Fix Your Head Posture – Ergonomic Tips | Posture Doctor

Fix Your Head Posture – Ergonomic Tips | Posture Doctor Do you have tips on using a laptop and the best way to hold your head? Yes I do – a lot of them! But let’s keep this simple and focus today just on the head and neck. When I talk about posture, you may already know that I’m not a huge fan of ‘best position’ or expensive ergonomic furniture. The last thing I want you to do, is to become comfortable in your office chair! Ergonomics Bernardino Ramazzini, an Italian Physician born in 1633, was probably best known for his book on occupational diseases (I have a leather bound collector’s addition – geek alert). Ramazzini talks about ‘Diseases of Learned Men’, which I think is brilliant! What he is referring to, are diseases that result from a sedentary, desk-based lifestyle. Ramazzini warns us that prolonged sitting leads to: “… intense strain on the nerve fibres and the whole nervous system when one is engaged in profound study … when the organs are robbed in this way of their nutritive juice” – think slumped over and compressing the abdominal organs and diaphragm – “indigestion, severe flatulence, pallor, and emaciation of the whole body result” and we “… gradually become melancholic.” So even 400 years ago, we understood that prolonged sitting and the resulting postures of our desk-based lives, lead to an overall decline in both physical and mental health. Is it any wonder we live for Fridays?! Forward Head Posture When we sit for long periods of time, we take on fixed postures. Our tired eyes pull us closer to the screen, and our arms and hands, busy out in front of us, begin to round our shoulders and upper back, while our head travels forward – not a pretty sight. Over time, the front chest muscles become short and tight, and the upper back muscles long and weak, making it very challenging to sit long and tall. In time, we may also start to notice declining health and vitality.

I prefer recommending something I call active sitting. Free Posture Video Crash Course! Discover the crazy, simple 3-step formula that will teach you how to improve your posture and flexibility like a pro. You will learn how to hardwire the habit of good posture, reduce forward head and the secret way to stop slouching. It’s 100% free! When we sit, we can once again learn to fidget and wiggle; much like we did when we were school aged. If you watch a child sitting down at the dinner table, it’s as if they have ants in their pants. This is a good thing! A child’s neurology is developing and their central nerve system knows that movement is magic. I am a big fan of desk-based sitting exercises. You can check out a few of these exercises in my online course: Sit Less Move More – Office desk exercise to improve posture. The Ergonomic 3s! Although I don’t have an expensive office set up, I do slightly elevate my laptop using a laptop support – there are a ton of cheap options. You’ll want to elevate your laptop high enough to keep your head from travelling forward and down. Keeping the middle of the computer screen level with the eyes, is a good rule of thumb. Use a wireless keyboard and find a nice puffy bean bag wrist support (aka mouse cushion, wrist rest, wrist cushion – find on Amazon, Staples or Best Buy) and you are ready to go. Update I now use a sit/stand desk. You can check out my standing tips below. https://youtu.be/iqto_HUP1A8 Have you tried standing for work? Hate it or love it? Love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.

5 Fitness Ideas to Create an Amazing Body

5 Fitness Ideas to Create an Amazing Body Today is day one of a brand New Year and that means you get a fresh start on fitness and health. I began day one of 2015 with a gorgeous Florida grapefruit, followed by a swim and then ate breakfast while contemplating my fresh start – my plan for 2015. As with any New Year, musings of financial security, weight loss, gym memberships, falling in love and dream jobs may fill your early 2015 thoughts. I want to actually help some of you create success in the area of fitness and health this year and I have 5 winning ideas for you. First of all, I’d just like to say that I do not make New Year resolutions. Most resolutions are doomed from the beginning because they lack planning and come with huge expectations – two sure ways to guarantee failure. I am someone who gets things done and it’s NOT because I have super powers . I’m actually JUST LIKE YOU, except I’ve mastered the habit of daily exercise. For some of you, this habit isn’t yet consistent, but I’m here to teach you just how to achieve success in the area of fitness and health so you can have an AMAZING body for 2015. Ideas for a fabulous body If you follow these ideas for the next year, I believe you’ll fall in love with YOU! Embrace your fatness. What ever you do this year, please do not take on the goal of weight loss. When losing weight is the goal, you are declaring that your body is not good enough and I don’t know how anyone can achieve success in fitness and health when starting out telling themselves they are fat and then make themselves wrong for being this way. Some of you who desire to lose weight have subcutaneous fat (big bum fat) but not the dangerous fat (visceral – i.e. organ fat). People with subcutaneous fat live longer than skinny girls like me! Sugar If you don’t believe me, make sure you read Dr Robert Lustig’s book Fat Chance. Lustig will convince you that sugar is the real poison and get you embracing your subcutaneous fat. If you really want to trim your body, cut out sugar and go back to fat. Dr Lustig tells us that sugar drives fat storage and makes the brain think it’s hungry. Choose fat not sugar!   What’s your why? Find the real reason. Over 20 years ago I was working for The Sports Clubs of Canada in membership. I only worked there for one year but broke all of their sales records. My first month I sold 140% of my target sales. Why was I so successful? At the time I thought it was luck. I just couldn’t really figure out why I won all their sales awards. I know now, the reason I sold so successfully is that I helped a perspective new gym member find the real reason they wanted to join the gym – their why – and it was never really to lose weight. If you dig deep enough, you will discover your why. Maybe you want to be an amazing mum who is physically active with her children, or perhaps your parents died young and you literally want to live to see your kids grow up and have families. If you don’t feel good in your body, you don’t feel good in life. When I do not exercise daily, I feel gloomy. My ideas dry up and I become a total grump. I exercise because it makes me love life. Find the real reason you desire a healthy body.  Make it ridiculously simply Make it ridiculously simple. I was in the gym last week (I rarely work out in a gym) and a man came in, got on the treadmill for under 10 minutes and then got off, turned to the man on the bike and said, “see you tomorrow.” If commitment and exercise has always been a challenge, start so  simple, you can not fail! I love that this man only did 10 minutes of exercise. At least he went to the gym and did something. Now that he took action, his motivation will grow and maybe tomorrow he’ll do 15 minutes! Free Posture Video Crash Course! Discover the crazy, simple 3-step formula that will teach you how to improve your posture and flexibility like a pro. You will learn how to hardwire the habit of good posture, reduce forward head and the secret way to stop slouching. It’s 100% free! Stop with the mega boot-camp goals and make it totally simple. Be ridiculous! If you are reading this now and haven’t exercised in a long time, I want you to do this right now: Stand up and march on the spot as fast as you can for 60 seconds (count out loud). Did you do it? What ridiculously simple goal could you set for this week?  Permission to play Give yourself permission to play. I remember one time talking to a friend of mine who lives in New York. I told him I don’t go to the gym and he looked dumb-founded. How do you exercise he asked. Hilarious! Have we really become so uninspired that we can’t even think how to move our bodies without an expensive gym membership? Several years ago I bought a Kickbike (City G4) and I love it. Think, scooter for big kids and that’s a Kickbike. If you’ve forgotten how to play, ask your kids for ideas; or better yet, play with them! Failure Allow failure. Let yourself off the hook. I’ve been helping my mum move out of her 4 story town-house into a condo and it has completely exhausted me. I’ve told her she better love the condo because she’s NEVER moving again (nice Paula)! I also agreed to drive her to Florida – 24 hours later. I rolled into January 1st quite exhausted. No exercise for several days and I just allowed the

