For those of you who read my blog that was posted yesterday, you will recognise the bottom of these 4 pictures. It is a replica of the picture of someone slumped in front of a computer. Although many professionals will say that this damage is irreversible, it is reversible to some degree with the correct management, in my professional opinion.
Having regular McTimoney Chirorpactic treatment will begin to adjust the vertebrae back into alignment. Add to that exercise to encourage the muscles to strengthen to assist in the correct upright carriage. I personally like my clients to do Pilates exercise, as like McTimoney it is a whole body approach rather than just one area. We also review their seating positions and I will soon be teaming up with the personnel at Saxen in Newmilns for their expertise in this area. It is vitally important to have the correct furniture so that you can sit ergonomically to prevent a relapse in sitting habits. Nutrtition is also important to give the body the building blocks it needs to repair the stretched connective tisue ie tendons and ligaments. I recommend Proto-col's Green Magic and Collagen supplements. Green magic is a superfood, and contains high levels of vitamins and minerals as well as other beneficial substances such as Royal Jelly and lactobifudus acidophilos, to aid repair and healing. Investigaions into oral hydrolysed collagen, CH, demonstrate the positive effect on the metabolism of connective tissue. Clinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of CH in the treatment of degenerative joint disease. It seems to have a positive effect on tendons as well as skin function and hydration. In other words, it makes you look younger! : )
Ok so that is all on posture and office furniture for now. I am happy to take suggestions as to what you would like me to blog about next! Obviously it has to be health related, and I am sorry that I cannot talk about individual people and their health problems other than generically. Have a great day and remember, sit tall!
