As a chiropractor for almost 20 years, the #1 reason people experience neck, back, hip, shoulder pain is poor posture. In our current year of 2022, more people are sitting long hours for work and driving long distances. When unchecked this lead to a hunched posture standing or sitting making the body tighter and weaker. In this workshop we help the live audience, watchers and listeners understand how to check their posture; then how to stretch and strengthen to improve and keep good posture while sitting and standing.
