Habits

Posture is a habit.  It can be good, it can be bad.  The choice is yours.  The most important aspect of poor posture is being aware of it.  Here’s an easy tip to follow: set an alarm on your phone to go off at least three times per day to remind you to assess how you are standing/sitting.  You will (likely) catch yourself slouching a bit and then be able to stand/sit up straighter.  The more frequently you do this, the stronger your muscles become making your poor posture a thing of the past.  For an in-depth postural analysis and specific postural exercises, please schedule an appointment with Dr. Hartwig; call us at 503-235-7130.
