POSTURE

Good posture involves training the body to stand, sit, walk and lie in positions that place the least strain on muscles and ligaments during activities. This helps align bones and joints properly, reduces wear and tear on joints, decreases spine strain, prevents the spine from becoming fixed, and prevents backaches and fatigue. Maintaining good posture requires normal joint range of motion, muscle length and strength, nerve flexibility, spatial awareness, and developing good posture habits.

training your body to stand, walk, sit and lie in positions where the least strain is placed on supporting muscles and ligaments during these activities.
Posture is the position in which you hold your body while standing, sitting or lying down. Good posture involves training your body to stand, walk, sit and lie so as to place the least strain on muscles and ligaments while you are moving or performing weight-bearing activities.
Good posture helps you in the following ways: Keeps bones and joints in the correct position (alignment) so that muscles are being used properly. Helps cut down on the wear and tear of joint surfaces (such as the knee) to help prevent the onset of arthritis.
Decreases the strain on the ligaments in the spine. Prevents the spine from becoming fixed in abnormal positions. Prevents fatigue because muscles are being used more efficiently, which allows the body to use less energy. Prevents backache and muscular

Normal Joint Range of Motion. If you have stiff spinal joints they will need to be loosened to allow you achieve good posture alignment. Normal Muscle Length. If your muscles are too tight you won’t be able to attain a normal posture. Your muscles will need to be stretched and relaxed.
Good Muscle Strength. Your muscle needs to be able to pull you into the correct posture. Excellent Muscle Endurance. Your muscles need to able to work for hours on end. Poor endurance is a major factor in habitual poor posture.
Normal Nerve Extensibility. Yes. Your neural tissue needs enough length to allow for normal posture. Good Spatial Awareness. You need to know where you are in space. If you are not sure “how you should feel” with good posture, what hope have you got for achieving it? This is where your physiotherapist can provide you with verbal and visual feedback. Plus they can asset you at home with postural taping or a postural brace.
Perfect Posture Habits. The hardest part is the initial change. After that, you are merely reinforcing the correct habit which will become your normal perfect posture.
