Learn2 Improve Your Posture
Hey Quasimodo! Straighten up!
Are ya feelin' like a grouch as you slouch on
the couch? Well sit up straight and you'll start
feeling great!
Posture has a lot to do with how you feel and
how others see you. Think about it: if someone
wants to take your picture, do you stand tall and
smile or hunch your shoulders? Presenting yourself
with confidence will have a positive effect on your
overall well being. You'll feel better, look
better, and you'll experience myriad health
benefits.
So get ready to reduce back pain, neck tension,
muscle stiffness and more. By following these
simple steps, you'll be on your way to developing a
healthier, happier, more photogenic you.
Maintaining good posture doesn't mean standing
(or sitting) uncomfortably straight. It has more to
do with knowing how to position yourself properly
while also feeling relaxed--and doing so on a
regular basis. As long as you practice it
regularly, good posture will become second nature.
While you can perform some strengthening exercises to improve your
posture, your health care provider is the person who can best describe
what's right for you. Once you develop a regimen, plan on doing
it daily. Consider it an investment in feeling better now and avoiding
future problems.
Meanwhile, start with learning what basic
posture is all about and how to achieve it when
sitting, standing and even lying down.
