    How do I keep good Posture during Housework?

    Keeping good posture while cleaningUsing and maintaining proper body mechanics is one of the best ways to improve your long-term health.

    Body mechanics is a term used to describe the way we move as we go about our daily activities.

    We often forget to keep good body mechanics when we are in a rush, have developed poor habits, or start to get tired. A common time to fall into this trap is during housework.

    Here are some quick tips to help make activities like sweeping more healthy and comfortable:

    1. Shift your weight from leg to leg when sweeping, vacuuming, mopping, raking, or shoveling.

    2. Tighten your belly muscles to stabilize and keep your spine straight.

    3. Allow the twisting and pivoting to occur at your hips and legs, not your spine.

    4. Keep the work close to you by moving your body rather than twisting or reaching.

    By maintaining good body mechanics during these activities, you will reduce your risk of sore muscles and injury.

    I never had a good experience with physical therapy before I’ve met Hillary. I have some TMJ problems with my jaws. Hillary is an excellent therapist and perfectly professional. After her therapy I feel much, much better! I would highly recommend her to anyone!

    We had a wonderful experience from meeting Doctor Bosworth to our check up after surgery and everything in between. He and his team were sooo kind and supportive throughout the whole process. As one could guess , when you hear your 4 year old has to have surgery and will be put to sleep it’s […]

    Kaitlin did my hearing test and Eleni was my provider but I also had the pleasure of interacting with Abe, Jaida, and Katie. Everyone was thorough, explained everything, and was reassuring. It took out a lot of the anxiety that I usually experience. Thank you to all

    Jeanette Roman

    I self-referred here based on reviews and I was very happy. Making an appointment was easy, I was taken in on time, and Alyssa did a great job with the stubborn ear wax that staff at my PCP office could not remove. Alyssa was also very informative and made me feel comfortable and well cared […]
