We need good posture to show off
confidence
As a personal trainer I work with people with bad posture every
day, most people do not realize how important posture is. Since most
people spend 6 or more hours sitting each day and not exercising enough our backs
are under huge pressure.
Posture causes pain that ranges
from the most common low back pain, shoulder and neck pain to frequent headache.
Bad posture is a downward spiral because your body typically compensates for
bad posture with worsening posture. Your lower body posture changes too, and
when you start walking around with bent knees, you really look prematurely old,
and probably feel it as well.
Bad posture also interferes
with our confidence and how people look at us. The way you walk down the hallway,
across the parking lot or into a room is a powerful first clue to how you feel
about yourself. Walk erect with the head held high, your shoulders back, your
chest out and your stomach in. With that positive and confident walk you create
respect without ever saying a word.
So how do you achieve a good posture?
Obviously
the first natural solution would be to start exercise the back muscles in the
right alignment, but sometimes we might need a bit of support to assist in the
process.
When we try to correct bad
posture by changing, like trying to stand straight, sometimes we do that by
tightening other muscles already struggling against the other muscles.
We assume that to correct bad
posture, all we have to do is to stand or sit straighter. Once we have made
this effort we are confident our posture is good – while we remember to do it.
Swedish Posture
support is a brilliant new Swedish product that you will assist you to activate
your back muscles; it works as a reminder for you and your muscles where to
work for a good posture. Because it “forces” you to keep a good posture in a
relaxed way your muscles will slowly “learn” the new position and feel
comfortable in that position.
I am not qualified to give medical advice,
nor will I give any. So start out by consulting a doctor before you try the
posture support if you have pain due to your bad posture.
Swedish Posture support is so discreet that you can wear it under your clothes for support at
work or put it on over your clothes at home for a bit of relief after work.
