Benefits of Good Posture
Posture is vital for health. We all know this, so why the struggle in this arena?
Reasons for Poor Posture
Lack of awareness
Look around and you will quickly see those who are slouching. It’s been called epidemic in proportion to the number of people suffering from added stress to their bodies and even the degeneration of their spines.

Sedentary lifestyle
How many hours do you sit each day? You probably commute to work, sit all day, and then come home to sit in front of your electronics. Breaks are spent looking down at your phone or devices. Many attempt to combat this by becoming “a weekend warrior” which often can make your situation worse.

Misalignment
When your body is in proper alignment you can effectively resist gravity while increasing flexibility. Otherwise, you may experience back pain, neck pain and headaches. In addition, you may have problems with circulation, digestion, respiration, increased blood pressure and a host of other issues.
My 20 years experience in both wellness and personal injury, along with the application of Postural Neurology, allow me to pinpoint the areas needing attention.
Benefits of Good posture
Posture is the ability to maintain an upright position without interference in your present lifestyle. when sitting, standing or walking.
Reduction in pain
When your muscles are weak, you can stress your ligaments and compromise your nervous system. Input to your brain from that area can be registered as a threat, whether real or not. Average daily activities such a bending over to pick up an object from the floor can suddenly lead to “throwing your back out” or feeling like something has “slipped.” This consistent compromise of the posture system puts you at risk for early decline.
Increased confidence
Notice the posture of an athlete who was the first to cross the finish line – head high, shoulders back, arms extended. The brain identifies this winning feeling when you assume a posture like a super hero. There’s a release of positive hormones making even the most difficult of circumstances more bearable.
Improved daily performance
Good posture affords you the opportunity to improve your health and discover a better quality of life. Give yourself the gift of good health and promote efficient movement and balance at the same time. You can have more energy as your muscles can be used properly and more efficiently.
The return on investment for better posture will be astounding in later years. You cannot afford to neglect your posture, especially when so much of your ability to function is riding on the quality of your postural alignment.
