I’m not sure if it’s a female thing or a parent thing, but I suffer from back pain. \u00a0I suffered from\u00a0lower back pain as a teen and unfortunately, it’s persisted to show up into adulthood. \u00a0Of course, three pregnancies, holding, carrying and breastfeeding three kids hasn’t helped either. I have to say that the worst pain I experienced came most recently, after I gave birth to my third son. The days and weeks following labour were the most painful. To help with my back pain I’ve gotten massages and have sought help of professionals like Chiropractors.<\/p>\n
Another option is to take care\u00a0of your own health by following exercises prescribed by professionals. That’s why I encourage you to check out the new App put out by the Chiropractors of Canada called \u00a0\u2018<\/a><\/span>Straighten Up Canada\u2019<\/a>. Just in time for world spine day taking place October 16th, the App shares 12 simple exercises, for both adults and youth, to help improve back health including maintaining good posture. \u00a0The Canadian Chiropractic Association recommends that individuals complete the exercises, which should take three minutes, at least daily. \u00a0Of course, you can include the excercises as part of your overall daily health routine and do them several time throughout the day including in the morning, during work (“take 3 at 3”) and at night.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n I recently tried out the App and the exercises. \u00a0Even my son decided to join in. \u00a0It was easy and fun and most of all, it helped me become aware of my posture and really helped me relax (even for just three minutes)!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Here are five reasons why good posture is so important:<\/p>\n Beyond detailing\u00a0the exercises, the App also allows you to track your progress and provides you with facts\u00a0on common back-related problems and enables you to find a chiropractor near you. It’s simple to use and is full of great information so make sure to check it out!<\/p>\n\n
