Posture Correction Specialist

What is good posture?

Good posture refers to the correct alignment of your body, while you’re standing, sitting, or lying down. Proper alignment of your body puts the least amount of strain on your muscles and ligaments and requires muscle strength and flexibility, joint mobility, and the right balance of postural on both sides of your spine. Your spine is the housing system of the spinal cord and the nervous system which is the electrical circuit of your entire body that controls the functions of organs, hormones, and the immune system. 

Poor posture habits can develop over time, creating neuromusculoskeletal imbalances that affect your overall health and wellbeing. With posture correction at Loudoun Ideal Chiropractic, Dr. Miok helps you become more aware of your posture habits and designs a program to reestablish a better alignment in your spine to restore and strengthen the nervous system in your body. 

What are the benefits of posture correction?

Dr. Miok offers posture correction at Loudoun Ideal Chiropractic because of its many health benefits. In addition to improving structural alignment for better muscular-skeletal health, posture correction also benefits your emotional health, as well as your body’s energy.  

How you hold your body is closely tied to your emotional state, confidence, self-esteem, joy, fear, sadness, etc., and may play a role in the development of depression and anxiety.

Some of the benefits of posture correction for your well-being include:

• Decreases stress and fatigue
• Contributes to a good and positive appearance
• Increases energy levels and self-confidence

Your posture also affects your breathing, which is the flow of your Prana, also known as Life Force or Chi, that shows how much energy and vitality you have in your life and in your body. Therefore, it also affects the seven major energy centers in your body that are distributed along the spine, referred to as your chakras.
