The plank can help to ease round shoulders back into a correct alignment. The good news is that, in most cases, rounded shoulders can be easily fixed or prevented. Just as the muscles and joints have been trained to hunch forward, they can be retrained to find the correct resting position.
How do you realign your shoulders?
- Sit or stand with your head and neck in a straight line.
- Keep your shoulders still as you tilt your head toward your shoulder.
- Use your hand to hold onto or massage your opposite shoulder.
- Or gently pull your head down toward your shoulder.
- Hold for 30 seconds.
Can you correct years of bad posture?
Even if your posture has been a problem for years, it's possible to make improvements. Rounded shoulders and a hunched stance may seem like they're set in stone by the time we reach a certain age, and you may feel you've missed the boat for better posture. But there's a good chance you can still stand up taller.
