Addressing good habits and ergonomics to improve your posture and physical health

“When new mothers come in, they haven’t been given direction on how to practice proper ergonomics post-birth or post-maternity leave. So I would highly suggest that you talk to your employer to get an ergonomic assessment at work so that you are comfortable with all the shifts that you’re body goes through.”

In this episode, chiropractor, Dr. Max Dekterov joins founder and CEO Kinia Romanowska to talk about addressing good habits and ergonomics, including physical exercise while working from home, work posture, and the correct movements for lifting and carrying your babies.`

Tune in to this episode for insights on how we can perform our daily activities in a safe manner, increase body strength, and improve our overall health.
