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.

walk, sit and lie in positions
where the least strain is
placed on supporting muscles
and ligaments during these
activities.

3. Posture is the position in which you hold
your body while standing, sitting or

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.

6. 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

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. 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.
