Basically posture refers to the body's alignment and positioning with respect to the ever-present force of gravity.
Whether we are standing, sitting or lying down gravity exerts a force on our joints, ligaments and muscles. Good posture entails distributing the force of gravity through our body so no one structure is overstressed.

Do I use Ice or Heat!Over my years of practice, our patients frequently use ice and heat improperly to reduce pain.
Purpose of both Ice and Heat
Ice: used to reduce swelling or inflammation by slowing down blood flow. It can reduce pain by dulling or numbing the injured area, but it is not primarily a pain reducer.
Heat: increases blood flow which helps to deliver oxygen and nutrients and remove waste.
