Posture Correction Exercises in NoHo: A Starter Plan

In today’s world of laptops, phones, and endless screen time, poor posture has become a daily habit for many New Yorkers. If you’re in NoHo and noticing rounded shoulders, neck tension, or back fatigue by day’s end, it’s a sign your posture needs attention. The good news? With consistent movement, awareness, and chiropractic care, you can retrain your body to stand taller and feel lighter.

Why Posture Matters
Your posture affects more than how you look, it impacts breathing, circulation, energy, and even mood. When the spine stays out of alignment for too long, muscles and joints compensate, leading to stiffness and pain.

A Simple Starter Plan for Better Posture
Try these exercises daily to help restore balance and alignment:

• Chin tucks: Gently pull your chin back to align your ears over your shoulders.

• Wall angels: Stand with your back against a wall and slowly move your arms up and down, keeping contact with the wall.

• Thoracic extensions: Sit tall and lean slightly back over a rolled-up towel or foam roller.

• Shoulder squeezes: Pinch your shoulder blades together and hold for 5 seconds.

• Cat-cow stretch: On all fours, alternate arching and rounding your spine to improve flexibility.

How Chiropractic Care Supports Posture
Chiropractic adjustments restore natural motion in the spine and correct joint restrictions that pull your body out of alignment. Combined with targeted exercises, adjustments help reinforce healthy posture and prevent tension from returning.

“Posture is a reflection of how your spine moves, once we restore motion, everything else starts to stack up properly again.” — Dr. Michael Atunzu
