091 minute, 9 secondswe’re also seeing a lot of this forward head posture. A lot of times when people talk about posture, they’re only talking about shoulders. But if that head has
1:161 minute, 16 secondstraveled past that shoulder enough and we only talk about shoulders, we’re still like this. We still don’t want to be like that, okay? We’re really talking
1:251 minute, 25 secondsabout getting that head up, making sure that ear is straight over that shoulder.
1:311 minute, 31 secondsFor every inch forward that your ear is migrated past your shoulder, it’s adding 10 extra pounds that your muscles, your traps have to hold up. It’s like holding
1:391 minute, 39 secondsa bowling ball on a stick. The further forward it goes, the harder it is for me to hold that bowling ball. It’s the same thing. This is the bowling ball. This is the stick. This is my hand. The farther
1:481 minute, 48 secondsforward we are here, the more tense, the more pressure that starts to build up.
1:531 minute, 53 secondsSo, here at Southern Wireless Chiropractic, we want to help and really fix that issue. That’s going to be with the adjustments. That’s going to be maybe with me recommending some foam
