Recognizing Good Posture

Good and proper posture puts our bodies in a solid position to promote long-lasting health and well-being. For the average person just going about their day, posture is probably the last thing on their mind if at all because many of us are not in tune with our body’s movements. It’s about more than simply sitting up straight and investing in an ergonomic desk chair.  A little self-awareness can go a long way to protecting the spine and preventing back pain, as well as improving athletic performance, vitality, coordination and breathing.

The Chiropractic Patient Acquisition Cycle – Learn it, Love it, Master it
