ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Michimich -- Are you suffering from pain in your back, neck, or shoulders?

Are you losing sleep because you can't seem to find a comfortable position?

The problem could be poor posture.

With some adjustments in your environment and easy exercises, you can have good posture that supports your overall health and wellbeing. Your chiropractor can help.

Here are some tips for getting and maintaining good posture:

1. Adjust your workspace – If you sit at work all day, make sure your workspace is set up to support good posture. Your computer monitor should be at eye-level, your feet flat on the floor, and your knees level with or slightly lower than your hips. You may need to adjust the height of your monitor or chair.

2. Stretch every day – Stiff muscles can contribute to poor posture. Maintain your balance, flexibility, and strength by stretching every day. You'll feel the difference! If you're seated at a computer during the day, don't neglect your chest and shoulders. Stretch your chest by standing in a doorway with your arms raised in a Y position and resting on the frame. Lean forward gently to stretch your chest and shoulders.

3. Do core strength exercises – Strong core muscles support good posture. Exercises like planks, sit-ups, and crunches can help you get stronger and correct poor posture.

4. Stand tall – When standing, keep your spine straight, head level, and shoulders back. Try to keep your weight more on the balls of your feet than on your heels. If you stand for long periods, shift your weight periodically.
