Posture is the position in which you hold your body upright against gravity while standing, sitting or laying down. Good posture involves training your body to stand, walk, sit and lie in positions of a minor strain. Good posture makes you look great, feel more energetic and project confidence. It also helps prevent injury and reduce pain. Just knowing how to correct your posture is not enough to achieve a change in your actual habit. Our body uses learnt motor patterns to perform everyday activities. When you sit, stand, walk or move – your body follows previously known motor patterns. If your body has learned to slouch – that’s what it will do.
