Like all well-crafted mechanisms, your body was designed to work in a particular way. Correct posture is our basic building block for efficient, pain-free movement. Sure you don’t have to maintain correct posture to lift a heavy weight or get through a work day without pain, but how much easier would it be if you did? And how many potential injuries would you avoid? Need more convincing? OK, how many people do you know with bad posture that you think are good-looking? Not many, I’m guessing. If 80% of communication is non-verbal then correct posture speaks volumes! You immediately look healthier, happier and more confident.
