Q&A

• Is maintaining good posture alone sufficient for overall well-being?

  Maintaining good posture is not enough; it's essential to keep muscles and joints moving. Smart movement, proper carrying of items, occasional breaks, regular exercise, and consulting a physical therapist for personalized guidance are crucial for overall well-being.

• What are some tips for maintaining good posture?

  Maintain proper posture while sitting by keeping a straight spine, relaxing shoulders, and ensuring the knees are at a right angle with feet flat on the floor. Redesigning the environment to support good posture and considering ergonomic aids can also help reduce muscle strain.

• How do babies develop proper spinal curves?

  Babies start with one spinal curve, which develops and strengthens as muscles mature. Properly aligned curves support efficient movement and balance, playing a crucial role in supporting their upright posture and absorbing stress from activities.

• Why is maintaining good posture challenging?

  Maintaining good posture is increasingly challenging due to modern lifestyle and technology use. Factors such as prolonged sitting in a bad position and excessive use of computers and mobile devices contribute to the decline in average posture.

• How does poor posture affect the body?

  Poor posture affects muscles, joints, and organs, leading to health issues and emotional impact. It contributes to muscle tightness, joint and ligament wear and tear, increased pain sensitivity, and can influence emotional well-being.

• Why is good posture important?
