As a child, I always remember being told to cross my legs but never once did I do it. It was always the ‘W’ Sit. And now I’m paying the price. Too often these days I see kids sitting in front of the television in a very awkward position, zoned out and unaware of future implications. A one off awkward position won’t do much but repeating the same process over and over, like any bad habit, will cause the bones to ossify into that twisted position. This twisting of the bones is known as torsion. So many parents are unaware.
An ongoing ‘W’ sit can lead to shortening of muscles, which can affect co-ordination, balance and development of motor skills.
But not to worry, Bones change throughout a life time, especially between the ages 0-12 so let’s break those bad habits!
