8 POSTURAL EXERCISES FOR BETTER POSTURE

8 POSTURAL EXERCISES FOR BETTER POSTURE

Linda Carlsson dipl. Postural Therapist at Caverus has developed a number of exercises that strengthen muscle groups that contribute to a better posture. A good posture means that the ear, shoulder, hip, knee and ankle are in a straight line above each other with an S-curvature in the spine. From the front, shoulders, hips and knees should be parallel to each other. The body should be able to stand upright, without conscious effort. According to Linda, there are many ways to train for a better posture. What we often see as posture training are exercises that strengthen large muscle groups, which appear to provide a better posture but require a great deal of effort to maintain. The muscles are trained to cope with keeping the body in a better posture for a longer period of time, but when the muscle becomes tired and relaxes, the body will fall back to a bad posture...

Best Knee Support for Running

Running is one of the best ways to stay fit and healthy, with runners enjoying the benefits of increased endurance, better fitness and the opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors! However, running is a very stressful activity on the body so runners can be subject to injuries, especially in the knee and ankle joints. Knee Injuries in Runners Runners are vulnerable to a number of different injuries, especially if there is inadequate warm-up and cool down or training intensity suddenly increases. One of the most common ailments in runners is “Runner’s Knee”, which is also known as patella-femoral pain syndrome (PFPS). Runner’s Knee occurs when the kneecap (patella) doesn’t track properly, resulting in pain either under, slightly above or below the kneecap. It can be caused by a number of different factors, including muscular problems if the quadriceps are weak and hamstrings too tight to support the patella sufficiently. It...

What is the difference between an Open Patella and Closed Patella Knee Support?

What is the difference between an Open Patella and Closed Patella Knee Support?

Open and Closed Patella Knee Supports are the most common types of knee supports available. The main difference between them is that in an Open Patella Knee Support the kneecap (or patella) is left uncovered at the front of the knee, helping to relieve pressure on the patella. We have covered the other benefits and difference between the supports in our article below. The knee joint is one of the most complex areas of the body, as it is responsible for co-ordinating joints and muscles as well as helping the body to perform a range of different movements. However, injuries to the knee joint are very common as the joint is subject to the strain of supporting the entire weight of the body during these movements. Knee injuries are common across all sports, from injuries due to the repetitive motions of running through to sprains and strains resulting from the...
