Correct Alignment For Your Spine

Posture Myth #4 "You should maintain a straight spine (sitting or standing)"

When you sit or stand your spine is designed to have a neutral alignment, which rather than straight, has a natural ‘S’ curve. Deviation away from this ‘S’ curve is in all but very exceptional cases, the result of poor posture as a result of repetitive patterns of movement and a modern sedentary lifestyle.

Attempts to consciously change the curve of the spine do not address the route cause of the problem – your muscles are not doing the job they are intended to do.

You must address the body as a unit and restore the design ‘S’ curve of the spine. The result will be miminum effort to achieve and maintain this position.
