The Effects of Poor Posture on the Body - Part Three
What can you do to improve your posture
Ways to Improve Your Posture
The longer you live with poor posture, the more work it will take to correct it.
Guidance from a physical therapist can help with reversing bad habits and improving your musculoskeletal form.
In this case, good posture involves keeping your shoulders down and back, rather than raised, and no longer angling your head forward.
Along with these changes, improving posture often starts with your core.
Specifically, drawing your abdominal region closer to your spine, instead of pushing it outward. Additionally: Consider using a lumbar pillow to sit upright more comfortably in a chair.
Periodically take breaks throughout the workday.
Pay attention to the ergonomics of your work area, including your chair and position of your keyboard and computer. You should be able to look ahead at a computer while keeping your wrists straight as you type.
Improving your posture will help reduce or avoid neck and back pain.
