The Power Of Corrective Exercise Santa Cruz CA

By Donna Wood


Getting to middle age rings alarm bells for all of us. The forty, fiftieth and sixtieth birthdays arrive unbelievably fast. We all wonder where the years have gone! We wonder too, why the firm well-shaped body has degenerated into a sagging abdomen, skin that stretching to the limits from overweight, and joints that complain whenever we get out of bed in the morning. But you dont need to worry anymore, the corrective exercise Santa Cruz CA is designed to take care of your needs.

So the question is then how can you correct your posture? Well, correcting your posture can be a slow process, especially if you've had poor posture for a long period of time. Especially if you have not paid attention to your posture from early on in life.

The fact is that there was a good reason why your teachers often told you to sit up straight in the good old days. The issue is posture. Many of us, lately have slacked off from this regime and thus our posture muscles have also lost their strength. This is why correcting your posture is so important. So, how do you do it?

Typically, posture correcting exercises are exercises that are designed to strengthen your core. Your core are the muscles that hold your spine in place. This means that you need to constantly keep your spine muscles in shape and keep them strong.

For those of you who have that gut you are trying to get rid of, you definitely want to get rid of it. Your gut puts a lot of weight on your mid and lower back, affecting your posture as well. As your gut sags down, the weight of all that fat will pull your spine inward, causing to have back pains and even Sciatica pains.

Hip flexor poses are especially critical in corrective exercise routines because of the inordinate amount of just being in a chair. Opening the hips can create less forward pull on the spine, which can reduce the likelihood of a spinal condition called lumbar lordosis (which is often a reason that many people experience back pain).

Aerobic exercise is very good for relaxation of your muscles. Research shows that people who do the morning walk regularly and are interested in cycling recover soon from low back pain as compared to those who take bed rest.

The same goes for a bench press. It's a very simple exercise in practice but very different in reality. The chest can be difficult to activate when attempting a barbell bench press. Arms, back, shoulders can all be used in this exercise leaving the chest the last muscle to activate. In some cases, I have had to put my clients in some quite unusual positions in order to get them to 'feel' their chest activating and then move into correct alignment gradually. As a result, I get much better results and eventually get my clients moving in the right way.
