Dad, Do You Maintain Proper Posture?

It is the month of June, which means it's time for Father's Day! We at Markson Chiropractic love and appreciate all the dads out there. So, we wanted to share some tips on ergonomically completing projects around the house and the benefits of chiropractic care that specifically help the dads out there. Check out these tips to help dad maintain optimal health and make June a great month!

Always Maintain Proper Posture

When doing different projects around the house, it is important to have proper posture and lifting form. While we all want to get our "honey-do" lists done as quickly as possible, we also do not want to get hurt doing it! So for all the dads out there, please lift with your legs, not your back. Do not "bite off more than you can chew" as far as lifting. If something is too heavy, get help or use a hand truck. If you have a history of a "bad back," invest in a lumbar belt to give yourself more support. Try to not look down for prolonged periods of time to avoid straining your neck. It is better to keep everything at eye level. 

Benefits of Chiropractic for Dad

By keeping yourself maintained through chiropractic care, you are helping yourself achieve some great results. Chiropractic care will improve your posture naturally, which will help you with all the things we discussed in the previous paragraph. In addition, it will help you improve your mobility and energy levels to complete the tasks at home. From a "comfort" standpoint (and those who have kids), chiropractic will help keep stress headaches away, improve sleep, boost your immune system, and promote optimal health.

Happy Fathers Day! Please maintain proper posture when working at home, and stay under chiropractic care to achieve optimal health! Schedule a consultation at Markson Chiropractic and start experiencing the benefits of chiropractic care.
