Spine Posture

Posture Guide: What is posture?


“Good posture is integral to good health”.


Poor posture is caused by too much compression on certain ligaments, and this compression throws the body out of balance, distorting the spine.

Once we relieve our spine of this compression we achieve ideal posture, and this means that internal organs start to function again normally, breathing deepens, joints lubricate, and blood flows improve which means increased circulation which is also great for helping alleviate aches and pains. Free up the blood vessels and nerves, free up discs and joints, and you’ll quite literally feel ‘a weight off your shoulders’.

Health therapists call the spine’s curves the ‘double C’ or ‘S’ curves. If you practice good postural mechanics and these curves are encouraged to maintain their natural alignment, then that musculoskeletal balance means that joints in the spine are protected from excessive stress.
