First Focus Physical Therapy

Posture!- again: There are many postural changes that happen during and after pregnancy. Good posture equals good alignment, which provides a strong base for your movement everyday.

Postural exercise to be done throughout the day:
- feel equal weight on both your feet
- shift ribs slightly so they are stacked right on top of your pelvis
- Pull your shoulders back lightly, feel a gentle stretch across your collar bones
- Slightly tuck your chin and lengthen the back of your neck- as if a string is pulling you up through the back of your head

You want to feel stable in your daily posture. If your kid was going to run and jump into your arms do you anticipate it would hurt? If you start with good alignment, this will set you up for everything life throws (or jumps) your way
