Improving your posture doesn’t require dramatic changes—it just takes small, consistent adjustments. Follow these practical tips to support long-term alignment and reduce strain on your spine.
1. Follow the 90–90–90 Sitting Rule
When seated, aim for this position: feet flat on the floor, knees bent at 90 degrees, hips level with or slightly above the knees, and back upright. Use EloSpine behind your lower back for short intervals to reinforce lumbar support.
2. Align Your Screen to Eye Level
Looking down at screens strains your neck and shoulders. Raise your monitor or phone to eye level using a stand or books to promote better head and neck alignment.
3. Strengthen Key Postural Muscles
Support good posture with strength. Incorporate exercises like planks for core stability, rows for upper back activation, and wall angels for mobility. Finish with a gentle stretch on EloSpine to maintain flexibility.
4. Set Regular Posture Breaks
Every 30–60 minutes, stand up, stretch, or use EloSpine for a few minutes. This helps reset your alignment and prevents long-term strain from sedentary habits.
5. Track Your Progress Visually
Take weekly side-view photos to monitor your posture improvement over time. This creates awareness and motivation to stay consistent with your posture routine.
6. Sleep for Spinal Health
Sleep on your back or side using a supportive pillow that aligns your neck naturally. A quick session with EloSpine before bed helps release tension and prevents morning stiffness.
