We often hear that having a good posture is important for good health. We acknowledge poor posture when we notice it formed as a result of bad habits over the years. However, very few people realize its importance. Good posture is the foundation of physical health, musculoskeletal health, and even psychological health. The reason for this is because it allows your body to function as it was designed to, providing an ideal architecture so that you have symmetrical weight distribution throughout your body. Normally, we do not consciously maintain ideal posture. Instead, certain muscles such as our hamstrings and large back muscles do it for us. While ligaments help to hold the skeletal system together, postural muscles when functioning properly prevent forces of gravity from pushing us over. Posture muscles also help maintain our posture and balance during movement.
Here are a few fun and easy tips to help you improve your posture:
