Posture, or proper posture, is an important step in preventing problems such as lower back pain or muscle fatigue. When our body is in the most favorable position for the joints and the joints between the joints, our body is in balance and does not consume extra energy to maintain balance. You should ideally stand so that:
- knees slightly bent
- shoulders slightly backwards
- retracted abdomen
- pelvis in central position
If you were to draw a line from the side of the torso in standing you could connect the ear, shoulder, hip and pelvis.
When sitting, your head should be raised in a central position above the pelvis, and your spine should retain natural curves, without increased lumbar lordosis in the lower body due to pushing the abdomen forward or increased thoracic kyphosis due to internal rotation of the shoulder and pushing the head forward.
When lying, the spine should remain in a natural position and the head should follow the spine line, with the support of a pillow.
The videos show the most common posture curve of the man of today with how you can correct that posture. Exercises, or consciously correcting hunched postures, will send a message to the brain and, with sufficient persistence, alter improper posture.
The first step is to become aware of improper posture and to correct that misconduct as often as possible. Any wrong posture in one part of the body acts as a compensator for other parts of the body, and as a domino effect, improper posture continues on the body.
The most common consequence of poor posture is sore muscles. When you are hunched over, the muscles have to work harder to maintain spine stability and protect it. This extra work in the muscles will cause you to become tired and tired. This can lead to a chronic problem of muscle contraction on one or both sides, most commonly occurring in the neck, shoulders, and lower back.
Common Spinal Curve Disorders
The most common occurrence of postural disorders is changes in spine curves. The human spine naturally has the shape of the letter "S". Lordosis in the cervical whole, kyphosis in the thoracic part, lordosis in the lumbar and kyphosis in the sacral part of the spine.
These curves are moderate and provide balance to our spine. When it comes to poor posture, it can cause pressure between the two vertebrae and change their position. As the spine is built to absorb stress and keep the body in balance when the posture is disturbed, additional compression between the vertebrae occurs.
Sublimation
Once the spine curve is disturbed there is a possibility of subluxation. Subluxation is the occurrence when the vertebra is dislocated, the joint is stationary, and the disc between the vertebrae is reduced with the possibility of nerve involvement. Subluxation also leads to a condition that can be found in the findings as disc or vertebral degeneration.
Circulatory disorder
Poor posture changes the correct curves of the spine, which can result in subluxation, which in this case causes the blood vessels to narrow. The constriction of blood vessels around the spine can interrupt the blood supply to the muscle cells, which impairs oxygen and nutrient supply. It also increases the chance of clot formation and causes problems such as thrombosis.
Nerve entrapment
One of the worst consequences of a bad posture is certainly a nerve congestion. Moving curves and vertebrae causes pressure on the nerves exiting the spine. Because the nerves that come out of the spine innervate all the muscles in the body, they cause pain in distant places from the spine itself.
For example, improper posture and increased neck lordosis can cause pain or tingling in the arm, or pain, weakness, or tingling in the leg.
