The Mirror Test

The mirror test is simply a way to check your own posture.

Your posture often reveals underlying spinal problems such as vertebral subluxation. It harms a child’s development, impairs an adult’s mental health and compromises your well being.

Poor posture is one of the ways your body attempts to manage stress. Notice the posture of someone who is stressed, scared or angry! If the eyes are a window to the soul, then your posture is a window to your health!

Remember, your posture is one of the first things people notice about you.
For a quick and easy way to check your own posture before others do

Stand infront of a mirror, take a few deep breaths, look up to the ceiling and down to the floor and then return your head back to neutral. Observe the the following:

EARS: should be level with each other and appear symmetrical in size and shape

HEAD/NECK: should be centered over the midline of your body

SHOULDERS: should be level and relatively squared.
