Chiro visits and a kneeling chair made a big difference for me.

If you can sit in slightly better posture all day long your posture will improve slightly.

I'm trying to see my chiro less and less but classroom chairs and computer use are killing me.

When I sit on a normal computer chair I find I now naturaly gravitate towards hooking my legs underneath and sitting a lot on my hamstrings. Or I find my sitting stance is really wide like a sumo stance.



Also if you go to the gym and tire your muscles completely you go sit in a classroom or at a computer most the time you will be crouching over worse than a normal less fatigue person is.

If you can somehow spend more time lieing down, kneeling, walking and standing I think this is the cheapest way to slowly improve posture.

Great!

chiro is being passive: it's being manipulated. That is great to deal with an acute pain event, but not an effective solution if you're still having to go for the same thing. By getting an ACTIVE practice around the affected area, you will engage far better brain/body patterns and make rapid progress - as the body re-learns how to move. When we move actively, we engage about ten thousand times more neural connections than when we are moved passively
(more here http://www.begin2dig.com/2010/04/ben...y-passive.html)

For your classroom: try getting a seat at the back so it's easy to stand up from time to time. Same thing with the computer. If you have a lap top it's easy to put boxes on a desk and from time to time move the laptop to the boxes so you can work alternately standing and sitting.

As for the kneeling chairs - it's all the same thing - too much being in one posture is the problem. MOVE frequently and you'll feel better; get active in your practice (here's an example http://www.begin2dig.com/2008/09/z-h...dys-joint.html) and you'll feel better

I need to read this. My back pain is unbareable. So bad thinking about seeing a chiropractor.

[shacent]

Did anyone try the Neanderthal routine?

[Squeeks]

Skimmed through the links in the OP couldn't find what I was looking for . Any good links on hip and groin tightness when squatting it makes hitting good depth a hassle when squatting.

[tiffdelano]
