Good Posture:

• Keeps bones and joints in the correct alignment so that muscles are being used properly.
• Helps decrease the abnormal wearing of joint surfaces.
• Decreases the stress on the ligaments holding the joints of the spine together.
• Prevents the spine from becoming fixed in abnormal positions.
• Prevents fatigue because muscles are being used more efficiently, allowing the body to use less energy.
• Prevents backache and muscular pain. 
• Contributes to a good appearance.

To Achieve Good Posture You Will Require the Following:

• Good muscle flexibility
• Normal motion in the joints
• Strong postural muscles
• A balance of muscles on both sides of the spine
• Awareness of your own posture, plus awareness of proper posture which leads to conscious correction.
