Models, Improve Your Posture!

Unfortunately bad posture is causing many of us to suffer with health-related problems, such as back ache, which causes approximately five million work absences a year. So if you are looking at ways of improving your back health, your confidence or your look, we recommend trying these top three posture tips from Models Direct…
· Don’t slouch. If you work at a desk, make a point of correcting your posture regularly by straightening your back and ensuring that both feet are flat on the floor. Your shoulders should be slightly back and your buttocks should touch the back of your chair – with weight distributed on both hips evenly. You need to stretch and move around in your chair every 30 minutes. Better still, get up and take a quick stroll around the office.
· See a professional if you are suffering from back pain. A chiropractor may really make a difference if you have an ongoing back problem. Physiotherapy is another affective treatment and you may wish to try core-strengthening exercise such as Yoga, Tai Chi or Pilates. These exercises are fantastic for those people who simply wish to improve their posture. However, if you have a back problem you should check with your doctor before giving any of these techniques a try, just in case they feel that it may not be the best treatment in your individual case.
· Invest in a good, firm mattress or mattress topper. Your mattress can make a huge difference to the health of your back. It is also important to make sure that your car seat is adjusted to suit your needs correctly. Sit with your back firmly against the seat for proper support. Never recline your car seat too far.
