Something we can all relate to…
From a very young age, we’ve been nagged by the elders to sit up straight, don’t slouch, stand tall… how much of those words actually changed your posture? Do you think you have good posture now?
Ultimately, children learn from example, so let me share some tips on how to better your posture.
Firstly, what is good posture?
To be in the optimal position, which places the least stress on our body.
This answer will change depending on whether we are standing, sitting, or lying down.
Standing – Look out for the 3 natural curves in the spine when you look at it sideways, and from the front and back, it should be a solid straight line down the middle. Shoulders and hip should be leveled.
Sitting – Sitting up straight, with shoulders in line with hips, knees bent 90 degrees and foot planted on the floor.
Lying – sideways or on the back is ideal. Avoid lying on the stomach as this puts unnecessary stress on the neck and lower back.

How can we help as Chiropractors?
Chiropractors addresses a person’s posture by correcting spinal alignment, reducing muscle tension and retraining the body to better posture through exercises. Here are a few exercises to do daily for better posture.
Neck Stretch
Wall angels
Superman
We all go through different stresses daily, for example, long hours of sitting or standing, playing sports, sustaining injuries… so regular chiropractic treatment is key to making sure our body is in the ideal alignment to be able to maintain good posture.
If you want to have better posture while sitting, go through your ergonomics.
In conclusion, the impact of good posture on our overall well-being cannot be overstated. As chiropractors at One Spine Chiropractic Singapore, we are here to guide you on the journey to better posture, addressing not only the physical aspects but also the emotional well-being associated with it.
Incorporating simple exercises into your daily routine, such as neck stretches, wall angels, and the Superman pose, can contribute significantly to improving your posture. Additionally, regular chiropractic treatments at One Spine can help correct spinal alignment, reduce muscle tension, and provide essential guidance on maintaining optimal posture.
Remember, the way we sit, stand, and sleep plays a crucial role in our posture. Taking a proactive approach to ergonomics, ensuring proper support while sitting, and choosing the right mattress and pillow are key factors in promoting good posture.

Your journey to better posture starts with small steps, and we are here to support you every step of the way.
