Do you have neck pain, shoulder pain, and/or low back pain? Do you notice feeling stiff after a long day at work in front of the computer? It is likely due to poor posture!! It’s time to find your “Gut Bucket”!

The “gut bucket” is essentially visualizing your core as a bucket of water balancing on a 3 legged stool. The front leg is you pubic bone and the the 2 other legs of the stool is your ischial tuberositys (aka sit bones). Finding this balance, stacks your vertebrae of your spine and can help reduce muscle tension and therefore pain.

After prolonged period of sitting in front of a computer, most of us start to sag into what is called in the PT world, a forward head and kyphotic posture. Finding your “gut bucket” can help maintain spinal alignment and reduce neck, shoulder, and/or low back pain.

Therapeutic exercises can also help reduce muscular tension and tone to maintain mobility and ease for proper posture.
