No! When it comes to our posture we should never “hang out!”
Whether you’re standing or sitting you need to use your bones and muscles to support yourself and not be lazy by “hanging” by your ligaments. When we slouch we’re allowing our body to hang by the ligaments on the backside of our body, and if done too much, these ligaments get overstretched and deformed.
Simple steps to avoid this are:
- Sit up straight
- Stand up straight
- Put down your phone!
- Avoid sitting for long periods of time (30-minutes maximum)
- Get chiropractic adjustments monthly to keep your spine in proper alignment
