Improve Your 'Hunched over the PC' Posture

One of the most neglected aspects of our health is our posture. Amongst all the guidelines on healthy eating and workout methods, this essential facet of our well-being is often overlooked.

Stretch One: The “Superman”

Stretch Two: The “Reverse Superman”

Stretch Three: Hamstrings

Stretch Four: Posterior Chain

Stretch five: Glutes (backside)

Stretch Six: Hip flexors

And that’s the six stretches! Many of my clients have had great results just from improving their flexibility, some have even been on the brink of surgery after exhausting a lot of other options. Correcting the underlying postural imbalances is a great help, but in the first instance these stretches will set you on the right path.
