Good posture and flexibility are essential for overall health and well-being. Physiotherapy exercises can help improve these areas. Here are some effective exercises to enhance your posture and flexibility.

Posture Improvement Exercises

Chin Tucks

Chin tucks help strengthen the neck and upper back muscles. To perform this exercise, sit or stand straight. Pull your chin back towards your neck without tilting your head. Hold for a few seconds and repeat 10 times.

Shoulder Blade Squeezes

Shoulder blade squeezes target the upper back muscles. Sit or stand with your arms at your sides. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and hold for 5 seconds. Repeat this exercise 10 times.

Cat-Cow Stretch

The cat-cow stretch helps improve flexibility in the spine. Start on your hands and knees. Arch your back upwards (cat position) and then lower it, letting your belly drop (cow position). Repeat this motion 10 times.

Seated Forward Bend

The seated forward bend stretches the back and legs, promoting better posture and flexibility. Sit with your legs extended. Reach forward towards your toes, keeping your back straight. Hold for 20-30 seconds.

You will notice better posture and increased flexibility. This will contribute to your overall physical health.