Are You Skinny Fat? Beware This Toxic Villain

Posture: Finding The Right Doctor I’m skinny (or slim, which I prefer) but I’m starting to wonder if I may in fact be fat. What? Let me explain. Post updated Sept, 2018 Last week I quietly contemplated giving up sugar. I say quietly, in case I grabbed a big piece of cake while I was contemplating, and someone saw me!  I grew up in the 70’s and this is significant for us sugar loving TOFIs – Thin on the outside and fat on the inside. It was during this decade that fructose consumption began to climb. In the late 1960s and through the 1970s several medical investigators from southern England, suggested that CHD (Coronary Heart Disease) was strongly related to refined carbohydrates (white bread, pop, juice, white pasta, white rice, sugar) and a low intake of dietary fiber.  The sugar scandal However, the hypothesis that refined carbs leads to CHD, never gained widespread acceptance. One possible reason was that the sugar industry in the USA paid researchers to publish papers that emphasized the role of SFA (saturated fatty acids – cream, cheese, butter, whole milk) in the cause of CHD while minimizing the role of sugar. This sugar industry scandal only came to light in 2016. At around the same time the sugar/fat debate was taking place, other investigators were studying the relationship between fats and CHD. The evidence that saturated fats were the causative factor for CHD became widely accepted after about 1974.  This led to the first dietary practice guidelines on fat. In response to these guidelines, the food industry modified their food products to meet the demand for low-fat. Introduce low fat EVERYTHING! However, controversy has emerged in recent years regarding the interpretation of medical trials that aimed to prevent CHD through reduction of saturated fats.  The weight of evidence now indicates that SFA play only a minor role in CHD. Low fat everything Removing fat from our food, gave us food that tasted like cardboard, so the food industry had to find a way to make food palatable. So they upped carbohydrate – specifically, refined sugar. Consuming refined carbs leads to a surge of insulin, which causes energy to be stored as fat. This caused widespread obesity and a surge in Type 2 Diabetes.  Decades ago there wasn’t the understanding of good fats, and as a result, all fats were labelled dangerous. In 1993, The Women’s Health Initiative began an 8-year study on 50,000 post-menopausal women. Fat was decreased in their diets to 30% of their total calories. There was no change found in their incidence of heart disease or stroke. In other words, it isn’t the fat making ‘us’ sick. Skinny fat In Dr Robert Lustig’s excellent book, Fat Chance – The Bitter Truth About Sugar, he explains that up to 40% of us skinny types have insulin resistance and 20% demonstrate fatty livers – aka skinny fat! So what is going on here?. Why are skinny people dying of Heart Disease and Diabetes? A calorie isn’t A calorie, after all Not all calories are created equal. There are two types of carbohydrate – starch (peas, potato, rice, grains, beans) and sugar. Starch is made only from glucose, isn’t very sweet and every cell in your body can use this for energy. Fructose(refined sugar) on the other hand, is VERY sweet and gets converted to fat and it is this carbohydrate that Dr Lustig dubbed, The Primary Villain. Fat is good Subcutaneous fat (think “big butt”) is better for your health. Studies have shown that those with more subcutaneous fat live longer than us skinny types. The fat that is dangerous, is the fat inside your abdomen and inside your organs (especially the liver). So is being overweight actually good? YES, says Lustig, “provided the weight is in the right place.” Being too skinny or thin, is trouble for our bones. Maintaining reasonable body weight is better for strong bones. If fat doesn’t cause obesity, then what does? Insulin is the greatest cause of obesity, says Lustig and, “there is no fat accumulation without insulin.” High insulin – from high consumption of refined sugars – is responsible for 75-80% of all obesity, he warns.

You will learn how to hardwire the habit of good posture, reduce forward head and the secret way to stop slouching. It’s 100% free! Four ways to increase body insulin High carbohydrate consumption – think North American breakfasts A sick ‘fatty’ liver Stress – Increases cortisol which raises insulin and makes you feel hungry Medications – steroids and anti-psychotics (to stabilize mood) Are you skinny fat? The easiest way to determine if you are skinny fat (TOFI – thin outside fat inside), if you don’t happen to have an abdominal MRI to hand, is to measure your waist-hip circumference. Lustig warns that a waist size greater than 40 inches for men and 35 inches for women is a good indicator of visceral fat and it’s the visceral fat that counts most when measuring health. An even better measure is your waist-to-hip ratio. A ratio less than or equal to 0.85 for women and 0.9 for men, is considered normal or ideal. You’ll need a tailor’s measuring tape – or a piece of string – simply mark the string with a marker and hold it up to a carpenter’s measuring tape. What causes skinny fat? When energy supply overwhelms the body’s ability to cope, the result is a build up of fat in the liver. What food stuffs cause this dangerous energy overwhelm? Trans fat – man made fats found in many processed foods Corn – animals like beef and pork fed on corn instead of grass Alcohol – however a small daily amount (red wine) has been shown to be beneficial Fructose (refined sugar) – Dr Lustig refers to fructose as “The Toxin” How To Lose Visceral Fat Fructose will turn your liver to fat and will denature

Assertive or Rude? Avoid These 5 Confidence Faux Pas!

Assertive or Rude? Avoid These 5 Confidence Faux Pas! This morning I had a business meeting with my bank manager. As bank managers go, she is lovely. Having shared with her that my mother just sold her house and how stressful that has been, she asked me how much my mother got for her house and then she asked me how much she paid for the new place. And then (wait for it) she asked how my mum was going to invest the money she made. Really?! When does chasing the business become downright rude? I felt she crossed the line. Post updated September, 2018 Tomorrow I am speaking at the Entrepreneurial Women’s Cafe in Toronto on the topic of confidence. Specifically,  5 Ways to Instantly Appear Confident and Win More Clients. So naturally, I’ve been thinking a lot about executive behavior and what makes someone appear confident. The more that I read, the more that I realize there is a fine line between assertive behavior, confidence and being rude. There is another issue here – What I perceive as assertive confidence, may appear utterly rude to someone else. I suppose it is subjective to a degree. Is it possible to be assertive and humble at the same time? con·fi·dence noun a feeling of self-assurance arising from one’s appreciation of one’s own abilities or qualities. as·ser·tive adjective assertiveness is the quality of being confident without being aggressive. Confidence is an inner knowing that we are good enough. We are assertive when we aren’t afraid to wear our confidence. The difficultly seems to be in one’s definition of aggression. ag·gres·sion noun forceful and sometimes overly assertive pursuit of one’s aims and interests. If I use this definition of aggression, then my bank manager was indeed rude, as her assertive behavior was solely in the pursuit of her own aims and business objectives to score another client – my mother! 5 Confidence Faux Pas Handshake: There is nothing worse than a limp-wristed handshake. I attend a lot of business events and I’m always amazed by the number of executives who shake hands with only the tips of their please don’t bit me fingers. If this is you, STOP the spaghetti handshake! Apologising: If I could remove one word from the English language, it would be sorry. This word is way overused – especially by women; Canadian women even more, I’m sorry to say (hee). When we cannot stop apologizing for everything and everyone, what we are really saying is: I’m sorry for being me. Observe how frequently you apologize for just existing and challenge yourself to 7 days without using the word sorry. If you are truly sorry for a wrong, then beef up your sorry, and apologize. Eye Contact: Confident assertive people can hold a gaze. Too much eye contact may feel intrusive, rude or creepy. We need to strike a balance. You know that feeling when you are at party and the person you are speaking to is scanning the room for someone better? It feels awful doesn’t it? Don’t be that person – Learn to listen with your body and use your eyes to connect. People instinctively like those who listen. Strengths: I was speaking recently to a group of female execs on how to be successful with business video. I asked them what they could teach me – what they were really good at – and you know what happened? SILENCE! It was like pulling teeth. Why is it so difficult to share our strengths? Confident people know what they are good at. Take five minutes right now and write down ten things you are really good at. Anything counts – ironing, baking, laughter, motherhood, cleaning, writing. Go for it! Posture: Of course this has to be on my list. When was the last time you met a confident person who slouched? Exactly! When we sit or stand with expansive power postures, we boost our testosterone levels and testosterone is associated with success and the winner effect. I don’t think the subject of assertive behavior is quite as clear-cut and simple as I’ve presented in this post; and do please let me know your own personal thoughts on this in the comments below, but I hope it stimulates some good conversation and debate.   Dr. Paula Moore If you suspect you have a problem with your posture, and you can’t stop slouching, because it hurts when you try, we have got the solution you’ve been waiting for.

