…think of it as an M.O.T. for the body.
As a population in general we are exercising more regularly, and staying active for later in life. Therefore the need to look after our bodies must be high up on our list of things to do. Much like we service our cars, a regular check on our body helps us to keep it running smoothly and efficiently.
Most of us will experience joint-related aches and pains at some point in our lives, which often impact on our work or leisure activities. These symptoms are hardly surprising, given many of us spend long hours sat behind a desk or in a car, or maybe performing a job which is quite physically demanding.
These activities place huge demands on our bodies, and as such we need to consider our posture to keep injury free. Muscles in one area may become too tight and other areas get overstretched and weak. These imbalances begin to pull at tendons, ligaments and joints to cause wear and tear and ultimately pain.
Identifying these imbalances as early as possible, helps prevent the pain becoming a chronic issue; and ultimately a limiting factor in our everyday routines.
Common problems related to poor posture include:
- Headaches
- Sore/stiff neck & shoulders
- Back ache
- Stiff joints
- Aching knees & feet
