“See your health professional”.

Well you can look in the mirror for a start and if you’re slouching and round shouldered then you’ll soon work out that your body is out of alignment with its neighbouring parts.

You should be able to draw a straight line from your ear lobe right down your shoulders and hips and to the ankles …. and if you can achieve that, or get close to it, then you’re on the way to better posture.

But of course it’s easy to fall back into slouch-back territory, particularly if you’re spending a good deal of time at your computer. Simply remind yourself all the time to thrust up your breastbone, and imagine that you are hoisting yourself up from the head and presto you will find yourself in good stature.

The trick is to perform this task with repetition so it becomes second nature. Sit and stand with your upper trunk upright, and in time you will feel weightless as you relieve muscular stress and naturally distribute the body’s load just as nature intended.
