Who would have thought that our mothers were so right!

Sit up straight, stop slouching.

Research is now conclusive and showing how poor posture, tech neck posture, excessive sitting computer posture, and texting posture are cumulatively hazardous to our health – In more ways than one.

We used to think that neck pain, upper and lower back pain and headaches were the primary results of postural strain and strain. Here are a few points to consider that have been studied.

Forward head posture with increased upper back curve (folding – see above picture) can lead to:

• 14 times increase in early mortality
• 64% increase in heart attacks with height loss
• The diagnosis of depression
• Restricted lung capacity and asthma
• Poor mood and negative self talk
• Poor proprioception leading to problems with balance
• Digital dementia and decline in brain function
• Underdevelopment of the Posture System – for kids and teenagers!
• Digestive issues
• Circulatory issues

Not only this but Proper Posture is an essential component to you moving better, feeling better, looking better and of course ultimately to living better.

We are here to ACTIVELY change this!

Dr. Dadoun and the team of physiotherapists at the Cloverdale Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Clinic have completed a Posture Certification Course (twice actually!)

We know and understand that better posture is not simply doing pelvic tilt exercises or sit-ups to strengthen the core. Improved posture and posture correction requires a system of progressive exercises that work at your own pace.  It is about Balance, Alignment and Motion. BAM!

With this system in place which you can do in 5 minutes per day – you will require less chiropractic care, massage therapy or physiotherapy.

We have designed a 7-10 week program (depending on progress) that will change your posture and your life. We are using cutting edge software to take front and side pictures to measure your current posture condition and then regularly redo them for active evaluation of progress.  You will then be coached one on one. This system is covered by most extended health insurance plans. Great for all ages! The younger you start the better the habits you develop.

If you are struggling with poor posture in Etobicoke Ontario, call Cloverdale Chiropractic Clinic today for effective posture correction treatment.
