Get up from your chair better

Make a tall proud chest before getting up.

When we sit we all get to that position of “comfort” where our pelvis rounds backward (or posterior tilt).  I tell my patient not to get up from position they have stressed their spine when sitting.  Making a tall chest or elongating the spine put the pelvis and spine in a better position.  This position allows your spine to distribute the load and you to have better access to use your gluts and core.

So before getting up make sure you have a proud chest or tall spine.
