Got Problems With Posture & Ergonomics?
CEN Chiropractic Can

When it comes to poor posture and poor ergonomics, Carlton/Hurstville and Bexley Chiropractors would probably agree that these two factors are among the main reasons why people come to see us. They are also one of the main reasons why people take time off work, costing companies billions of dollars each year.

Injuries such as:

• Tendonitis
• Rotator cuff
• Lower back and lumbar problems
• Neck and shoulder pains

are all commonplace, but although often very painful, the good news is that by applying simple techniques related to ergonomics and posture, Blakehurst, Hurstville and Bexley residents can improve their well-being and prevent injury.

When sitting, for instance, posture can be improved by

  • Sitting right back in the chair
  • Tilting seat forward slightly
  • Adjusting the seat so that hips are positioned slightly higher than the knee
  • Ensuring feet can sit flat on the floor
  • Moving the chair closer to the desk to avoid stretching
