What Affects Your Posture?

Remember how your mother used to remind you to sit up straight? It turns out, she wasn’t just reminding you of good manners; she was actually looking out for your posture.

Since humans decided to stand on two feet, our posture has played an important role in the overall health of a person. Posture provides a sound glimpse of both physical and emotional health issues that a person could be facing. For example, if someone’s slumped over or has bad posture, you might be quick to assume that person lacks confidence or strength. If a person stands up or sits up straight, you’re likely to think of that person as confident, capable, and friendly.

We’re hardwired to look at a person’s posture for a quick assessment of his or her health. As it turns out, we’re right to do so, as the positioning of each vertebrae in the spine is determined by a person’s skeletal alignment. This alignment can be impacted by a number of health issues, and even by a person’s mental or emotional well-being.

So what affects your posture – and what can you do to correct poor posture?

• Your general spinal health can impact your posture. Spinal diseases can play a critical role in the alignment of your spine. Spinal injuries can also throw off spinal alignment, leading to poor posture.
• Biomechanical forces can, over long periods of time, impact your spinal health. For example, if you sit slouched over at work all day or you slump while you’re on the computer, it’s likely that your spine is becoming misshapen due to repeated and exaggerated positioning.
• The strength and flexibility of the muscles surrounding the spine can also play a role on spinal alignment. The stronger those back muscles are, the more easy it is to ensure proper posture.
• Other ways your posture can be impacted include injury, sleeping patterns, and other health conditions.
