Another great post about movement throughout your work day

Movement Monday! How to have happy hips and back in the car. We can be mindful of how we move, sit and stand at work and at home but what about in the car? Most... cars have bucket style seats that encourage a slouch and tuck into your pelvis. And often the leg and foot that are on the gas pedal invites a small twist into your pelvis as well. The solution? Sit on something! To get out of that tucked pelvis and into a happy one, sit on something with enough height to level out the back of your seat so that you are sitting on your sit bones instead of your tailbone and sacrum (which then leads to low back pain among other things). You can see the difference between the two pictures. I've found that a small folded up towel works well. But I've also used at different times, a relatively thin kid's colouring book or the cardboard flap from the top of a cardboard box. Cardboard or a thin magazine are effective because they are firm enough to support you while having a little give. Get creative, experiment and whatever you end up using, your back will feel better for it. As always, feel free to share and comment below. Have a fabulous week everyone, happy moving! xoxo

Always a great idea!
