TWCore Clinic, 5 Clayfield Mews, Tunbridge Wells TN4 9PA
Hello there, my name is Ameet, and I’ve been helping people with their posture for over eight years. Most of my clients come to see me because they’re either in pain, they’re unhappy with how they look, or they want to keep their bodies working well as they age - or sometimes all three!
I think most people believe that having good posture is about consciously forcing their body into a better position when they sit, stand or walk. They’re often surprised when I tell them that this is absolutely not what having good posture is about.
How many times have you tried to sit or stand up straight and then a few moments later you get distracted and end up back in your normal position? Furthermore, for many people trying to sit or stand up straighter can feel quite uncomfortable and painful because their bodies are not ready to hold them in this position.
A much better approach is to improve the balance of your ‘posture’ muscles, because it’s the balance of these muscles that determines your body alignment. I give my clients gentle posture correction exercises to do daily. These exercises stretch and strengthen certain parts of their body and get them into better alignment without them even having to think about it. With this better alignment there is less stress on their body and they move better.
It’s not a quick fix and it does take time and effort, but it could help you to end your current pain (if you have any), feel more confident about the way you look, and reduce your risk of future pain and injuries.
