To help you get the relief you need, here are a few\ntips on how to improve the way you stand and sit.<\/p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lift\nyour chest<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>You\u2019ve\nheard the drill instructor in the army movie shouting at his charges to \u201cstand\nup straight, shoulders back, stomachs in, chests out\u201d? Well, it\u2019s actually good\nadvice! Well, bits of it. Pulling your shoulders back and down is certainly the\nmost common advice, but it\u2019s exhausting because it puts a lot of strain on your\nmuscles. By contrast, simply lifting your chest straightens your thoracic spine\nand brings your head, neck and shoulders into a more comfortable position\nwithout it being a whole workout.<\/p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.channspaphuket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/BREATHE.jpg\" alt=\"Breathe, Relax Time\" class=\"wp-image-89\" srcset=\"https:\/\/channspaphuket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/BREATHE.jpg 800w, https:\/\/channspaphuket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/BREATHE-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/channspaphuket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/BREATHE-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/channspaphuket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/BREATHE-420x280.jpg 420w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br><p><strong>Strengthen\nyour lower body<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>You can\u2019t build a house with a weak foundation and you can\u2019t hope to balance your spine properly without a similarly strong foundation. In this case, we mean your hips and legs. If these are weak, you will struggle to hold your body upright throughout the day and will naturally allow your muscles to go slack, collapsing your body into a slouch. Exercises like squats, deadlifts, lunges, box jumps and running all help to improve your lower body strength which will, in time, help you to maintain good posture throughout the day, reducing the need to visit a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.channspaphuket.com\">Phuket spa<\/a>.<\/p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.channspaphuket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/321224_1100.jpg\" alt=\"Relieve Arthritis, Spa in Phuket\" class=\"wp-image-222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/channspaphuket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/321224_1100.jpg 800w, https:\/\/channspaphuket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/321224_1100-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/channspaphuket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/321224_1100-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/channspaphuket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/321224_1100-420x280.jpg 420w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br><p><strong>Stretch\nyour front<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>Standing\nand sitting with bad posture continuous will lead to certain muscles becoming\nused to that position, resulting in short and tight pectoral muscles and hip\nflexors.

Check online or ask a training\nabout exactly which muscles you\u2019ll need to work on and how to do it.
