What good posture looks like?

Good posture is a natural posture, which is comfortable for us, and in which we can move optimally without pain and carry on daily activities.  We are looking for a good alignment that places least amount of stress on your body. 

The stress I'm talking about is the stress from gravitational forces. 

A good posture is when your bones fit  optimally with the adjacent bones at their respective joints. That could be while you're seated, standing, moving, walking, biking, paddle boarding. 

What we are really looking for is a good alignment that places the least amount of stress from the gravitational pull on your body.  In this episode we explore what constitutes good posture, the impact of gravitational stress on our bodies, and debunk the myth of a 'perfect posture.' There are practical tips for improving posture, such as taking regular breaks, adjusting monitor height, and proper sitting techniques. Tune in to learn how small changes can lead to a healthier, more productive work life and reduce the risk of injury and pain.
