Many people who visit our Witney chiropractic clinic do so as a result of poor posture.

Over time, poor posture – while both standing and sitting – can lead to chronic back pain and other muscular imbalances. In fact, poor posture is a major contributory factor to many cases of back pain. Correcting it is also the easiest way to avoid and alleviate back problems.

According to our chiropractor in Witney, there are several common mistakes that many people make when either sitting or standing.

These include:

• Slouching in a chair
• Sticking your bottom out
• Standing with a flat back
• Leaning on one leg
• Hunched back and ‘text neck’
• Poking out your chin
• Rounding your shoulders
• Cradling your phone

If you suffer from back pain and regularly make any of the mistakes on the list above, poor posture could just well be the culprit.

Start correcting your posture today. Your body will certainly reap the benefits.
