Back Health

October InnerLight-Bulb: "Back" to Basics

Having a healthy back begins with proper posture.  Among other things, proper posture:
  • Prevents fatigue because muscles are being used more efficiently, allowing the body to use less energy.
  • Prevents strain or overuse problems.
  • Prevents backache and muscular pain.
  • Contributes to a good appearance.

So what exactly is posture?  Posture is the position you hold your body in, whether it's while standing, sitting, or lying down.  "Proper" posture is when you hold your body (while standing, walking, sitting, and lying) in positions where the least amount of strain is placed on the supporting structures like muscles and ligaments.
