Proper posture will help you work more efficiently with less fatigue and strain on your body’s muscles and ligaments. Proper posture will also:
Help you look good and feel confident
Build a stronger core
Reduce back and neck pain
Increase concentration
Facilitate breathing
Here are a few simple rules to follow for proper posture…
When standing, distribute body weight evenly to the front, back, and sides of the feet
While sitting in an office chair, take advantage of the chair's features. Sit up straight and align the ears, shoulders, and hips in one vertical line
If possible use a standing desk at the office
Angle your computer screen upwards. This will help avoid a slouching position
Change positions frequently
Wear supportive footwear when possible. Avoid high heels whenever possible
Strengthening your core and back muscles can facilitate good posture
Roll your shoulders back and in a downward motion, then move your elbows back towards your buttocks
Imagine that a string is coming from the top of your head and pulling you up gently towards the ceiling
Walk with your head up, shoulders back and chest out
When driving in your car keep your back against the seat and headrest
