HAVE YOU NOTICED YOUR POSTURE?......... OTHERS DO.
Your posture has a large influence not only
on your physical appearance but also
on how your body functions. Poor posture
leads to imbalances that cause your
muscles to work more to counteract gravity's
pull and fatigue quicker. When your
body is properly aligned, it is well-balanced
with minimum stress and strain on
the bones, ligaments and muscles. Less energy
is required for movement with good
posture, increasing energy efficiency and
function… … A postural assessment
is an important first step in the design
of a client's exercise program. At
Anatomically Correct, a unique postural
assessment screen is used to view your
posture from all angles.
How Do You Stand Up? Your body should be aligned
equally side-to-side and
back-to-front. When your body is in balance, it
requires less effort to stay
erect whereas unequal alignment results in more
wear and tear on your body. With
better postural alignment, you will not only look
younger , you will move better
too.
Over time, poor posture causes muscle weakness or
tightness . Below are three
examples of common faulty postures and their
associated muscle tightness and/or
weakness.
In Lordosis , the pelvis is tilted forward,
creating an excessive curve in the
low back, caused by weak abdominals and tight
hip flexors , often a result of
too much sitting.
The Kyphosis posture, with the rounded back
and forward head and shoulders
position, can also be caused by too much time
spent sitting, for example,
hunched over a computer keyboard.
In Sway Back posture, the pelvis is displaced
forward and the low back loses its
natural curve and flattens, often leading to low back pain.

Bad posture and muscular imbalance is the
primary cause of most muscle and joint
pain. Restoring muscle balance to improve
functional movement, by stretching
tight muscles and strengthening weak muscles
can relieve pain symptoms. Regular
exercises are essential for pain management
and stability.
