I like to help my patients find ways that makes it easier to maintain good posture throughout the day. In many cases, we can strengthen targeted muscles so that we naturally sit, stand, and walk with good posture. By having good posture, we avoid a lot of potential future complications and pain.
In the video below, I show you how to use a Total Gym to strengthen the muscles between your shoulders which will help with shoulder blade posture. Below are the steps I outline in the video.
- Step 1: Retract or pinch your shoulder blades together, and hold that throughout the exercise.
- Step 2: Tuck your chin.
- Step 3: Pull yourself up by pulling your arms into your body.
- Bonus Step: Have a work out buddy. In the video, you'll see my dog try to help me out. :)
