Whether you're working from home, home schooling, or finally catching up on Love is Blind on Netflix, make sure you are checking your posture! Not only does a rounded or slumped posture set you up for neck/back pain and sciatica, but it also decreases your lung expansion. When your shoulders are hunched forward, you are collapsing your chest and not allowing for a deep, full breath, which is SUPER important to keep your lungs healthy! Make sure both feet are flat on the groun...d and hips are slightly higher than your knees. This keeps your pelvis in proper alignment so you are sitting on top of your sitz bones, which allows for the most efficient position of your spine. Your ears, shoulders, ribs, and hips should be stacked on top of each other, and your computer/TV/phone should be slightly lower than eye level. If you have any questions, we are always here to help you in any way that we can. Our clinic will remain open so we can continue to help our patients and decrease the burden on our physicians and front line health care workers! You can make an appointment with one of our therapists at the clinic, OR we are now offering Telehealth sessions from the comfort of your own home (pants required )!

During this time of social distancing, self-isolation, and quarantine we will be bringing you tips to help you #avoidthecoronaslump! Let us know if the...re's anything that you would like to see. We look forward to seeing you in the clinic, via webcam, or through the FB page. Stay healthy and enjoy the sunshine (and wash your hands)! With love, Your Fit Core Fam
