Admit it: you don’t pay too much attention to
the way you walk, sit, and lie down. Not
everyone knows the right way to do it. You
might argue that you’re comfortable with a
certain position, but chiropractors will tell you
that you might be putting unnecessary strain
on your muscles. Here 
is a detailed
explanation of what posture is, a list of tips for
maintaining good posture, and more.
What Is Good Posture?
According 
to 
the 
American Chiropractic
Association, the way we hold our bodies when
sitting, 
lying down, and standing is called
posture. However, there is a difference between
good posture and bad posture. You can say that
you have good posture when your body parts are
aligned correctly with the right amount of muscle
tension as support against gravity.
Your day-to-day activities can affect this
alignment and put unnecessary strain and
pressure on your muscles and joints. Over time,
you’ll feel discomfort and pain. If left untreated,
you might be left with permanent damage.
With good posture exercises and proper
ergonomics, you can correct your posture and
avoid injuries caused by bad alignment.
Why Is Good Posture Important?
Maintaining your posture is not something that
you do consciously. It can be a challenge to
maintain good posture. It can come as a surprise,
but the muscles on your body will normally do it
for you. There are muscle groups that play a
major role in maintaining your posture, such as
your large back muscles and hamstrings. When
your postural muscles are working properly, they
will prevent gravity from pushing you forward
and help you maintain your balance, no matter
what you do.
How To Maintain Good Posture
It can be a daunting task to keep these tips in
mind, especially if you cannot commit yourself
to it. You might think that they will not help your
posture, but you’re mistaken. Maintaining good
posture can guarantee that you will not suffer
any injuries to your ligaments and muscles.
If your feet don’t reach the floor when
you’re sitting down, you can put a foot rest
under your desk. On the other hand, if they
do, keep them flat on the ground.
Avoid crossing your legs, and keep your
ankles ahead of you so they’re in front of
your knees.
Make sure that you don’t sit in one position
for prolonged periods. Remember to take a
break and move your body.
The level of your knees should be the same
as or below your hips.
Here a few things to keep in mind:
When sitting:
Make sure that the backrest of your chair
supports your lower back and mid-back. You
can also invest in quality back support.
Leave a small gap between the front of your
seat and the back of your knees.
Listen to what your body tells you. People
usually have different preferences when it
comes to mattresses. Although firm mattresses
are mostly recommended, your body may like it
more when your mattress is soft. Consider the
level of your back pain and your comfort when
looking for a new mattress.
A good sleeping position is either on your back
or on your side. This can help manage your
back pain. When you sleep on your back, make
sure that you have a pillow under your knees.
When you sleep on your side, you should put a
pillow between your legs.
When lying down:
There are special pillows that can remove the
strain from your neck because of poor sleeping
positions. Consider making the switch if the
quality of your sleep continues to suffer.
No matter how comfortable it is to sleep on
your stomach, it is best to avoid doing it.
If you’re in a long queue and will be standing up
for a long time, try shifting your weight from one
foot to the other or from your toes to your heels.
Slightly bend your knees.
Be mindful of how you stand. Try your best to
stand tall and straight. Make sure that your
shoulders are pulled down and backward.
Keep your stomach in.
Keep a considerable distance between your feet.
Chiropractors suggest keeping them shoulder-
width apart.
When standing:
When you feel pain when you move or do your
everyday tasks, consulting a licensed chiropractor
is the best thing to do. 
If you don’t ask
professionals 
for medical 
intervention, 
the
problem can become serious, and your overall
health may suffer. If you don’t know a trusted
