A Handy Guide To Correcting Bad Posture

Stretching And Exercising

Far too many individuals spend the majority of their time sitting hunched over a computer or standing and doing repetitive motions, and both scenarios can have a negative impact on their posture. Thankfully, stretching and exercising can help reduce pain in the muscles and joints while also strengthening them to help them deal with the strain. Increasing core strength is very important to posture. Try to build-up strength from your mid-thigh all the way up to your rib cage. These muscles support the body when you are sitting or standing so it only makes sense that the stronger they are, the easier it is to have proper posture. Just like animals stretch when they get up from sleeping or standing, so should humans. Simple stretches can help ease the strain and reduce pain and should be done every time you get up from sitting or laying down for an extended period. Something as simple as putting your hands on your lower back and leaning backward can make a world of difference.
