Resources for improving your own health
Restoring your health is a team effort. Here’s what you can do between visits to support the care you receive in our office and create a momentum for healing:

• Avoid the combination of bending and twisting your spine, especially if lifting
• When lifting anything, keep your back straight, bend your knees and use your legs
• Sit in a chair without slouching and avoid crossing your legs
• Avoid excessive neck bending to watch television or read in bed
• Sleep on your side or back, using a pillow that supports your neck
• Drink plenty of water and get enough rest so your body can repair itself
• Stand tall, sit tall and “think” tall to help form new postural habits

Each visit builds on the ones before, so keep your appointment schedule for optimum results.
