Straighten Up Australia
Welcome to
the Straighten Up
Australia (SUA) website!
SUA is an ongoing community service initiative of the CAA, and is an
easy and enjoyable everyday program to improve your health and the way
your body functions.
Consisting of a set of simple exercises and taking just three minutes
to complete, SUA will help improve posture, stabilise core muscle
groups, enhance health and prevent spinal disability.
The exercises can be undertaken by Australians of all ages with a
special program tailored for children.
The exercises can be completed at any time of day but are most
beneficial when they form part of a daily routine. It’s hoped that
over time all Australians will take a few minutes every day to care for
their spinal health, just as they do for their dental health.
Studies conducted overseas indicate that 90% of people who adopted
the exercises as part of their daily routine reported a postural
improvement. Approximately 80% reported that their backs are more
comfortable and that they have better core stability after practicing
the activities for several weeks.
So go on, Straighten Up Australia - it’s Fitness Fun for
Everyone!
