When was the last time you had a good sleep?
On average, humans spend an entire third of our lives sleeping. Just consider that for a moment. ONE ENTIRE THIRD OF YOUR LIFE. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, the average life expectancy (or mortality) of an Australian born in 2020 is 84.6 years as a female and 80.5 years as a male. For those of you who reached for a calculator, let me save you the trouble; that means 25.4 years and 24.2 years of sleep for women and men, respectively.

If so, you might have had a thoracic spine issue.

The best posture for me!
Throughout our years of education in school or growing up at home, we have been told to ‘stand up straight’ or ‘sit up tall’. I’m sure we can all relate to the time where your mother told you off for slumping over or your teacher routinely requesting everyone to sit up tall at assemblies.
This slumping forward posture seems to be what we associate with as ‘incorrect’ posture and the ‘tall and upright’ posture seems to be the accepted ‘correct’ posture. I always hear patients tell me “I know I don’t sit in a good posture’ or “I know my posture is bad”.
BUT, what if I told you that there is no correct posture!?