Lump On Back Of Neck – What is This Ugly Hump?

Lump On Back Of Neck – What is This Ugly Hump? Do you wear high collars to hide the unattractive lump on the back of your neck? What is this ugly fatty neck lump? How did you get it and how can you get rid of it? Post updated September, 2018 In this post I am discussing the fatty neck lump that develops due to Forward Head Posture (fhp). Fhp is best described as the forward position of the head, relative to the shoulders. Neck lumps There are many other possible causes of neck lumps that I am not making reference to here: The fatty lipoma, the goitre, lymph nodes and cysts, to name but a few.  https://youtu.be/GwCJZ5yGPWQ Cervical kyphosis If you know your head leans too far forward and you also have a lump of fatty tissue on the back on your neck, you may benefit from x-ray investigation, to rule out a reversed spinal neck curve, called as cervical kyphosis. When the neck curve kinks the wrong way, it pushes the head forward. When the head is pushed forward, the lower neck (and spine) become more prominent and vulnerable and the body may lay down fat, in an effort to protect this region – or at least that’s the way I like to simplify and explain a complicated process. Some people with a fatty neck hump, notice a hard bony feel underneath the fat. What they are feeling, is the kinked region of the neck – the bony vertebra that are more prominent and closer to the surface. If this structural deviation has been there long enough, the vertebral discs may begin to thin, the bony vertebrae may begin to develop spurs and the joints may hypertrophy (grow larger). These are all signs of osteoarthritis. Signs & symptoms If you’ve suffered long term symptoms that may include: headaches, stiff and/or painful neck, dizziness, arm and hand tingling or numbness, brain fog, difficulty concentrating, fatigue, round shoulders, teeth clenching, TMJ dysfunction or anxiety, and you’ve had any sort of past trauma that might have affected your neck – car accident, fall from a height, off a horse, a tumble in the playground, off your bicycle, physical violence, fall down a flight of stairs etc., you may find this video relevant: https://youtu.be/qjczk2Fiz70 Dr. Paula Moore If you suspect you have a problem with your posture, and you can’t stop slouching, because it hurts when you try, we have got the solution you’ve been waiting for.

40 is the New 60 – Fit or Flop?

40 is the New 60 – Fit or Flop? Yesterday I spoke to the R.U.M group – Retired and under-employed men and what fun we had! My topic was titled 80 is the New 70. I wish I could say that my generation is following their footsteps, but sadly we are not. 40 is NOT the new 30! So what is going on with us 40-somethings? My clients tell me they feel ancient, and they worry about feeling older than their years. Today’s 40-somethings are aging badly! Sitting Sitting is the new aging disease.  We are sitting longer than we ever have before. In 2012, a group of Australian scientists conducted a study on sitting. They looked at over 200,000 people over the age of 45, and what they found might shock you. They discovered that participants who sat for more than 11 hours a day had a 40% increased risk of dying within the next three years than those who sat for only four hours. Yikes, who sits for only four hours a day?! Posture One of the problems with all this sitting is that it is ruining our posture. When we sit for prolonged periods, our heads travel forward, our backs hunch, and we lose flexibility in our rib cage. When our thorax loses flexibility, we can’t breathe properly. So slouching long-term leads to reduced vital lung capacity. Oxygen When our ability to breathe is impaired and the amount of oxygen to our lungs decreases, we invite health problems: Fatigue Concentration and memory difficulties Muscle pain Coordination problems Heart strain (the heart needs to pump faster to circulate more oxygen) Get a wiggle on Why did the R.U.M gentlemen fair better than most of us 40-somethings? Probably because they grew up climbing trees, playing a sport, and likely walked several miles to and from school every day! Some of us were lucky enough not to grow up with the internet (yeah), but our desk-based mobile lives are quickly changing the appearance of our body’s posture, with harmful effects on our health and well-being. If you can’t do anything immediately about the number of hours you sit, you can become an active sitter. Active Sitting My wiggleosophy is all about active sitting, which involves learning to put a wiggle in your sit – it is quite fun! Ever notice how children sit at the dinner table? Kids fidget, wiggle and stir because they innately know that motion is lotion! Movement is music to their central nervous system. So we could learn a lot from our children. Try these desk wiggles now. Move toward the edge of your chair. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart. Now take loose fists and begin to thump the front and sides of your thighs gently. Do that for 20 seconds, and then do the same to your buttocks. Do this once every hour to improve blood circulation, to wake up tired, achy muscles – feels great! Next, start to wiggle and jiggle your body from top to toe – shake your head and neck gently back and forth, shake through your torso, arms and shake out your wrists, hands, and fingers. Then let the shake travel through your buttocks, thighs, and calves by coming up onto the tips of your toes. You may get some strange looks at the office, but hey, it won’t be long before your co-workers follow your lead. So continue to vibrate, pulsate, shiver and quake through your body top to toe for an entire minute. Free Posture Video Crash Course! Discover the crazy, simple 3-step formula that will teach you how to improve your posture and flexibility like a pro. You will learn how to hardwire the habit of good posture, reduce forward head and the secret way to stop slouching. It’s 100% free! Now stop and observe and feel the energy buzz of your awakened body. It feels amazing. Do this every hour. Bonus – it’s a great way to relieve stress! Fit or Flop? It’s time to take back our 40s – I don’t know about you, but I want to be skiing at 80! If we can’t avoid long hours at the office sitting, we need to do the next best thing and put a wiggle in our sitting.

Snub Fitness Fads – Choose Longevity Over Trends

Snub Fitness Fads – Choose Longevity Over Trends The American College of Sports Medicine’s Worldwide Survey of Fitness Trends revealed High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) as the top fitness fad for 2014. What’s next? Kettle Bell yoga, pole dancing on Power Plates?  Post Updated September, 2018 Exercise has become yet another chore in a long list of to–dos. How the heck did this happen? Exercise is really about body movement and movement should be innately pleasurable. History of movement Around 500 million years ago, animals left the oceans and began to explore the land. We evolved to move our bodies in order to run from threats, farm the fields, make and raise children, hunt for food, draw on caves and shoot arrows. Somewhere along the line, body movement has morphed into body exercise. Free Posture Video Crash Course! Discover the crazy, simple 3-step formula that will teach you how to improve your posture and flexibility like a pro. You will learn how to hardwire the habit of good posture, reduce forward head and the secret way to stop slouching. It’s 100% free! ex·er·cise/noun activity requiring physical effort, carried out especially to sustain or improve health and fitness dancercise (1967) jazzercise (1977) boxercise (1985) zumba (mid 90’s) I believe the solution to creating a lifelong habit of body movement is to stop treating movement like exercise – something to get done. The solution came for me when I decided to leave a successful Chiropractic practice, to take my posture videos online full-time. Somehow leaving my practice to do the work that I love (in posture correction) signaled the end of formal exercise and the beginning of a life-long habit of body movement. I stopped going to the gym and began moving my body every single day. It no longer felt like part of a to-do list.  When you switch from exercise to body movement you will be free – no longer trapped in a search for the next best fitness fad. No longer placing undo stress and strain on your body joints or pounding the pavement with an ex-army sergeant screaming at you for 10 more! The switch doesn’t happen overnight, and some of you will be resistant to the idea of replacing exercise with daily body movement. But you have to admit that body movement sounds more enticing than Boot Camp! New Habits Like any new habit, it takes time for your brain to create new neural pathways. It doesn’t matter what form your body movement takes, just as long as you are purposefully moving your body every day! If you need inspiration, and feel that exercise has become one more chore to add to your never ending list of to-dos, here are three ways to begin your attention from exercise to movement: Stop using the words exercise, fitness or workout and try using the word movement. Begin to wiggle and fidget on a regular basis – on the toilet, waiting in line, on the phone or sitting at your desk. Observe children and notice when and how they move (they skip, hop, run, jump, spin, climb, bounce, leap and dance). It’s fun – give it a try! Body movement is natural and something you will learn to love; until you no longer have to remember to do it – because you begin to feel stronger, looser, vibrant and young! Here is a short list of some of the fitness (exercise) fads we’ve endured: Boot Camps HIIT (high-intensity-interval-training) Zumba Cross Fit Water-aerobics Slimnastics Yogalates Vibrating belts Thighmaster Ab Roller Power Plates Kettle Bells Spinning Pole Dancing – OK this one does sound fun!

