Work-Out Advice Needed

[Ref_in_Rehab]

Rainmaker,
I moonlight as a physical therapist when not reffing so I hope this'll help. Posture is one of those nasty little habits than can really mess a person up over time!

The first thing to know is if you have any previous back/neck/shoulder problems...if not, then I would begin simply by nagging yourself to sit or stand up straight throughout the day. Think of lifting your breastbone up toward the ceiling instead of squeezing your shoulder blades together to correct your posture. If you're like me, you'll get tired of this after a bit, but keep reminding yourself to be upright and tall and your muscles will catch on soon enough.

As far as exercises go, simple stretches and strengthening for your chest, shoulders (especially shoulder blades muscles), abs, and low back will work. Choose higher numbers of repetitions over heavier weight.

If you need more specifics, drop me a line and I can try to set you up with more info.
