OK Tumblr Geriatric Ward, let’s talk about your posture-

there are things you should be doing now to prevent yourself from starting to look like 🥀

Why does it matter? Future you would like to avoid the pain, limited motion, and fall risk that goes along with worsening posture.

What’s the focus?

1. Keep the flexibility in your spine

2. Stretch the muscles in the front

3. Strengthen the muscle in the back

Here are some simple things you can do daily while sitting and when you get up to go into the bathroom or the kitchen

Keep the flexibility by doing these repeated movements: 10 repetitions several times a day

The goal is to give yourself a double or triple chin. Keep your nose pointing forward, don’t let it tip up or down

Thoracic extension- use a chair with a seat back that comes up to the level of your shoulder blades. Try to bend back over the top of the chair without arching away from the seat back and without extending your neck. If the pressure from the top of the chair is uncomfortable you can place a towel there

Stretch the muscles in the front by using a door frame. This one will feel good afterwards

If this isn’t enough of a stretch you can do one side at a time. If you have the right arm up step forward with the right foot and turn slightly to the left. Then do it on the other side.

Strengthen the muscles in the back by squeezing your shoulder blades together for a count of 10 and then repeating 10 times. You can do this several times a day Hint: Don’t lift your shoulder blades up

There are lots more exercises for strengthening your back muscles but this is a good starting point and easy to do. I like doing it while driving

Tips:

• Do the best you can
• If it hurts stop
• Envision future you saying thank you each time you do one of the exercises

NOTE: I can do most of these with the cerebral palsy. In fact, a lot of these little exercises are automatically part of my physical therapy. My problem is I already have hyperlordosis, spine arthritis, and cervicogenic headache. These have helped me at least try to have a posture.

I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW GOOD THIS ADVICE IS

sprawing and magnificent,

alive and evolving.”

Such beautiful and useful prose. 💗

idc if you reblog this from me but reblog it every time you see one of your friends or mutuals have reblogged it

No one has to reblog it, but this has happened to a few people lately and it matters to me. I’d care if this blog vanished.

IVE BEEN SEEING THIS SO MUCH BUT I DONT UNDERSTAND IT??? IF SOMEONE COULD EXPLAIN THAT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL 😭😭

The idea is just that it’s any easy, quick way to remind people you care about them

So, by me reblogging this from you, I’m saying that I acknowledge and appreciate your existence, and I’m glad that you are here! If you deleted your blog or stopped posting, I’d miss you

I hope this helps! :)
