IS THIS YOU with POOR POSTURE? “Oh, that’s NORMAL. Many people have poor posture.” That’s not true! Poor Posture is COMMON but is NOT NORMAL. It is normal that your body responded by trying to compensate for the abnormality of poor posture which have resulted to symptoms like pain, fatigue and poor health… But Poor Posture in itself is NOT NORMAL for the body. Poor Posture can affect your spine and health. Many have experienced lesser back pain or headaches and better focus and health after seeing a Chiropractor to get their spine adjusted and posture corrected.

DO YOU HAVE FORWARD HEAD POSTURE? Ask yourself: How heavy is my head? How much time do I spend LOOKING DOWN & Hunching Forward the whole day? Answer: Too heavy and too much time looking down. No wonder you are always feeling fatigued with headaches, neck and back pain. An adult head weighs about 5kg. When the head is sitting well-aligned above your spine, that 5kg feels manageable, almost weightless. BUT: “With every inch of FHP, it can increase the weight of the head on the spine by an additional 10 pounds (about 5kg).” ~ Kapandji, Physiology of Joints, vol. 3 FHP can cause damaging stress on the spine that may lead to other health issues. Don’t want to carry a head that feels 10kg, 15kg or more? Look up now. Stretch that neck backwards regularly. Time for Chiropractic if your FHP is getting worse… #WfLC #forwardheadposture www.wellnessforlife.com.sg
