Why Is Posture Important?

More Efficient Movement

• Proper posture ensures the optimal alignment of muscles and bones, allowing for more efficient movement during everyday activities like sitting and walking.

Pain Prevention and Management

• Poor posture can lead to muscle imbalances—some muscles become tight while others become weak. These imbalances can lead to neck, shoulder and back pain.

Improved Breathing and Circulation

• Slouching compresses the chest and abdomen, reducing lung capacity.
• Correct posture helps your lungs expand fully and supports better circulation throughout the body.

Joint Protection

• Misalignments can stress the joints, like the spine, hips, and knees.
• Over time, this can accelerate wear-and-tear, leading to conditions like arthritis.

Balance and Stability

• Posture helps maintain your centre of gravity, which is key for both static and dynamic balance.
  This reduces your risk of falls and injuries, especially as you age.