Is Your Migraine Masquerading as a Treatable Sinus Headache?

Posture: Finding The Right Doctor Could your sinus headache be masquerading as migraine? If it is, I have the 5-minute headache cure to prove it – but be warned, this is messy! Post Updated September, 2018 Nearly 30 million people suffer from migraine in the United States. Migraines are intensely painful headaches often felt on one side of the head and behind one eye. If you’ve ever been afflicted with headaches – as I was before I corrected my horrible forward head posture – you’d probably try anything to relieve the pain! Recently, following a busy day in practice (25 client treatments), I finished work late and tired. I returned home and had a bit of an unhealthy binge – chips with hummus, bacon sandwich and two small glasses of white wine. That is a very naughty dinner for me. I went to bed around late (around midnight) with a mild headache. I woke shortly after 3am with a real cracker of a headache. I downed some water from my bedside table, assuming I had a mini hangover (I’m a bit of an alcohol lightweight). My headache didn’t improve and I couldn’t sleep. At 8am I dragged my tired achy body out of bed and discovered that being upright eased my headache to some degree. Sinus self treatment I began to massage my sinuses and shoulders. That gave temporary relief, but the headache was creeping up in scale. I made a strawberry and banana smoothie, wondering if my blood sugars were low. Again, this provided only mild relief. I’m not afraid of pain but find it interests me. Thanks to a mother (nurse) who rarely medicated us as children. Thank you mum! By this time the pain behind my right eye and across my forehead was quite substantial – what I believe many would interpret as a migraine headache. I was quite sure I had a sinus headache because applying pressure to my sinuses gave me some relief. Like any good natural health-obsessed geek, I began to research the sinus headache. Looking at a computer with a stinking headache is definitely NOT something I recommend. In my research, I stumbled across: Why Alcohol Causes Sinus Congestion on the popular Livestrong blog. If you don’t fancy the research, it’s the histamine in red and white wine that causes inflammation in your sinuses. Bingo! Let’s take a look at some common sinus irritants. Sinus irritants 1. Wine – My mother asked me once (this is relevant to my story), where I keep the Kleenex and I told her, I don’t have any tissues in the house, because I never blow my nose. The look on her face was priceless! I come from a family of morning honkers.  2. Pets – My sister might do well removing her Newfoundland dog from their bedroom at night. It’s a dog’s saliva and dander, not really the fur, that’s problematic. An air purifier could help. 3. Bedding Fabric – Don’t forget to check the fabric of your bedding. You should look for fabrics that uses a small micron number. Small numbers mean the weave is tight and harder for dust mites to penetrate. No more than 4-5 microns, but ideally two. Nasal Irrigation In my quest to solve the mystery of my cracking headache, I came upon a great article on saline nasal irrigation. Essentially, you flush out the stagnant sinuses using a warm salt water flush. Sea salt is recommended and a dash of baking soda, so it doesn’t sting. Well, it certainly wasn’t painful – just weird and very snotty (sorry but true). Make sure you have loads of tissues close by. Keep your mouth open or you’ll swallow the salt solution and all the mucous. I forgot to keep my mouth open – I learned the hard way. https://youtu.be/5wI31ok1348 If your headache is more right-sided then pour into the left nostril to clear out the right side; but you should really do both sides several times. Neti Pot Use a Neti Pot; they are really easy – and many of these pots (like the one in my video above) come with packages of the exact amount of salt solution you need. My pot had 50 sachets included! You can use just about anything with a pouring spout – syringe, measuring cup. It really doesn’t matter what you choose; just make sure it’s clean (sterile) – give it a good wash out with boiling water first. After the flush, my migraine was immediately 60% better. Wow! One hour later, my headache was 85% better! From someone who never blows their nose, I’ll be buying some Kleenex for the next time I use my Neti Pot! So if you have a headache that you think is a migraine and you feel some pressure in your sinuses, maybe you should give nasal irrigation a try. And do let me know, if it eases your headache. Did your migraine improve? Go away completely after nasal irrigation? I’d love to know how many had a sinus headache masquerading as a migraine.

Make Your Yearly Gratitude List – 5 Crucial Categories

Make Your Yearly Gratitude List – 5 Crucial Categories Today is sun-filled with perfect blue skies and hints of a crisp Toronto winter teasing me on my morning walk along the lake. There is something about a chilly autumn morning that has me lost in thought. Post Updated September, 2018 This morning in particular, I was thinking about the last twelve months of my life and all of the things for which I am grateful.  Last year I moved my entire life of 17 years back to Canada. I did this for many reasons. The biggest reason was the passing of my step father quite  suddenly, leaving my mother on her own. I felt the need to be near my family. On my walk, I started listing the things that have happened over the past year, and noticed that my gratitude list generally fit into one of five categories: Relationships Health Wealth Learning and growth Giving back It occurred to me that a yearly gratitude list is as important, if not more important, than the January goals and resolutions list so many of us feel compelled to make. So this is how you go about creating a yearly gratitude list: 1. Make your list in December – a nice way to conclude your year, before the frenzy of Christmas and New Year, is to spend time being grateful for all that you have. Reflect on your relationships (the people you love and who love you), your health (new habits you’ve created, challenges you have overcome), your wealth (new jobs, direction and ideas, debts paid, profits made), learning and growth (courses taken, things you’ve learned, ambitions achieved) and giving back (donations, helping family/friends and strangers, volunteering, paying it forward). 2. Write it down – I started a mental list on my morning walk and came home and began to write it down on my makeshift Ikea whiteboard (courtesy of Ikea Hackers). There are many benefits to writing things down.You gain clarity on what you want to have more of in your life, and what you can cut out. You gain a new perspective of what’s important to you and what you truly appreciate in your life. You become more self aware, and on melancholic days, you can re-read your list and remember that you have great people and things in your life.  Lifehacker reminds us that regular writing may also have mental health benefits and boost your creativity. 3. Notice the gaps – I noticed my gratitude list is heavy on the learning and growth, and a little light on giving back. The giving back that I’m referring to, is the kind you do when you expect nothing in return. Like my lovely friend Victoria, who has adopted a 9 year old girl through the Children’s Aid Society. At the age of 44 she has become a single mum of a young girl with many challenging issues. Giving back doesn’t have to be so monumental – I was in the drive through recently at Tim Horton’s and when I came up to the counter to pay for my tea and donut, the woman said: The car in front just paid for you. That gesture made my day! 4. Blow your own horn – This is not the time to be modest. This is YOUR gratitude list. If you are not used to observing all the good in your life, I give you permission to spend at least one hour tooting your own horn. I spent many mornings this summer diving into a cool lake to swim to the other side – darn right that goes on my list!  5. Celebrate – Decide on a completion day for your list (and keep adding to it). I’ve decided to complete my list by December 19th. Then perhaps print your list and pin it up until the start of the New Year. Revel in the life you have lived for the last 12 months. And finally, CELEBRATE your achievements, success, relationships, health, wealth and growth! You deserve it. Why not crack open a bottle of bubbly … cheers to you! I’m grateful to all of you for reading my blog and continuing to support Posture Videos. Thank you – Having you with me, makes this journey a lot more interesting and worthwhile!

