Brushing Your Teeth

  • As you lean forward at the sink, keep your head and breastbone up and your stomach muscles tight to maintain erect spinal posture.
  • To lean forward, bend through your knees, hips, and ankles and stick out your bottom.
  • Bend your knees and spread out your feet to get lower.
  • To return to an upright position, tighten your bottom and thigh muscles.
