   How to Improve Bad Posture

   Bad posture does not happen overnight. It is a gradual process. Bad posture is a response to how you hold your body in various positions, such as sitting, slouching and standing. After a period of time, your posture muscles become weak and other muscles take over the work. If you want to improve your posture, you need to be aware of bad posture habits. Here are some examples of common behavior and poor ergonomics that need correction to improve posture and back support: • Slouching with the shoulders hunched forward • Cradling a phone receiver between the neck and shoulder • Keeping the head held too high or looking down too much • Sleeping with a mattress or pillow that doesn't provide proper back support, or in a position that compromises posture • Slumping forward while sitting in an office chair and not making use of the office chair's lumbar back support The first step in improving your posture is to identify what needs improvement by examining your posture throughout the day. One of the best ways to improve bad posture is to use the Posture Pal posture cushion. Posture Pal reduces forward head posture, reduces slouching, stretches the front upper body tissues, stimulates the spinal postural muscles, increases circulation, opens up the chest region increasing respiratory functions, alleviates upper and lower back, shoulder and neck pain; relieves muscle tension; Improves posture by aligning head, neck and upper body in correct position; and relieves TMJ.
