Poor posture?👇🏼

Poor posture is usually consists of forward head position and rounded shoulders.

🤱🏻 Moms are troopers. After carrying the baby in utero, they then carry, nurse/feed, pick up after, and change the baby, etc. – mostly in a hunched position. After giving birth, muscles are weak, tired, stretched or shortened, and need to be rehabilitated back to normal.

👩‍💻 If you’re not a mom, don’t feel left out! These postural imbalances are also found in desk jockeys who hunch over their desks all day, people who have suffered injuries or have weaknesses, and people who have hunched since childhood.


💪🏼 The muscles responsible for scapular/shoulder stability are:

➡️ trapezius
➡️ serrated anterior
➡️ rhomboids
➡️ levator scapula
➡️ latissimus dorsi

I’ve included all these muscles in the 3 exercises I’ve provided today.

❗️Remember that stabilization of muscles doesn’t work alone! You need to have proper mobility at the shoulders and thoracic spine BEFORE working on stability. If you have restrictions in shoulder mobility it is most likely due to tight chest and shoulder muscles. Make sure to address these muscle imbalances and mobility issues first!
