DESCRIPTION:

May is Posture Month, a chance to pay attention to how you stand, walk, lift and sit. Proper posture places the least strain on supporting muscles and ligaments during movement and weight-bearing activities. Plus, good posture makes you look confident, healthy, and vital.

Correct posture:

a) Keeps bones and joints in correct alignment to decrease stress on joint surfaces that could result in degenerative arthritis and joint pain.

b) Reduces stress on the ligaments holding the spinal joints together, minimizing the likelihood of injury. It allows muscles to work more efficiently, allowing the body to use less energy and preventing muscle fatigue.

c) Helps prevent muscle strain, and overuse disorders, including back and muscular pain.

Poor posture can lead to excessive strain on our postural muscles and may even cause them to relax when held in certain positions for long periods. For example, you can typically see this in people who bend forward at the waist for a prolonged time in the workplace. Their postural muscles are more prone to injury and back pain.

Several factors contribute to poor posture-most commonly, stress, obesity, pregnancy, weak postural muscles, abnormally tight muscles, and high-heel shoes. In addition, decreased flexibility, a poor work environment, incorrect working posture, and unhealthy sitting and standing habits can also contribute to poor body positioning.