5 Ways to Get People to Say Yes

5 Ways to Get People to Say Yes I attended a speaker training workshop recently. There were about 30 of us on the course who regularly do speaking engagements and were keen to fine tune our skills. One man, whose business card looked like it had been printed at the local dollar store, approached me (and everyone else on the course) and thrust his card toward my chest, pitching his unsolicited credentials as a speaking coach. Yikes! I formed somewhat of an aversion to this man fairly quickly. What created this powerful NO, and what could he have done differently to get people to say YES? Getting a yes is what psychologists call compliance. Compliance strategies you can use 1. Smile  When you’re smiling the whole world smiles with you. Louis Armstrong A smile is contagious. It improves our mood and can make us appear more attractive to others. One study (1) published in the journal Neuropsychologia reported that an attractive face activated the medial orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) in the brain and that this region processes sensory reward. Responses in the OFC were enhanced by smiling and this suggests that you actually feel rewarded when you see another person smile.  2. Reciprocation – Giving people something for free. If a smile creates a sense of reward for those experiencing your smile, you have in a sense, created a gift. And people like to reciprocate. Whoever is on the receiving end of your gift is then in your debt. I know that sounds cold, but it isn’t meant to. Dean Rieck (author of Copy Blogger) describes this as the Rule of Reciprocity that says: We are all bound — even driven — to repay debts of all kinds. It doesn’t take much to activate the rule of reciprocation, just a genuine act of giving. Here are three that I like to use: email – Following a networking event, I like to email an article I think would be of interest or use to someone I’ve met. Compliment – Be authentic here. I love to notice unique qualities in another. Often, this is something they aren’t even aware of:  An ability to include other people in a conversation; or a terrific sense of style or how they smile using their whole face.  I’m also really good at noticing when someone I know has had a haircut. Men love this, because it’s usually women whose hair gets noticed. Download – If you are giving away something to download, make sure it’s really valuable. I offer a really well written ebook on my website when people subscribe: The 7 Biggest Mistakes People Make When Correcting Their Posture. It took me a good number of weeks to write this and I even hired a designer to do the illustrations. Don’t skimp on your free gifts. Your customers will assume if your free gifts are fabulous, then your paid services and products must be amazing! 3. Be likable – Remember the man – the speaking coach – that showed up at my training day? I’d suggest, he wasn’t very likable. He came across as abrupt, pushy and self-interested. Be personable and curious about the people you meet. Ask questions – not with an agenda – but because you are genuinely interested.  The best way to be likable is to find something you have in common. Build rapport. This isn’t always easy but the best way to find out what you have in common is to ask questions: So tell me, how on earth did you ever decide to launch such a creative business? Notice, I did two things here – I used a compliment AND asked a question, in order to find out what we have in common. Wow, you really you have four children? Do any of them share your love of business? How often do you run? I’ve never been a very successful jogger myself. 4. Stories and social proof – Whether we like it or not, we care a lot about what other people think. What would you do? What do you think? Did it help you? Then we act accordingly, all thanks to the impact of social proof. Free Posture Video Crash Course! Discover the crazy, simple 3-step formula that will teach you how to improve your posture and flexibility like a pro. You will learn how to hardwire the habit of good posture, reduce forward head and the secret way to stop slouching. It’s 100% free! This is how stories can be effective: When I was 43, I decided to leave a successful private practice as a chiropractor and took my posture tips online in the form of Posture Videos on Youtube. In less than 12 months I had a million views and now, many millions more and growing fast. People love this story (I love it too) because it’s true. It tells the story of an ordinary person who did something extraordinary. Perhaps most important, it provides social proof. When people see that what you offer is valued by other people, they are more inclined to trust you. 5. Open posture – No discussion on compliance strategies would be complete, if we didn’t talk about the power of posture. Your posture speaks volumes about you. What is your posture saying about you? Folded arms – cold, on guard and defensive Fidgeting – nervous Slouching round shoulders – lacks confidence Open upright posture looks attractive and confident, and attractive confident people get more yeses. If you don’t know how to stand tall, with open posture, perhaps this will help you: https://youtu.be/PNwyB-GK_SE References:1. Neuropsychologia. 2003;1(2):147-55.

How to Decode the Sneaky Signs of Arthritis

How to Decode the Sneaky Signs of Arthritis Do you feel old but you’re not? Do you worry that you are beginning to look like your mother? Sorry mum, you know I love you. If your knees creak and your neck cracks and you feel like you’re older than your years, you need to read on. Post Updated September, 2018 Even if you do creak, crackle and pop like a bowl of Rice Krispies, you might have arthritis. Here is a list of some of the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis: 1. Age That’s normal for your age – Five words you’ll never hear me say as a practitioner. What is normal anyway? If normal means that you ache and feel stiff in your forties and fifties, then poo poo to normal! Some early wear and tear (aka osteoarthritis) in your forties may be somewhat common (but not normal) if you eat poorly, do not exercise and spend prolonged hours sitting and slouching over mobile devices.  Unfortunately, there is no escape from the effects of age-related sarcopenia or muscle loss. People who are physically inactive lose up to 5% of their muscle mass per decade from about age thirty. Yikes! Sarcopenia even occurs in active people, but not to the same degree. Weight-bearing exercise is vital to keeping healthy bones and strong muscles. Hate the gym? A power walk is more than adequate and even better if you strap a couple 2kg weights to your wrists or ankles. 2. Morning Stiffness Does it take your body a little while to warm up in the morning? Do you wake stiff and inflexible? If this is you, you may have early signs of degenerative discs. During the day, our sponge-like spinal discs reduce in size as liquid is squeezed out with the compressive force of being upright. The tissues that support our spinal alignment (ligaments and tendons) become slack and we feel more flexible during the day. When we sleep, our spinal discs reabsorb fluid and these holding tissues become taught and less flexible. This is more pronounced in a body whose discs already have degenerative changes. 3. Flatback Posture If you’ve spent years sitting behind a desk, driving, doing manual labor, playing sport, and are over the age of 35, you might have a condition we call alordosis or flatback posture, where the pelvis tips backward (posterior tilt) and causes the spinal curves to flatten out. Alordotic-spine.jpg My Advice: Don’t wait until the aches and pains are chronic. If you already recognize some of these signs and symptoms, spend some time now, learning about alordosis and get a wiggle on – Stay active when sitting and learn to fidget, wiggle and stir!

