    Perfecting
    posture
    Get in the habit of training
    your nervous and
    muscular systems
    Alan Irving, DC, DACRB

    We are born in the fetal position with our spines rounded forward. As we grow, our spine
    extends in both our lower back and neck, which allows us to look straight ahead, walk
    upright, and use our hands. Unfortunately, modern occupations such as working at computer
    workstations and lifestyles that involve prolonged sitting in cars, eating, and watching TV have
    imbalanced our normal upright position.

    The military posture


    repositioning is as follows:
    1. Flatten your back against a chair
    or wall. Hold for a count of five.
    Repeat 10 times.
    2. Slowly roll your shoulders and
    shoulder blades first back and
    then down. Repeat ten times.
    3. While holding your shoulders
    down let your stomach muscles
    relax and breathe in and out
    from your belly (diaphragmatic
    breathing). Do not let your
    shoulders go up and down.
    4. Tuck your chin in while you glide
    your head backward, keeping your
    eyes and head level. Hold for a
    count of 10 and repeat 10 times.
