Stop what you’re doing right now. Look at your posture. Are you on your phone? Slouched on the couch? curled up under the covers?
Your posture is one of the first things other people notice about you and can affect so much more in your life than just spinal health. Healthy posture has been linked to better breathing and has even been shown to affect your confidence.
Did you know, slouching decreases your ability to breathe…. Go on… try it! Take a deep breath in. What did you notice? Now bring your chest up, and try again. It is so easy to think we know what good posture really is. Your mum has been telling you your whole life, “pull your shoulders back”, “stand up straight”. However, correct posture is about lifting your sternum (chest bone) up. From a side view, keep your ear in line with your shoulders, hips and ankles.
Posture is a forgotten aspect of health that is commonly overlooked.
