There is evidence that people of all ages are experiencing higher levels of back pain and discomfort and much of this is related to poor posture.
As a nation, we live ‘stop/start’ lifestyles; dashing about one minute, full of stress and time pressure and then subjecting ourselves to long periods of sedentary behaviour; driving longer distances, playing computer games and watching television.
Our Chiropractors have recently attended Hemswell Primary School to launch the Straighten Up Uk program in Lincolnshire. The children were given postural advice and practiced the exercises with the expert advise of Charlotte and Anita. "Our hope is to help to prevent the next generation of back pain sufferers." The children were very enthusiastic and had lots of questions for the Chiropractors.
Any Primary schools interested in running the program should contact Lincoln Chiropractic Clinic to arrange a visit on 01522 530645 or E-mail lincolnchiropractic@uwclub.net
