Standing Posture

Posture is an important part of life.  "Stand up straight, pull in your gut, and push your shoulders back!"  Mom was right in correcting you all those years.  The habit of standing incorrectly can cause long term misalignment.  How do I correct this you ask?  Well, first let's identify what ideal posture looks and feels like!  Take a look at the picture below:

Notice how for good posture the ankles are stacked in line with the knees, in line with the hips, in line with the shoulders, in line with the ears.  This allows the chest to be open and the head to balance on the spine.  The abs are active and scooped inward to the back.  There is equal weight on your big toe, little toe, and heel while you balance (similar to a tripod).

This new found length in the spine helps relieve pressure on your discs.  You body can now work more efficiently.

Benefits of Good Posture:

• Pain relief (neck, back, hips, feet)
• Increased range of motion
• Improves muscle function (burn more calories per day)
• Improves circulation through body
• You appear thinner (loose 10lbs in 5secs)
• Look more confident

Try it today!  Remember: ankles + knees + hips + shoulders + ears
