Posture
Overview
Understanding Your Condition
Posture refers to the alignment and positioning of the body—especially the spine and limbs—while standing, sitting, or lying down. Good posture maintains the natural curves of the spine, balanced joint alignment, and efficient weight distribution. Poor posture can lead to musculoskeletal issues and discomfort over time.
Causes & Types
- Spinal alignment: supports the natural curves and reduces strain.
- Musculoskeletal health: distributes weight evenly, preventing overuse injuries.
- Respiratory function: allows full lung expansion and better breathing.
- Digestive health: supports abdominal organs and digestion.
- Appearance and confidence: balanced posture enhances self-esteem.
- Sedentary lifestyle and prolonged sitting/standing.
- Incorrect ergonomics at workstations.
- Weak core, back, and stabilizing muscles.
- Excessive weight straining the spine.
- Musculoskeletal conditions such as scoliosis, kyphosis, and arthritis.
- Footwear with inadequate support or high heels.
