As children we've all been told to 'sit up straight', 'stop slouching' or 'pull your shoulders back'. So, was this our parents nagging us for the sake of it or were they doing it for our own benefit? To be honest growing up I knew nothing about posture really, nor did I particularly care - I wasn't particularly aware of my own, or anybody else’s. Since studying Physical Therapy, however, I am now constantly looking at peoples' posture and how they 'carry' themselves!
So, what is Good Posture??
“Good Posture” is defined as the position in which the body can
function most effectively, while under the least amount of strain.
