| Posture and pregnancy |
Spine is the foundation of our health. It carries almost the main load during pregnancy. So it is natural that you notice "pregnant posture" after birth – stomach moved towards and back thrown back.
You have to help your back – posture disorders are not as visible as waist folds but are much more important! Try to rest a little more, lie down at least for 5 minutes when you have an opportunity, take massage if it is not contra-indicated, experienced chiropractor advisable. And don't forget about exercises, as finally straight back is breast appeared from nowhere and belly fallen into nowhere! Everyone knows that swimming is the best way to improve posture.
You can also make next exercise: stand with back towards wall, flatten against it as much as possible, pull in buttock muscles, straighten chest so that back upper part reaches wall. Stand for how long you can. Repeat several times a day.
You can try to put a book on your head and walk like that 15 minutes a day. By the way, there is the simplest way to fix your posture – imagine that you have a balloon under you chin and your shoulders are put on a peg. Do you feel pride of your posture? You won't succeed in stooping in that position. |
