Does your body ache?
Do you find you are always trying to find a comfortable position for your head?
Do your shoulders feel tight and stiff? Does your back ache on a regular basis?
Are you always sore?
The culprit to all that ails you may be your posture!
Instead of telling you all the things that may be wrong with your posture at this point, I’ll tell you what should be happening with it.
The best posture is the one that keeps changing.
So make sure you change your position often and avoid prolonged postures. These include long periods of driving, sitting on a couch, or working at a desk.
If you have to sit, make sure your chair or workstation is adjusted for your body to minimize strain.
Neutral posture starts with your hips and pelvis. From there, your head should be held tall with your chin tucked in. Keep your shoulder blades back and down and your chest up. Basically, think long and tall when sitting or standing.
This will help you avoid slouching.
Hmm…isn’t that just like your mother used to say?
To your posture.
