It\u2019s what you do daily that counts. This is true in so much of life.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Posture is important. \u00a0There are things that you have to do on a day-to-day basis that will affect your posture. For example carrying a child, carrying a bag, how you sit, driving a car, the shoes you wear and the chair you sit in. Studies show that sitting at a desk for long periods can lead to a forward head\/neck posture which then can result in back pain.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The key is it\u2019s what you do on a daily basis even hourly basis that makes a difference. So if you can make small adjustments to your day over a long term period this will add up. You cannot think about your posture all the time but you can adjust how you move, lift and sit to make small improvements.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It\u2019s the same with eating. As a dietician and I know that deep changing small things in your diet will add up over the long term. So adding in one extra portion of fruit a day will make a long-term difference to your health.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So the challenge is to find those things that are causing you to have pain or tension in your body. A good way to do this is to go and see someone who specialises in looking at bodies. For example a Pilates teacher or a sports massage therapist such as myself. A postural assessment and a chat about your daily life can highlight some of the things that are going on that are causing the problems. It isn’t always obvious, so the position of your foot can impact your hip for example and what is happening at your hip can affect your shoulders.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"Whilst you may not be able to change all of your daily activities that are leading to push your balances. But you can do is be aware of this and use some daily exercises to help release the tension and reverse the impact on your body.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For me carrying a heavy toddler is not great for my body. I know that I have tightness in my hips and my glutes and in my thoracic \u00a0spine pain in my thoracica spine from this. I can\u2019t not carry my child but I can use regular exercises to help mobilise, stretch and release those areas as well as keeping strong.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So the challenge is to realise which areas of your body need strengthening, which need mobilising and to have a daily self care programme to help. It may only need 15 minutes of your day to keep your body in tip top form. If you don’t have a plan like this then find someone to work with you and to help you create one. Then regular massage, and exercise sessions will help you stay motivated and moving pain free!<\/div>\n