You will learn how to hardwire the habit of good posture, reduce forward head and the secret way to stop slouching. It’s 100% free! 4. Limited Range Of Motion Limited range of motion is a term meaning that a joint or body part cannot move through its normal range of motion. Loss of motion may occur if you damage or injure the bones within a joint. Limited range of motion may be a sign of arthritis and may happen if you have: a dislocation a broken bone an infected/swollen joint nerve or muscular disorders a joint fixation (a chiropractor or osteopath can help here) Home Test: Turn your head as far as you can to the right and then as far as you can to the left. Is there an obvious difference? If you’re not sure, do this in front of a mirror. Next, side bend as far as you can to the right, without moving your pelvis or hips. Allow your fingers to track down the side of your leg. Do the same on the left side. Is there much of a difference? Finally, while sitting down, gently twist your body as far round as you can go to the right and then to the left. Do you have any obvious difference in your range of motion? 5. Your body feels old – but you haven’t even reached 50 I can’t tell you the number of times a student of mine has emailed to tell me they feel old but they are young. If you ask me, I’ll often ask you what you think is wrong. You may actually be the best judge of your own health. If you think you should be feeling better than you do, then you are probably right.

Healthy Chiropractors have These 5 Traits in Common

Healthy Chiropractors have These 5 Traits in Common Were you born to be healthy? Being successful in health requires a mix of attributes that are both innate and learned. There are a few attributes however, that many chiropractors seem to have in common, and we may gain some useful insight, if we study and learn from these.  The chiropractic approach to health involves restoring your body’s ability to self-heal. This is the definition of chiropractic that I most like to use. How many of these characteristics do you have – and how many would you like to acquire? Free Posture Video Crash Course! Discover the crazy, simple 3-step formula that will teach you how to improve your posture and flexibility like a pro. You will learn how to hardwire the habit of good posture, reduce forward head and the secret way to stop slouching. It’s 100% free! 1. Morning exercisers Many successful chiropractors that I know (and I know a lot of them) exercise on waking. It really doesn’t matter when you ultimately decide to exercise. In fact our body’s temperature is lowest in the morning, which means this may be our most vulnerable time, in terms of injury. What matters most is that you exercise and that you aim to exercise daily. My advice: I personally have been a morning Posturecise enthusiast for years and it isn’t because I’ve always been a natural morning person (I haven’t). If I didn’t exercise in the mornings, procrastination would creep in and convince me to put it off until the end of the day. It isn’t the time of day that matters most but the habit and routine. Make a commitment to a lifelong habit of exercise and one that you can learn to love. Related: The 5 Things You Should Quit Doing With Your Body if You Want to be Successful 2. They don’t medicate Many chiropractors avoid medication for day-to-day aches and pains. Their approach is to remove the nerve system interference (what we call a sub-lux-a-tion) that can restore your body’s ability to heal. Most successful healthy chiropractors will choose a spinal adjustment over pain medication. In the US (2010) there were four times more deaths among women from prescription painkiller overdoses than for cocaine and heroin combined. Related: Three Workouts to Increase Pain Tolerance 3. They gain strength in numbers The one thing that drew me to the chiropractic profession in my mid twenties (other than for treatment of my chronic headaches) was that I kept meeting so healthy chiropractors and their equally healthy children. They weren’t just healthy, they were vital, thriving and generally happy people to be around. Their enthusiasm for well-being was infectious and I wanted to be around them. In the US, chiropractic is the third largest primary healthcare profession surpassed only by medicine and dentistry. People (like me) want to spend time with successful, happy, healthy people. Success breeds success. My Advice: Professional speaker Jim Rohn famously said that we are the average of the five people we spend the most time with. A chiropractor I once worked for as a young associate once said to me: Paula, weed your garden. It’s sounded harsh at the time but I knew what he meant. If there are people in your life who consistently drag you down, perhaps it is time to let them go. 4. They have good posture There is something about today’s desk-based lifestyle that makes it difficult to have good posture and those of you with bad posture, worry about looking unattractive. People with poor posture often develop early arthritis and premature aging and as a result, feel much older than their years. Chiropractors know this. We see it everyday in practice. It’s never too late to start improving your posture but you mustn’t wait for even one more day. Start today! 5. They’re not afraid to be unpopular The chiropractic profession began in the late 1800s. Our chiropractic pioneers lead the way and many went to jail fighting for their beliefs: That what they were doing was separate and distinct from medicine. Fighting the orthodoxy is something chiropractors have always had to do. Most of the chiropractors I know are quite used to defending the science and art to which they have devoted their lives. I think Tony Robins said it best: To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others.

Posture – Back to Basics!

Posture – Back to Basics! All you have to do is, do exactly what your mother told you to do. SIT UP STRAIGHT! Sort of. Free Posture Video Crash Course! Discover the crazy, simple 3-step formula that will teach you how to improve your posture and flexibility like a pro. You will learn how to hardwire the habit of good posture, reduce forward head and the secret way to stop slouching. It’s 100% free! Stop slouching and get your elbows off the table was the essence of the good posture advice in my house growing up. But just because the message is simple, doesn’t mean it’s easy to do. Just because you know HOW to do something, doesn’t mean you do it. Take weight loss for example. Most people know how to lose weight:  Eat less Exercise more If knowing what to do was the real problem, then noone  would be overweight, but obesity rates have tripled in North America since the 1980’s. Clearing knowing what to do, isn’t enough. Posture My own experience studying posture for two decades,  has taught me a lot. And one thing is certain – sitting up straight, doesn’t work! That is because there is one main issue, one totally overlooked key element to posture.  The spine There – I’ve said it. Underneath that unattractive slouching posture, there is a bony spine. It’s as if we have somehow forgotten there is a spine and central nerve system, beneath the forward head, rounding shoulders and slouching thorax. Think of your bony spine as a garden hose, and the water running through the hose like the nerves that run messages to and from your brain. Prolonged sitting, low self esteem and past accidents and trauma can all change your spinal alignment and alter the ideal curves in your back. Altered spinal curves obstruct the communication between brain and body and this is how overall health is affected by posture. So if poor posture is really all about the position of the spine, then how does that knowledge help you to improve your own posture? Simply knowing that slouching, having rounding shoulders, a flatback or swayback doesn’t do a lot to help you SIT UP STRAIGHT. Remember that knowing how to lose weight, doesn’t necessarily lead to weight loss. and there is a very simple reason for that. Most people with bad posture have never really had their posture analysed and therefore go about improving their posture the wrong way. Meet Edie Edie is 17 years old and has suffered chronic headaches and migraine since the age of 11. She has had brain scans, blood tests and allergy tests. She has taken her fair share of painkilling medication. When I carried out a Posture Analysis on Edie, it was immediately apparent that Edie held her head cocked to one side. When I pointed this out, she and her mother were shocked that they had never noticed. We took neck x-rays (to see her SPINE) and they confirmed what I had suspected – she had a significant reverse to the ideal curve in her neck (cervical kyphosis). Edie told me, during her medical history that she had never had a trauma but when I pressed and explained that a reverse to the neck curve can only happen through trauma, she said: ‘Well there was actually one but I was only five.’ It turns out that Edie had fallen hard onto her back from a jungle gym at least ten feet high. It was as if a can of worms had been opened and Edie’s mother also recalled a traumatic labour with Edie where the cord was anchored around her neck. Armed with new knowledge, I knew I could help Edie by designing a tailored program of correction specific to her posture and underlying SPINE issues. Remember that chances are good that if you have been everywhere and tried everything with little change to your pain or posture, then you may have forgotten the most crucial part of how to improve your posture – your SPINE!

