Suffering from back, neck or shoulder pain?

Take a look at the following list and assess whether you make any of the common mistakes on a regular basis:

• Slouching in a chair
• Sticking your bottom out
• Standing with a flat back
• Leaning on one leg
• Hunched back and ‘text neck’
• Poking out your chin
• Rounding your shoulders
• Cradling your phone

According to our team at Pure Chiropractic in Staines, these are the most common mistakes that many people make when either sitting or standing – that often lead to chronic back, neck and shoulder pain.

Whether you’re sitting or standing, over time, poor posture can lead to spinal issues and other muscular imbalances. In fact, poor posture is a major cause of many cases of back pain. Correcting it is also one of the most effective ways to avoid and alleviate back problems.

Use the above mistakes as a checklist and ensure you correct the ones you’re making. Doing so will significantly help to keep your back health in check.
