Many of us now live increasingly sedentary lifestyles and spend a large proportion of our day either sitting at an office desk or travelling on some form of transportation. In addition, we spend more of our free time connected to laptops, tablets and mobile phones which can have a negative impact on our posture.
What are the Health Risks of Dysfunctional Posture?
The prolonged effects of dysfunctional posture, alongside natural ageing and trauma, can lead to muscle tightness, pain, restricted movement and even shallow breathing. If we don’t exercise or stretch frequently enough to counterbalance any imbalances in our structure, the circulation of blood and Qi may become restricted in the affected areas which is not conducive to optimal health.
The Road to Recovery
Health issues associated with structural imbalances have become increasingly commonplace in today’s modern lifestyle and affect our physical, emotional and psychological wellbeing. To address this, we have created a specific program of highly effective holistic treatments, therapies and revival exercises that lead to improvements in posture, musculature and circulation. By concentrating this program over a 5, 7, or 9 night stay, our guests benefit from a focused, personalised approach that addresses their specific structural alignment needs.
Over the next few weeks, our wellness team will be sharing more videos and other content to enhance your posture, flexibility and movement. We hope that you will find these tips useful and experience a renewed sense of vitality after practicing them!
