Tips To Improve Your Posture
Correct posture helps align
bones and joints so that muscles are being used, not strained. Ignoring good posture techniques can not only lead to joint and muscle pain but it also can be the
result of stress, obesity, pregnancy, etc. The good news is that you can correct your bad habit postures with some practice and consistency.
TIP #1: Sit up straight.
Imagine
you're a puppet, having someone pulling on your strings from above. Your spine should not be curved when you're sitting so as a good reminder, always look straight ahead. Your feet should not be crosses, they should be touching the floor,
with your knees bent at a 90-degree angle.
TIP #2: Don't sit on your foot.
Sitting on your feet can cause rotational problems with the hip and knee so unless you're only doing it for a few seconds, keep both feet on the floor.
TIP #3: Stop crossing your legs.
When your legs are crosses you are putting more pressure on one leg than the other which can cause circulation issues.
TIP #4: Say no to the heels.
Wearing heals can create an increased lumbar curve in your lower back which can cause pain in the lower back. I'm not saying throw out all your heels, I'm just saying you should only wear them sparingly, not as part of your everyday attire.
TIP #5: Unload your back pockets.
Sitting on that bulky
wallet or cell phone can create an uneven cheek height which can twist your pelvis which can, you guessed it, cause back pain.
TIP #6: Check your alignment at the computer.
To achieve proper alignment, keep yourself aligned with the height of your computer monitor so that your eyes
are level with the top of it. Make
sure your ears are over the middle of your shoulders, not tipped to one side. This will help prevent neck pains and headaches along with standing up to stretch your legs
every 20 to 30 minutes.
TIP #7: Stand tall.
Keep your feet shoulder width apart with your weight distributed evenly between your feet. The same ear-positioning rule is recommended for optimal posture while standing. If you are on your feet for more than 30 minutes, you can relieve some pressure on your back by resting one foot on something about four to six inches off the ground. Roll your shoulders back, raise your chin so your ears are above your shoulders and relax your arms at your sides

Yoga helps lengthen the spine, to help you stand taller in alignment. You may also find yoga to be a great stress reliever, too.
I have learned not to put postural issues on the back burner so at the end of the day if you experience issues with posture, neck pain, back pain, etc. always see your doctor. Specialists can teach you about proper posture techniques
as well as help you identify which exercises will work best for you.
