What’s The Best Way To Correct Your Posture When You Are Seated?

Do you start having back pain when you are sitting for a while?   Here are a few quick tips that can help.

Here are some arm movements to do when you are home or work.  They will help relax the muscles around your chest, shoulders, arms and upper back.

Pretend an arm is a windmill.  If you can, rotate your arm in a full (or pretty full) circle.  Go forward and then backward.  Always do a new movement thoughtfully and gently and see how it feels to you.

Noodle is a type of stretching movement to do at home unless you have a private office at work.  It will help you open and stretch your chest muscles.

Also, imagine there are long, strong cords attached to your breastbone and to the crown of your head and they are pulling you up to heaven.

Do you feel that correction to your posture as you imagine those cords pulling straight up?  Your chest lifts and your natural curve returns to your lower back behind your waist.  🙂  Your head moves back over your body where it belongs.

A rolled towel placed behind your waist when you are seated will also help you sit up straighter.

Now you have some nice and easy ways to correct your posture when you are sitting.
