November 20, 2009, Newsletter Issue #61: Correcting Bad Posture

Tip of the Week

Bad posture is something that can be developed over time. It can grow from bad habits, as a child or an adult, in a number of settings. Sitting at your desk in school growing up or in front of a computer at work later in life, bad posture can creep up on you before you realize it is there.

In addition to bad posture, non-ergonomic practices can also result in carpal tunnel syndrome and other discomfort in the back and extremities.

The benefits of massage therapy programs for people with bad posture and carpal tunnel syndrome are huge. While someone’s posture cannot be fixed over night, treatment programs can resolve this problem over time and eliminate much pain and discomfort in the future.

Massage therapy is being used now, not just for relaxation, but to correct the problems associated with these conditions. In the end, they can lead to better range of motion, stronger muscles in the back and extremities, and prevent early onset of arthritis and other conditions which can make normal everyday movements painful.
