How important is correct posture for overall health?

Correct posture aligns everything in your body. Bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons are all able to function optimally when you sit or stand up straight. Your organs assume their proper placement with good posture.

The best way to improve your posture is to focus on exercises that strengthen your core -- the abdominal and low back muscles that connect to your spine and pelvis.

Posture is the position in which you hold your body upright against gravity while standing, sitting or lying down. Good posture involves training your body to stand, walk, sit and lie in positions where the least strain is placed on ing muscles and ligaments during movement or weight-bearing activities. Proper posture:

Keeps bones and ts in the correct alignment so that muscles are being used properly.

Helps decrease the abnormal wearing of t surfaces that could result in arthritis.

Decreases the stress on the ligaments holding the ts of the spine together.

Prevents the spine from becoming fixed in abnormal positions.

Prevents fatigue because muscles are being used more efficiently, allowing the body to use less energy.

Prevents strain or overuse problems.

Prevents backache and muscular pain.

Contributes to a good appearance.

Living with bad posture can be a dangerous thing. The muscle and ligament imbalances that result from poor alignment can lead to all sorts of problems:

Chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain

Foot, knee, hip, and back injuries

Headaches

Stiffness

Fatigue

Muscle atrophy and weakness

Difficulty breathing

Digestion issues

Impingement and nerve compression

Sciatica

Carpal tunnel syndrome

But we're going to fix that right now!
