Here are some tips on correct posture while you’re driving, so that you can be more aware of your posture and minimise traps that may hinder your chiropractic care.

●       Get in carefully, one leg following the other, avoiding sliding in quickly to imbalance the sacrum and pelvis.

●       Make sure your headrest is in the proper position for your head, not too high or too low.

●       Sit with your bottom right up against the back of the car seat; no slouching.

●       Keep your back upright or just slightly back.

●       Avoid leaning your body to one side onto the armrest.

●       Keep even weight on both sides.

●       Avoid leaning neck and upper body forward as if still sitting at a computer with a forward head posture.

●       Males: Don’t sit on your wallet. That can cause an imbalance in your pelvis which will affect the rest of your spine.

●       Be careful not to sit too close to the wheel, nor too far and overstretch your legs.

●       If the car has lumbar support, adjust accordingly. If it does not, consider a lumbar support pillow or rolled up towel. (Ask us to recommend how thick, if you are concerned about this.)

●       Keep your legs with your knees just above your hips while seated.

●       Avoid leg rotating out (hip external rotation) if not using it to change gears.

●       Keep arms relaxed; try not to be too tense and stiff while holding the steering wheel.
