Dem Bones....

So we all know the song "Dem Dry Bones" to some degree.....Have you really considered that how you walk impacts your neck? Good posture is more than just attractive; it really makes a difference in how you feel all over. Leaning or slouching in sitting or standing positions pulls your muscles and skeletal structure to change how you move over all. Walking with your toes out, effects your knees and hips and on up the chain to your neck. Learning how to sit, stand, walk may seem basic, but all too often we compensate without realizing it, and over time this causes so many preventable aches and pains. Start out by simply noticing if you carry your purse or backpack on one shoulder all the time and then change it up to protect your back and neck (hip and knees). Don't lean in the car while you're driving. Walk with your toes facing forward instead of rotating the knee/hip to compensate for a toes diagonal step. Workout with someone who can watch your form and make the necessary corrections to protect your joints and all dem bones and muscles!
