Posture for a Healthy Back: What is Good Posture

Healthy standing postureWhat is good posture? 

Proper posture:
1. Keeps bones and joints in the correct alignment so that muscles are being used properly.
2. Helps decrease the abnormal wearing of joint surfaces.
3. Decreases the stress on the ligaments holding the joints of the spine together.
4. Prevents the spine from becoming fixed in abnormal positions.
6. Prevents backache and muscular pain.
7. Contributes to a good appearance.

Proper posture requirements:
1. Good muscle flexibility.
2. Normal motion in the joints.
3. Strong postural muscles.
4. A balance of muscles on both sides of the spine.

With much practice, the correct posture for standing, sitting, and lying down (as described below) will gradually replace your old posture.

What is the correct way to stand?
3. Stretch the top of your head toward the ceiling.
6. The arches in your feet should be supported.

    This is really an interesting post! I actually had a problem with this. Oftentimes I experience neck pains. My friends told me that it’s because of my posture. I also thought likewise since I really have no other medical condition that might cause this. As much as I wanted to change my posture, but I just can’t. These tips sure do help, but I hope you could also post something related to this – the health consequences of improper body posture. Thanks!
