You have all heard how sitting for long periods is bad for your health. To review – hamstrings, glutes, quads, hip flexors and core can tighten and shorten. But ,fascia shrinks and, clumps together like plastic wrap; the two together can cause pain and stiffness leading to immobility.
But, that’s not all – compression of the spine develops and can be the cause of many vertebral and disc misalignment risking pain and compression fractures.
Standing up every hour to walk and/or stretch can have a positive effect on muscles and fascia. But the semi-inflated lumbar ball, available at The Ikier Wellness Center, can have positive lasting outcomes on decompression of the spine.
Proper posture promotes better functioning of all internal organs – heart, lungs, esophagus, pancreas, liver and intestines. (Imagine better breathing, better digestion!) That means more efficient removal of toxins and oxygenation of these organs.
The nutrition and strengthening necessary for building bone depend on alignment of the skeleton for efficient transfer of calcium, magnesium, Vit K2 and Vit D3,etc as well as aligned muscles and tendons to easily transfer the force of muscle on bone.
