HERE ARE TWO QUICK TESTS TO DETERMINE
IF YOUR POSTURE IS AFFECTING YOUR PAIN:
|
1. Stand up and rate your pain on a scale of 1-10. Next, pigeon-toe your feet with your toes touching and tighten your thighs. Does this change your pain?
2. Stand normally and interlace your hands behing your head. Pull your elbows back as far as you can. Did your pain increase or decrease?
|
Both of these positions work to change your posture. If either position changed
your pain, then it tells you your posture has something to do with your pain. You
can, therefore, deduce that by returning your body to its proper alignment and
restoring normal joint function, you can positively impact your pain.
