POSTURE
Posture is the way we sit, stand, walk, kneel or squat. It is determined by the structure of the body and can be influenced by genetic and emotional factors. Our modern lifestyles, combined with forces of gravity, can ruin our healthy upright posture.
Good posture consist of balancing the body weight around the body’s centre of gravity in the lower spine and pelvis. Maintaining good posture helps prevent neck pain and back pain.
An incorrect posture can potentially lead to injury and pain through unbalanced supporting muscles. Specifically, a poor lower body posture can affect the way you walk, sit and stand. This can put increased stress on areas left weak, such as the lower back, due to the surrounding muscles providing insufficient support.
