Good posture is good for our mental health

Our emotional and mental states depend on our posture. With smartphones, tablets, and computers becoming a more prevalent part of our daily lives, it's important to be aware of the short and long term damage our precious devices can be causing us.
Here are some great tips on restoring proper posture (see the Huffington Post article here):

• Stretch your chest, roll back your shoulders

• Strengthen the upper back with planking

• Work on your back’s flexibility and your spine’s mobility

• Stretch the hip flexors (tight hip flexors cause hip and back pain)

• Work on strengthening your glutes with squats

• Stretch your hamstrings and calves (forward bend, knees slightly bent)

• Get adjusted for optimal posture

Regular adjustments help keep your spine healthy and flexible.
