Here are some tips to get you your desired neutral posture throughout the day:

With a simple question you can remind yourself throughout the day to keep your neutral posture in place:

Ask yourself every time you start your day before seeing your first patient of the day: " How is my posture?"

By simply asking this question you will be able to correct it naturally.

We all know what a good and what an incorrect posture is.

We just need a little reminder.

Welcome to My Blog dedicated to #dentalprofessionals - #dentists, #dentaltherapists, #dentalhygienists, #dentalnurses and #dentalassistants who are suffering from #muscularskeletalpain, #RSI from working in #dentistry.

Here are some simple steps:

➡ Sit or stand proud

➡ Elongated spine - imagine someone is gently pulling your head towards the ceiling

➡ Natural curves throughout the spine

➡ Chin parallel to the floor but not forcing

➡ Eyes gazing straight ahead

➡ Shoulders down

➡ Gently squeezing your shoulder blades

➡ This posture should feel natural - not forced. If it feels forced, relax a bit more

➡ This posture should allow you to breathe easily. Allowing full capacity of lungs with inhale and exhale.

➡ Remind yourself about the correct posture throughout the day as often as you can

➡ Important thing is to stay present and remind ourselves of a goof neutral posture throughout the day

➡ About 20% of our work we spend talking to our patients, explaining the disease present, reading / explaining the x-rays, talking about oral hygiene habits, explaining how to use electric or manual brush (#curasept_worldwide #curaprox_uk

) ( #OralB ) ( #sonicareelectrictoothbrush ), interdental brushes ( #tepeinterdentalbrushes ) , floss, flossettes, ( #waterpik ).

So when we do so we can help ourselves by maintaining a correct posture.

AND LAST THING:

NEUTRAL POSTURE IS NOT A STATIC POSTURE
