What can your posture tell you???

Posture is more than how you sit or stand. Your posture represents the state of your being. It is an indication of the health of your muscles, joints and organs and also your emotions and general health.
Genetics are often attributed to poor posture, but more importantly poor nutrition, bad habits, soft tissue problems and environmental or work habits affect posture.
How you present yourself also has an effect on how you feel as well as how people perceive you. Standing tall and erect with square shoulders and balanced frame portrays confidence and vitality while slumping, rounded shoulders and an uneven pelvis convey depression, sickness or weakness.
Postural problems often begin in childhood but many times set in later in life. It is never too late to address these issues and correcting a faulty posture along with the underlying cause yields fantastic benefits


Checking your own posture is easy and informative.
  • First stand in front of a mirror and look at the position of your head. Does it tilt to one side? Is your chin rotated making one side of your face appear wider than the other?
  • Are your shoulders even? Does one drop down and appear wider ( this is usually on your dominant side). If you can see your hands extended down your side is one hand lower?
  • Does your bellybutton drift to one side?
  • Are your hips even?
  • Does one foot turn out or the other rotate in?

If you can identify with any of the above you may be experiencing pain, weakness or other conditions. Prolonged joint dysfunction can lead to arthritis and chronic pain. Fixing joint dysfunction improves health and posture and reduces discomfort and disease.
