how to improve your childs posture at home and at school

​We want little brains and little bodies to be working so well that all a child has to do when they enter the classroom or playground is use their clever big thinking and doing brains to learn and play. 

Having optimal postural strength is an important driver for children to be able to use their brain effectively for concentration, focus and engagement; which in turn leads to better learning and more easeful play.

When each area of the lower brain is functioning well it allows the higher, clever cortex to work optimally so a child can think and play well. This is what we want for your child as they continue during the schooling system this year and beyond!

Postural strength is the ability to hold ourselves upright against gravity. Our posture gets strong when the muscles around the spine, shoulders and hips activate correctly and have good endurance.
​Postural strength requires consistent firing of the postural muscles and this in turn leads to beautiful brain stimulation.
As the muscles continue to build strength, the neural pathways in the brain also thrive. This feedback system makes our posture strong and consistent. 

                                               Here are some ways to improve your posture:


  •  ​superman stretches for 30sec everyday to help improve your spinal and brain health
  • ​Stand up straight against a wall with your shoulders, head and chest as close as possible to touching it and ensure that there is not too much of an arch in their spine. This will also help give your child a great sense of what good posture feels like. Take a photo and let them see how their shoulders, spine, neck and chest are all sitting so that they can help adjust their posture themselves.

As Chiropractors, our goal is to support your child to develop better postural strength because a healthy posture will help your child integrate into school with greater ease. A chiropractic check up is a great way to see how your child's posture, school bag and shoes are all contributing to their postural health and development.
