Good posture means standing upright with the back of your neck, your upper back between your shoulder blades, and your lower back at your tailbone aligned in a straight vertical line. If you’re slumping, slouching, or leaning to one side, you’re not using good posture.
Your posture makes a difference in how you feel, even if you may not be aware of it. You can use good or bad posture when sitting, standing, bending, and even when lying down.
You might have memories of being nagged about having good posture and standing up straight when you were growing up. While you might not think that good posture matters much, your parents and teachers were right. Standing up straight really does make a difference.
When your body is correctly aligned, you have a much better chance of having smooth biomechanical function. That means you can use your full range of physical motion without pain or discomfort.
Poor posture notably correlates with chronic back and neck pain, spinal wear-and-tear, and issues like spinal disc herniation.
