Posture

Posture
Posture is the body’s alignment and positioning with respect to the force of gravity. Whether we are standing, sitting or lying down gravity exerts a force on our joints, ligaments and muscles. Good posture entails distributing the force of gravity through our body so no one structure is overstressed.
 
Good posture is key to preventing common problems such as back pain, neck pain and headaches. Bad posture puts unnecessary strain on the body, pulls muscles, and can impact your mood, digestion, circulation and even your life expectancy.
