Posture Information | Teaching Good Posture

teaching good posture

Teaching good posture has to be more than just telling someone to "sit up straight" and to "stop slouching!" Taking this approach seem to give the impression that achieving good posture is just about remembering to have it.

While you will have to remember to sit up straight from time to time, the focus has to be on building stronger postural muscles. By doing this, you will make it easier to sit up straight and keep from slouching.

You will have fewer instances to have to "remember."

If this is the case, then teaching good posture has to be about getting stronger in your back muscles and, just as importantly, stretching the mucles on the front of your body.

Your body is not trying to slouch. After all, you feel better when you have better posture and your body is all about that. The force of gravity acting on your body constantly just keeps pulling you down.

If your body has an easier time keeping you up (because it's strong), it will certainly do so. However, if your daily activities involve sitting at a workstation that is not suited for you and you never get around to performing some sort of posture improving exercise, you're going to struggle.

Your body can only keep up the fight for sitting up straight for as long as your muscles can hold out. If you are trying to teach good posture to someone, you're going to have to help them understand that bad posture is not about improving memory.

"Got Great Results In Just 2 Weeks!"

Having great success using the lower back exercises from Dr. Cordova's Posture Confidence DVD, I didn't hesitate to try her exercises for the neck.

I wasn't disappointed! After 2 weeks, my neck and shoulders began to feel and look better. I also found the ebook very informative and easy to read. It's a good reference to have!

Thank you!

Pain Relief From Neck And Back Problems "With Little Effort"!

"Dr. Cordova, I have just read your book and find it to be very 'eye opening'.

My job typically has long hours and requires international air travel. Both require that I sit in the same position for long periods of time. Without even knowing what happened, I found that my shoulders were rounding, my neck would ache, my head would ache, and my back felt like it was “going out”. On the airplane, I struggle for comfort and work myself into remarkable positions.

After reading your book, I find that -- with very little effort -- I can perform your recommended exercises and relieve this pain. I thought that the pain resulting from these activities was something I had to live with. Your book has taught me that this is not true.

Thank you very much for revealing this wisdom. I feel better already."
