2. MOM WAS
RIGHT… IT’S
DEFINITELY
TIME to QUIT
SLOUCHING!
Welcome to Part II of 10 Back Saving Tips You’ve Never Heard Before.
Integrate Them Into Your Daily Life & You Will See & Feel a Difference!
#1. Avoid Sitting on Stools at All Cost. Never.
Almost anything you sit on, unless ergonomically designed to adjust to your
shape, can be bad for your posture; but stools are the absolute worst. There
is zero back support and the height of the stools usually forces your legs to
be bent at angles that cause your upper body to slouch forward in order to
counterbalance. In fact, if you have good posture, sitting on a stool should be
painful within 15 minutes. Stay away from stools! Find a chair instead, or stand.
#2. Massage the Trapezius Muscles.
The trapezius muscles run from your shoulders to the base of your
skull and they are chronically tight on nearly everyone with poor
posture. When these muscles are tight they draw the shoulders up
and forward, which reinforces poor posture. When loosened (via
massage) the shoulders relax and naturally move down and back,
which reinforces good posture. You can get a professional
massage, or have a friend, relative or spouse do it. If those are not
an option, you can massage your own traps by hand or with an
electric massager. Whatever it takes. Keep these muscles loose!

3. #3. Imagine an Invisible String Running Through Your Center.
This tip is based entirely on visualization (no tools required). While
walking or sitting, imagine an invisible string running through the
center of your body starting at the bottom of your feet all the way
through the top of your head. Now imagine this string is being pulled
upward. When done properly, your posture will IMMEDIATELY
become more upright.
Try it now while sitting. Did you notice how much lighter your body
feels? Did breathing become easier? Feel less pressure on your low
back? There’s a reason for that. Next, try it while walking. When
done right, you’ll feel like your floating on air as your perspective on
the world changes a bit from the slight increase in height. Stay
diligent with this tip and you’ll have beautiful, graceful posture while
others diligently slouch their lives away.
#4. Rotate Your Palms Forward While You Walk.
If tip #3 doesn’t appeal to you, try this one instead. While walking, take a
look at the position of your hands. If you have poor posture, most likely
your palms are facing somewhat behind you. To correct your posture, try
walking with your palms rotated towards the front. This may seem awkward
at first but don't worry about it. You’ll actually look more upright and
graceful, especially when compared to palms facing behind you, which
gives you the caveman/cavewoman appearance. By facing your palms
forward when you walk, it will cause your shoulders to naturally roll down
and back, and instantly give you a more upright posture. This healthy
habit may be difficult to master at first but stick with it. Soon, when you
retrain your body, you won't even have to think about it; and you'll walk
this way all the time looking poised, graceful & confident. This is a subtle
change in biomechanics that can make a huge difference! Try it and see.
#5. Clasp Your Hands Behind Your Back Whenever
Standing.
Sometimes the simplest answer is the best. An easy way to have good
posture while standing is to clasp your hands behind your back as shown.
With your hands affixed in this position, the shoulders naturally draw down
and back. This raises the chest and head making it nearly impossible to
slouch. Plus, this is a bona-fide way to quickly improve your appearance
and make a better public impression. You’ll immediately look dignified,
relaxed and professional, especially when compared to hunching.

4. #6. The Quad/Hip Flexor Stretch:
Common contributors to body misalignment are chronically
tight quadriceps (thigh) and hip flexor muscles (the muscles
between your hip bone & top of the thigh). These muscles
are chronically tight on just about everyone who has poor
posture, especially if you’re a runner or drive a lot.
A simple stretch can be done practically anywhere. Just
balance yourself with one arm, grab the back of your ankle
with the opposite arm, then, using the same hand as the side
of the leg your stretching, gently bring your heal toward your
rear (as shown). You should feel a mild stretch from the
bottom of your thigh to the front of your hip. As you become
more flexible & comfortable with this stretch, pull a little
harder and lean your torso backward slightly to emphasize
the hip flexors. Repeat the same stretch for each leg and
ALWAYS keep your balance. You should do this daily!
#7. Alternate Your Sleeping Position(s).
One of the most understated contributors to misalignment is your
sleeping position. We are creatures of habit & tend to sleep in the exact
same position every night. Placing your body in the exact same
position for 6-9 hours everyday can have a dramatic effect on muscular
alignment (even at rest). For example, in the
picture shown to the left notice how she
sleeps with her torso twisted in the same
direction every night. Over time, this causes
her postural muscles to rotationally misalign,
which reinforces overall body misalignment.
In the picture to the right, notice how she has
“mirror imaged” her normal sleeping position.
Overtime, this new position will rebalance her
muscles & reverse the misalignment from the
other position. This may be very difficult for
you to do at first because the normal position
is comfortable and helps you fall asleep.
However, comfort leads to habituation and habituation leads to
misalignment, which can become permanent. Would a car drive
nearly as well with its entire chassis twisted, as in, say, after an
accident? Certainly not. The car would be totaled. Don’t “total” your
body by sleeping in the same position all the time. Try this. It works!

5. #8. Don’t Carry a Wallet in Your Back Pocket.
Carrying a fat wallet in the same back pocket for years can
permanently misalign your hips & your back. Carry your
wallet in the front pockets. If you don’t like how the bulge
looks, get rid of some contents. You don’t need all that stuff.
#9. Only Use Back Belts/Braces on “Special” Occasions.
In spite of the popularity of back belts/braces, their
constant use can actually do more harm than good.
Although, the extra support helps to stabilize the
back & prevent injury, constant daily use causes
back muscles to weaken because they don't have to
“work” as hard to keep you upright. In other words,
daily activities like standing, walking and sitting help
strengthen your back muscles on a regular basis.
These muscles have to maintain constant tension
against the unceasing downward force of gravity in
order to keep you upright & functioning. This steady
tension exercises them.
When back belts/braces are worn all the time, the
extra support does the job of the back muscles; thus,
making the muscles weaker.
Back belts/braces should ONLY be used on “special occasions”, meaning times where you may
knowingly be subjecting yourself to awkward twisting motions like: shoveling snow, moving
furniture, gardening, carpentry, etc. Additional back support is NOT necessary for “normal”
activities that don’t have this potential because you should easily be able to maintain proper
posture during “expected” type movements. For example, you don’t need a back belt while
exercising (unless it’s for heavy leg press or squats) because all exercise should be done with
proper form; this helps to strengthen your back & reinforce good posture. If you have a specific
medical condition that requires you to wear back support then, of course, do so.
#10. Wear High Heels Sparingly.
The price of fashion can be a steep one in the case of high heels. The
constant forward body lean created by 2-5 inches of lift underneath
your heals can wreak havoc on your posture, along with the potential
to misalign your arches, ankles & hips. High heels should be avoided
at all costs but if you have to wear them, do so no more than once a
week - and the shorter the better. The symptoms may not be bad now
but just wait until your 60 years old. If you’re a dedicated high heel
wearer, this is the most important tip we can give you.
