Postures Mataro
When standing Maintain healthy postural habits. Frequenting good postures is the best way to prevent spine problems. Observe your silhouette and try to correct your postures. Rest one of your feet elevated. This will prevent you from bending your spine too much. You should not lean forward without bending your knees first.
When sitting Sit up straight. Do not slouch forward. Do not cross your legs when sitting, although you can cross your feet at the ankles. If you spend many hours sitting, use an ergonomic chair with lumbar support. If your feet do not reach the ground when sitting, it is advisable to use a footrest.
When bending, keep your neck and spine as aligned as possible. Be careful with drafts. Do not remain seated with your back to the radiator or air conditioning.
When sleeping or lying down Sleep on your back with your knees resting on a pillow. Do not sleep on your stomach, as this position increases your lumbar curve and harms your neck and shoulders. You can also sleep on your side with your knees bent, with a pillow between them. For your head, do not use pillows that are too high. This could harm your neck, shoulders, and arms.
To get up or sit up from lying down, do not lift yourself from the waist up. First, bend your knees, turn to one side, and use your hands to help yourself sit up.
When going up stairs Step with your whole foot on the steps, not just the arch. When carrying objects Keep heavy objects close to your body. Moving them away increases the strain on your spine. Do not reach for or lift objects above your head.
Walk Walk briskly for at least half an hour daily. This exercise will help you eliminate fluids and keep you fit.
When bending down When bending down, bend your knees. Never flex your spine forward. Use your leg muscles to lift the weight, keeping your spine straight.
When driving To get into the car, first sit on the seat, and then bring your legs into the vehicle. To get out, do it in reverse. Sit with your back supported against the backrest, with an opening of 110º between the seat and the backrest.
Use a cushion or lumbar support. Marc Bony, DC If you want to consult our center, call 93 758 63 14 or Chiropractic first
