How Should I Best Implement These Exercises Into My Program?
The best way to start an exercise program is to consult a personal trainer to help out with your form. The main goal behind working out is to get the most out of an exercise without overdoing it! If you are someone with lifting experience it is always best to begin with a compound lift such as a deadlift before working on supplementary lifts such as your Lat pull downs.
Will Strength Exercises Really Help My Posture?
Most of the time postural change is due to stress and incorrect posture either at a desk or job site.
By working out muscles that have overcompensated due to this it is very likely that by strengthening and building the area up that it will help correct posture!
How Does Chiropractic Care Help?
Chiropractic care is known as one of the “postural fixes” when it comes to functional issues. 9 times out of 10 function is what causes unlevelled and swayed like postures.
The goal of Chiropractic care is to eliminate tension within spinal segments and decrease muscular tightness to free up areas of concern!

The Deadlift is quite a functional exercise and can be translated to everyday tasks such as lifting up children and other objects
The Deadlift requires deep control and stabilisation of the abdominal, gluteal, pelvic and lumbar spine musculature. Studies show that because of this, deadlifts can be beneficial in the prevention and reduction of low back pain
