your phone more upright to avoid looking down for ex- tended periods of time. Use a hands-free device or voice controlled messaging app. Look down with your eyes and consciously sit with your head back over your shoulders as you text.
2. Sit up straight. Remember your mother telling you to “sit up straight and don’t slouch!” Well, she was right! Make a conscious effort to catch your poor posture habits and work on correcting them. Stand up straight with your head back over your shoulders. Round your shoulders backwards and take a deep breath in. Mimicking this posture, while standing on a whole body vibration plate, can very beneficial. Whole Body Vibration stimulates proprioceptors and mechanorecep- tors throughout your body. These help re-train your brain and muscles to hold the proper posture subconsciously.
3. Stretch and Strengthen. Reverse Upper Cross Syndrome by stretching and strengthening the appropriate muscle groups. Seek out a professional to help you, a Physical Therapist or Certified Trainer is a good person to call. A simple, yet very effective, exercise is the “chin to wall push”. While sitting or standing with your back up against a wall, tuck your chin in while pushing back with your head. Think of giving yourself a double chin and you will understand the motion. Hold for ten seconds and then relax. Repeat three times, three times per week. A good time to do this is in your car while waiting for a red light, try it and let me know how you feel after a couple of weeks!
4. Chiropractic is for all ages. Doctors of Chiropractic spe- cialize in spinal health and well-being and are experts at detecting and correcting forward head posture. Chiropractic is safe and effective for all ages. Start by getting yourself and family checked with a thorough examination and spinal x- rays, if necessary. Consistent chiropractic treatments can help reverse and maintain proper spinal structure.
Text neck may look funny on the outside, but the internal
effects can be devastating and long lasting. Do not wait until you have serious symptoms from this condition. Research has shown that older men and women with a hyperkyphotic posture in their mid to upper back had higher mortality rates. This and other studies show that having good posture is a critical factor to living a long and high quality life.
So listen to your mother, sit up straight and don’t slouch!
