Pumpkin patches, carving sessions, autumn walks… October is full of fun traditions. But here’s a seasonal truth: many of those activities test your posture without you even realising it.
Think about hunching over a pumpkin, lifting shopping bags, or sitting for long stretches on chilly evenings. Small habits add up, and your spine pays the price. Poor posture doesn’t just cause aches it affects how well your nervous system can communicate with your body.
Your spine is like the trunk of a tree, carrying vital messages up and down. If it’s stiff, twisted, or compressed, those messages don’t flow as freely. Over time, this can affect energy, movement, and even your mood.
Chiropractic adjustments keep your spine moving as it should, giving your nervous system the freedom to do its job. Pair that with conscious posture checks, sitting tall, stretching daily, and moving often, then your autumn can feel lighter, stronger, and more enjoyable.
So yes, enjoy your pumpkins and cosy evenings. Just remember: your posture is part of your performance. Look after it, and your body will thank you.
Just a little reminder from me to you this week.
With love,
Tom
