Straighten Up!
First and foremost, posture is the position of the body parts, including the head, trunk, and limbs. Anytime the body moves it changes your posture. So, what exactly is improper or faulty posture? Faulty posture may be the cause of many body aches and occasionally severe pain and dysfunction in the body. Posture is so important that it can even communicate nonverbal body language, self-esteem, and our mental attitude. So, you see why it's important to mind your posture?Good posture is extremely vital for both children and adults because it continues to play a role in your everyday health and development. When the body is in proper balance you feel great and your body can function at its optimal level.
