Posture

Many of us suffer with back pain at some time in our lives.

Sitting in front of a computer all day, driving for long periods, carrying heavy bags听and slouching on the sofa can all contribute to bad posture.

Our posture often has a part to play in the state of our backs, and other parts of the body.

But what is the best way to improve our posture? Are our parents and teachers correct to tell us to stand up straight? What exercises can help?

If听you suffer from back, neck or leg pain or sciatica,听what is the best way to alleviate the pain?

On this week's edition of Check Up, Barbara Myers will be putting your questions about posture听to Dr Peter Skew, a GP who specialises in treating back pain.

Please contact the programme with your questions or comments on 08700-100-444 on the day of broadcast or e-mail using the Contact Check Up link.