The 3 Most Unattractive Postures and How to Avoid Them

The 3 Most Unattractive Postures and How to Avoid Them Artists and architects have tried to measure attractiveness in terms of mathematical proportions. Science tells us that symmetry plays a vital role in our perceptions of attractiveness and perhaps this is because symmetry implies we are healthy. Post updated September, 201 The position of your body (your posture) affects the position of your spine. Symmetry is crucial to good posture. When your body alignment begins to stray from our symmetrical ideal, there are uneven loads placed on your body. These stresses and strains can lead to pain, muscle strain, arthritis, ill-health and an unattractive appearance. Symmetry Good symmetry (good posture) allows your body tissues to respond well to stress from gravity and other daily activities. When you lose this symmetrical balance (bad posture), the stresses and strains lead to spinal degeneration, poor health and lost confidence. Free Posture Video Crash Course! Discover the crazy, simple 3-step formula that will teach you how to improve your posture and flexibility like a pro. You will learn how to hardwire the habit of good posture, reduce forward head and the secret way to stop slouching. It’s 100% free! Here are three of the most unattractive postures and what you should do to avoid them: Forward Head  Forward head posture is a problem associated with lifestyle and particularly, our desk-based mobile lives. If you jut your chin forward as far as you can and then try to take a deep breath in, you will find it very difficult. It is very hard to breathe maximally with your head forward, and this forward head position reduced your vital lung capacity – your ability to take in oxygen. Over time, forward head posture causes neck pain, headaches, brain fog and for some, chronic fatigue. If you suspect you have forward head posture, you might benefit from having having a Posture Analysis and learning to perform a basic chin tuck. https://posturevideos.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/The-3-Most-Unattractive-Postures-and-How-to-Avoid-Them-Posture-Videos.mp4 Slouching  Slouching posture, aka iposture is all about habit and lifestyle – the bags we carry, the hours we spend sitting, our office ergonomics, video games and social media. Perhaps this is why standing desks are trending big time! Slouching is often the direct result of prolonged sitting and as Martha Grogan, cardiologist at the Mayo Clinic, warns: Sitting is the new smoking! For me, a daily dose of Posturecise is the answer. Not into daily routines? Well you really need to be, because studies on sitting are beginning to show us that sitting more than 11 hours a day, increases risk of dying by 40% – Yikes! Neck hump I see a lot of this type of posture. The neck hump is the fatty lump of tissue found over the vertebrae located at the base of the neck. It is usually associated with feelings of self-consciousness, as the hump is often noticeable to others. The causes of neck hump include trauma – particularly car accidents resulting in a reversed neck curve – obesity, some medications, hormones and forward head posture.  Neck Hump If you have a noticeable fatty neck hump, you should really make an appointment to see your healthcare provider and/or contact the Posture Doctor. I have found the majority of neck hump that I have seen in private practice, are due to past traumas. When neck x-rays are available, the diagnosis becomes clear – often a reversed neck curve. Don’t be afraid to ask for an x-ray. If you do have a reversed neck curve, you need to know! Unless you rehabilitate the underlying structural alignment, the neck hump will never go away. Further Resources: Neck Hump – Get rid of the fat at the top of your back Your health and body posture speak volumes about you. How symmetrical you are has been shown to affect perceived attractiveness. Not only do you look more attractive with upright posture but you feel more attractive. It is never too late to start improving your posture but the longer you wait, the more difficult it will be to make a significant change. Don’t wait – start today!

Can Mensa Puzzles Improve Your Posture?

Can Mensa Puzzles Improve Your Posture? Puzzles reflect our fascination with the mysteries of life. Every morning over breakfast, I sit down with my Mensa puzzle book that’s designed to give my brain the ultimate workout! Post updated September, 2018 Today I received an email from one of my posture students: My exercise this last week has been fairly lax if I’m honest I have just been doing the hip stretch and hamstrings … My neck is still chronically tight and I was wondering if you may have any last tips for my neck and shoulders to work on please? This was my response – and then I’ll get back to Mensa: Unless you really commit to your neck exercises, you can’t expect your symptoms to improve.  There’s a difference between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstance permit. When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results. Art Turock Mensa So what does Mensa have to do with improving your posture? It’s not really such a big stretch. Doing Mensa puzzles daily is simply a commitment I’ve made to training my brain. It’s just one more way that I can practice the art of making commitments. If I’m successful creating a lifetime habit solving puzzles over breakfast, it’s just another win for me. When I win, I reinforce another positive behavior. Can You Complete This Series? 2     5     9     14     20     ? World Spine Day Today is World Spine Day. Every year on October 16th people from around the world join together to raise awareness on World Spine Day as part of the Bone and Joint Decade’s Action Week. This year’s theme is Straighten Up and Move and focuses on the importance of good posture in maintaining our spinal health.

7 Everyday Things That Can Wreck Your Posture

7 Everyday Things That Can Wreck Your Posture Although some people have the mistaken idea that healthcare professionals like me are born clean-living and healthy, the truth is that I have achieved ideal posture as the only sustainable solution to my own health problems. Post updated September, 2018 I have spent nearly two decades helping people correct their posture and get lasting results, where other approaches have failed. I believe the reason for this, is because I take a holistic approach to healing body posture. If you want good results that last, you must be willing to look at more than your physical lifestyle.Here is a list I made of simple, everyday things that can wreck your posture: Dehydration Incorrect sitting and standing posture, poor nutrition, injuries, athleticism and manual labor can all lead to worn spinal discs. Nutrition is probably the easiest of these to improve. When you fail to drink enough water – dry skin, headaches and sluggish bowels – your body tissues become dehydrated. When the tissues in question, are your vertebral discs, this can lead to disc degeneration. Disc degeneration may ultimately lead to a flatback appearance that is often associated with chronic low back pain. Texting Using your mobile device for extended periods of time can easily lead to neck strain, headaches, and chronic muscle knots. Texting causes our head to bend forward at rather extreme angles and this causes the supporting muscles to remain contracted, in order to hold up the weight of our ten pound head! Anyone who has used a cellphone or tablet for an extended period of time has probably experienced the uncomfortable strain it puts on your upper body.  Try bringing your phone up to eye level.  https://youtu.be/CaG65upfYBE Weight-lifting Not all weight lifting is bad. I’m talking about the muscle men and women who are obsessed with their mirror muscles. The muscles you can see when you look (and pose) in the mirror – chest, abs, shoulders, upper traps, biceps and triceps. The problem is, this type of vanity weight-lifting neglects weights for the opposing muscles on our backs –  lats, lower traps, posterior shoulders, upper or lower back. This can lead to an unattractive slouched appearance. Sleeping Because we spend 1/3 of our lives sleeping, it is important to give some real attention to your sleeping posture. Watch below for my sleeping dos and don’ts: https://posturevideos.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/7-Everyday-Things-That-Can-Wreck-Your-Posture-Posture-Videos.mp4 Sitting Human beings are not designed for prolonged periods of sitting. We should be out chasing wild boar and climbing trees. At the very least, we should be moving regularly, to reduce the impact of our sedentary, desk-based mobile lives. It is important to realise that correct sitting posture does not mean best permanent position. To avoid prolonged flexion of the lumbar spine when seated – and injury to our spinal discs – I like to practice active sitting. Active sitting involves movement and frequent changes of position, while remaining seated. I believe that we can learn a thing or two from our children – Let’s all fidget, wiggle and stir!

You will learn how to hardwire the habit of good posture, reduce forward head and the secret way to stop slouching. It’s 100% free! Shyness Bad posture develops over many years, from bad ergonomic habits. Learned body positions from desk-based occupations, weight gain, manual labor, sporting injuries, activities of daily living (reading, washing, vacuuming) and slouching due to shyness or low self esteem. If you are shy and have developed bad posture for this reason, then lucky you! Yes, I do mean lucky, because being shy, unlike past accidents and injuries, is much easier to transform. You can begin to address shyness by learning the body language of confident people. You can literally fake it, until you feel it! Here are 5 things you should quit doing if you want to be successful improving your confidence. Road rage In the late 90s, therapists in the United States were working to certify road rage as a medical condition. Although it isn’t listed as an official mental disorder, most of us experience aggressive driving from time to time. How many times have I been taking a patient’s medical history, when they tell me they have chronic neck pain, headaches and muscle tension? One of my first questions is always: How many car accidents have you been in? Studies confirm that road rage, is a leading cause of car accidents. All road traffic accidents create the possibility of spinal damage -particularly reversed neck curve. https://youtu.be/Q-jJUY5yv8c I generally consider all accidents over 20mph significant. The injury is often not recognized until many years later, on a neck x-ray. So the next time you get cut off on the highway (that was today for me), take a deep breath, instead of giving them the finger and riding up on their arse! I hear you; easier said, than done.

