Proper Posture Prevents Poor Performance

Dr. Glenn Molin and the clinical staff at Ten Oaks Health and Wellness in Glenelg, MD educate our patients that proper posture is essential for optimal performance and vitality. We all can recognize poor posture when we see it; if you look around, you will likely notice more than a few examples. Unfortunately, only a few people have an understanding of the importance and necessity of good posture and, perhaps more importantly, how to correct poor posture.

Why is proper posture important?

  • Proper posture enables us to stand, walk, sit, and lie in positions by utilizing supporting muscles, tendons, and ligaments during all movement and weight-bearing activities.
  • Proper Posture is essential for:
  • Keeping bones and joints in correct alignment so that our muscles are used correctly
  • Decreasing the abnormal wearing of joint surfaces that could result in degenerative arthritis and joint pain
  • Reducing the stress on the ligaments holding the spinal joints together thereby minimizing the likelihood of injury
  • Allowing muscles to work more efficiently, allowing the body to use less energy and, therefore, prevent muscle fatigue
  • Helping prevent muscle strain and overuse disorders, including back and muscular pain

Suffering from Chronic Pain?

Let us help you regain health and enjoy a higher quality of life

Many factors can contribute to poor posture:

  • Stress
  • Obesity
  • Pregnancy
  • Weak postural muscles
  • Abnormally tight muscles

Additionally, chronically poor flexibility, stressful work environments leading to incorrect working postures, and excessive sitting or standing without changing positions can all contribute to poor body positioning. “Text Neck” and advanced postural stress is a growing concern with the increasing demands of extended computer work and too much time on devices without a break.

PATIENT TESTIMONIALS

Two years ago, I suffered from a pretty traumatic health event

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Molin’s for almost two years now and I have to say… Dr Glenn is in a class of his own. I haven’t had a chance to have much clinical interaction with any of the other doctors in the practice, but from the moment I stepped through the door, Dr. Glenn has gone above and beyond in every way possible. Two years ago, I suffered from a pretty traumatic health event, and through the whole experience, his team was sensitive, attentive, and effective in helping to bring a restorative balance to my physical and emotional health. He really looks beyond the surface, and he demonstrates time and time again how much he values me as not only a client but as a person. He takes a very holistic approach, attending to every detail and providing support wherever he can. I really appreciate the professional atmosphere of the practice, and I feel as though I cannot give a strong enough endorsement of him and his team. These guys are amazing people and magicians on the chiropractic table. Five stars from me!

I am seeing Dr Molin for Hip Pain.

My visits with Dr. Molin center are always wonderful. I am seeing Dr Molin for Hip Pain. His treatments are always effective, in that I am pain free for almost a week. Since the pain is from arthritis, it does return, but I am happy with the progress. Dr Molin is an excellent Chiropractor who knows his craft. Besides being a master in chiropractic treatments, he is also very knowledgeable about general health and alternative treatments. He is a good resource and gives good advice in those areas. It is such an honor to have him for a doctor!

I didn’t realize they could help with injuries as well as misalignments.

I have been going to this practice for some time. However, I didn’t realize they could help with injuries as well as misalignments. I strained my foot and was told to wrap it and take Aleve by Urgent Care. However, I still had pain after a week and my hip hurt. I went to Dr. Molin who knew what to do and the treatment helped alleviate the pain in the foot and hip and reduce inflammation. I go back for another treatment and will be given exercises to do. I liked how he explained what was going on and during the treatment asked about pain level before doing manipulations. The friendly staff who greet you and who help with the physical therapy also make the experience great!

These Doctors are real professionals.

I’m a physician a Doctor, and have been seen by Dr. Molin twice, one for my back and another, this time, for a problem in my left hand. These Doctors are real professionals. Why I go to them rather that at a MD, because they take care of you. The MDs say hello to you and send you to a number of tests, Xray, MRI, Lab test before they talk to you. That is what medicine is now, and must of the MDs are employees of hospital or big practices. They do not care about you as we just to do. When I was in practice I talk to a patient for half and hour minimum, and have my diagnostic in that time, then may send tests for confirmation. Dr. Molin is very well trained and will care for you. Recommended them without hesitation.

Dr. Molin was a huge help during my pregnancy

Dr. Molin was a huge help during my third trimester of pregnancy. I was having difficulty even walking around the house from my SPD. With treatment, I was able to comfortably walk and go about my day.

Most pleasant and friendly office

The team at the office is one of the most pleasant and friendly at any office. Too often, doctor offices are filled with admin employees that would rather stare at computer screens or talk amongst themselves. The team is engaging and caring. It completely transforms the usual sterile doctor visit. Little things like addressing patients by name, engaging in casual conversations and remembering repeat patients go a long way to creating a more than comfortable environment.

Dr. Molin saw me on time and did a wonderful job

This crotchety 74-year old suffering from severe arthritis, poor hearing and other age related health problems, tripped over his cat and fell bruising knees, arm and ear. As I experienced sharp pain in my back when getting out of my chair it was clear that I’d done some damage. After a few days treating the pain with a heating pad (learned that this did more damage) there wasn’t any improvement. So, I called to make an appointment with Dr. Molin. Reception was very helpful and managed to get me an appointment for the next day. Forms were sent to me to fill in an advance of my visit. My only criticism is that the form is poorly designed – boxes are too small and, for my weakening eyesight, difficult to read. The boxes are so small that, with my shaky handwriting, I had difficulty filling the boxes. I strongly recommend that somebody redesign their forms and then, using Adobe Acrobat Professional, generate PDF forms which can be filled in and then printed. This isn’t difficult to do. Anyway, Dr. Molin saw me on time and did a wonderful job of diagnosing and treating my problem. Most importantly, he explained, in simple terms that I could understand, what had happened. He was very patient and understanding. After Dr. Molin manipulated my back and his pleasant staff used TENS treatment, I went home and didn’t experience any pain when getting in and out of my chair. Today, a day later, I’m experiencing mild discomfort when getting out of the chair. I’m confident that another treatment scheduled for tomorrow will be effective and it won’t be long before my back is completely cured.

Thank you so much !

It may sound silly, but after my appointment I could sit down at the table with my family and enjoy dinner. Prior to that, I spent several days lying down on the floor due to excruciating back and sciatic pain. My only regret was not going to then sooner. Thank you so much!

Each patient really matters as a person. They take your overall good health as their goal. It is an added benefit that Dr. Molin is intuitive about how to get the best results. He takes the time to assess your mood and stress level as well as your physical state. My improving health is proof that his methods work wonders.
