Welcome to my first official post for “The Posture Project”!
I want to share with you a little of my inspiration for creating The Posture Project. I have a very fulfilling career as a chiropractor. Over my almost 20 years in the profession I have understood more completely and seen first hand the health issues created by poor posture; everything from the obvious, neck and back pain to secondary compensatory problems such as a less powerful skating stride, headaches and poor shoulder mobility to the less obvious, connections with such things as respiration, digestion and self esteem.
Every day in my office I counsel patients on lifestyle changes (many of them very simple) that can empower to change their posture for the better. Up until now I have been limited in the number of people that I can share this information with. Through my on line presence I hope to be able to touch the lives of countless, helping them feel better, play better, look better and even live longer (recent study of people with careers where they sit all day showed a 2 year shorter life span!!).
I hope I can be of service to you and those you care about.
Warmly,
Dr. Angela Macdonald DC