5 Things You Should Quit Doing With Your Body If You Want To Be Successful

5 Things You Should Quit Doing With Your Body If You Want To Be Successful There is nothing worse than a limp-wristed spaghetti handshake, unless it’s the reverse – the deathly crush of a handshake that says: I’m totally confident, can’t you tell? Ahem, sadly NO! When it comes to making a first impression, Forbes tells us that “these computations are made at lightning speed — making major decisions about one another in the first seven seconds of meeting.” If we have just 7 seconds, we better not screw it up! I’ve spent many years studying posture and this passion was fueled by my story, my own journey from bad posture to good. The one thing that I have learned in my years of helping people correct their bad posture, is that how we look on the outside often mimics exactly how we are feeling on the inside. How others see us in business, likely determines whether or not we get the job, win the client or make the sale. We can’t afford to bumble our chances of success with unattractive, uncertain, body langauge. There are a ton of posture confidence tricks – 10 of which I cover in my book, The Posture Doctor – that will help you improve your professional image. I thought I’d give you the three biggest things you should quit doing with your body (right now), if you want to be successful: Stand Tall Many of you will have forgotten how to stand tall due to the inevitability of our desk-based lives. Try this little exercise to reduce forward head leaning – Bonus, you may actually gain some height! And do make sure you stand tall when you meet someone new. https://posturevideos.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/5-Things-You-Should-Quit-Doing-With-Your-Body-If-You-Want-To-Be-Successful-Posture-Videos.mp4 Stop Fidgeting Seriously though, you’re making me nervous! Stop the nervous habits. Get your hands away from your mouth, your hair, your nails and your lips (that one is mine – I have to really watch I don’t pick at my lips … yes, attractive image isn’t it). Stop the feverish texting. Just be still. Confident people rarely look nervous and fidgety. Look Up  My friends don’t believe me when I tell them I am shy. I am – ask my mother. I learned a long time ago how to fake confidence with good posture. Over time, I have become more confident and you can too. Not looking down is something I still have to practice. Try to meet people’s eyes – in the elevator, passing them in the hallway or on the street. Don’t be creepy (that’s just weird) but a soft gentle gaze with a friendly smile is a winning combination! When it comes to successful body language, you’ve only got 7 seconds to make a first impression – Make gentle eye contact, be still with your body and remember to stand tall and you never know, you just might get that promotion!

You will learn how to hardwire the habit of good posture, reduce forward head and the secret way to stop slouching. It’s 100% free!

5 Ways Focus Can Improve Posture and Get You Noticed

5 Ways Focus Can Improve Posture and Get You Noticed Evidence shows that there is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that the mind impacts the body. Check out these four body sensations: butterflies sweaty palms dry mouth blushing These physiological body sensations seemingly occur without our say-so. Now think of someone you love or feel affection toward. As you do this, you’ll produce love chemistry in your brain – dopamine and serotonin – the brain’s natural version of heroin, and all with only a thought; your focus on love. Placebos Consider the placebo effect that occurs when people taking a so-called “dummy pill” actually begin to experience the effects of the real pill. The people in medical trials who improved on placebos, didn’t heal from the dummy pill but from the belief or focus on their healing. Now let’s take your body chemistry a little farther and use your mind to change your brain. If I asked you to focus on your big toe for instance and all you do is put your attention on your big toe, we could measure electrical and chemical changes in the brain area that correspond to your big toe. It’s all made possible because the brain doesn’t really distinguish between whether you’re doing something or whether you’re just imagining it. So how else could your mental focus influence your body? Focus Motivational change guru Tony Robins says that “whatever you focus on you’re going to find it.” So try this now: Focus on the colour green and take the next 30 seconds to notice everything green in the room that you are in … go on, really do this. How much red did you see? Probably not very much, because you were focussed on blue. Now focus on the following five examples. Only focus your mind and do not actually move your body. Take 20-30 seconds each: Imagine that your body is long and tall Imagine your chest is broad, open and full Imagine yourself smiling and the things you are smiling about Imagine your body is loose and flexible Imagine your body is strong and the things you are able to do If you really do this, you should notice that you feel rather positive about yourself and your body image. Now go ahead and focus again on each step, but this time move your body. Try them individually first and then do all five at once. Take a couple of minutes to do this.

Power Posing If you spend just two minutes a day (recall Amy Cuddy’s Ted Talk on power posing) focusing on your body in this way, you would begin to see changes in your posture. This would certainly affect the way you feel about yourself and very likely change how others see you. Having posture presence will get you noticed and that feels good! https://vimeo.com/1070575732?share=copy#t=0 Improving your posture isn’t just a physical experience.

Forward Head Posture – When To Get X-Rays

Forward Head Posture – When To Get X-Rays Considering the head gains 10 pounds in weight for every inch of forward head posture, it is hardly surprising that your neck and shoulders ache considering you are carrying a watermelon around on top of your shoulders, now is it? Free Posture Video Crash Course! Discover the crazy, simple 3-step formula that will teach you how to improve your posture and flexibility like a pro. You will learn how to hardwire the habit of good posture, reduce forward head and the secret way to stop slouching. It’s 100% free! When the head moves forward (forward head posture) our center of gravity moves forward causing an increase in the muscle effort in the back of the neck and upper back.  But is your forward head posture capable of making you sick? What are the health implications of this type of posture? Rene Cailliet, an American born physician of French ancestry, was one of the pioneers in physical rehabilitation and is well known for his books on musculoskeletal medicine.  You can realign your entire body by moving your head … your head held in a forward position can pull your entire body out of line.  Rene Cailliet He goes on to explain that the vital lung capacity is reduced as much as 30% with forward head posture. Forward head posture also causes compression in the upper neck joints (which causes pain and irritation). In order to prevent your forward head from falling toward your chest, your muscles sustain continual contraction, which causes nerve entrapment and artery compression. It isn’t hard to see that there exists the potential for neurological and vascular complications as a result of forward head posture. What causes forward head? There are many causes of forward head posture and they all require a different treatment approach for best results. Shyness & lost confidence Trauma (causing changes to your ideal neck curve) Osteoarthritis Degenerative disc disease Hyper-kyphosis from Osteoporosis and other spinal conditions Poor posture habits (long-term slouching) When to x-ray? By the time forward head posture becomes a confidence issue, it may already be significant. Forward head posture can be improved with a simple chin tuck but, and this is an extremely important but, the type of exercise that is appropriate, should be determined from the cause. The only reliable means for determining the cause of your forward head posture, is an x-ray. Your practitioner can not, under any circumstance guess the cause of forward head posture with only a physical examination. Because the type of exercises and rehabilitation will differ, depending on the underlying cause of your forward head posture, it is essential to have an x-ray before treatment and/or rehab begins. This, unfortunately is not the typical approach I see in health-care today. https://posturevideos.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Forward-Head-Posture-When-To-Get-X-Rays-Posture-Videos.webm If you’ve already had treatment or exercises for your forward head posture and see no change in your appearance and still have pain, you may need a structural diagnosis and this you obtain through x-ray analysis. If you think you have forward head posture, I’d love your comments on this – drop them in the comments box below.
