Posture is the way in which you hold yourself while sitting, standing, and lying down. Good posture keeps all of your joints and bones aligned, reducing stress on muscles and ligaments.
Maintaining good posture is important to prevent muscle fatigue and injury. Poor posture often leads to back pain, but there are several small changes you can make to your daily routine to prevent this by improving your posture. Seek expert advice before and after these changes to prevent injury.
Set up your computer monitor at eye level.
Position the computer screen directly in front of the user so the body and neck do not have to twist to view.
Ensure the screen rests at eye level so you do not have to tilt your head up or down to see the screen properly.
Keep your head level while using the computer to keep your spine straight.
Avoid tucking your chin into your chest.
Use an ergonomic chair with proper lumbar support.
Know the correct way to stand.
Having good posture while standing is important, especially if you are on your feet all day. If you are standing with proper posture, you reduce stress on your body and may actually have more energy, as your muscles are used most efficiently when you have good posture. Use the following guidelines to make sure you are standing correctly.
Hold your head up straight, not tilted forward, backward, or to the side. Picture a string attached to the top of your head, and someone is gently pulling it, keeping your head lifted.
Keep your shoulder blades back, but not so far that they are touching.
Knees should be straight, but not locked.
Tuck your stomach in without tilting your pelvis forward of backwards.
If you are just starting out, keep your routine short and simple. Try to make it a daily or every other day habit.
There are a number of small stretches that can be performed to quickly increase good posture. Try adding some of these exercises to your daily routine:
Shoulder rolls: Stand or sit comfortably. As you inhale, lift your shoulders up towards your ears. On the exhale, roll them back, squeezing your shoulder blades together. Repeat five to 10 times.
Release chest: Raise your arms just below your shoulders, keeping palms facing forward. As you inhale, raise your straight arms in front of you, just below the shoulders, keeping palms facing forward. As you exhale, slowly rotate palms so that your fingers point behind you while you open up your arms, similar to a hugging movement. Repeat three to five times.
Walk briskly for a few hours a week.
Cells in your bones respond to stress by increasing bone density. Brisk walking is one way to lightly increase stress and encourage new bone growth.
Walking for just 30 minutes a day can increase bone density.
Consult a specialist before adding any intensive workouts to your daily routine.
Take vitamin D for bone and muscle health.
Keeping your muscles and bones strong will help prevent a hunched back as you age. It will also help you maintain good posture while you're young. Vitamin D is essential for strong bones.
