Posture And Flexibility
Good Posture and Flexibility are mutually interdependent. One cannot exist without the other. For example, if you have a tight, immobile, stiff neck, you won’t be able to carry your head in the right place, centered vertically above the spine. Similarly, badly placed feet, stiff ankles and knees, and a tilted pelvis, all prevent you from standing and walking correctly.
So before even starting to correct your posture, you must be flexible enough for the main joints (toes, ankles, knees, hips, waist, shoulders and neck) to attain a naturally given range of motion. Now you can start rebuilding your posture from scratch, starting at the base, your the feet.
Did You Know?
You don’t actually shrink with old age but merely allow the spinal curves to deepen too much, like a folded up accordion. But you don’t have to let that happen.
There is no such thing as a “short neck”. An over-curved neck looks short but we all have 7 cervical vertebrae. What to do with them? Train them to support each-other vertically. Never allow the neck bones to be crushed down by the weight of your head (5/7 kilos)!
It is quite easy, with a little physical intelligence and body awareness to gain enough flexibility to re-align all your joints, and prevent looking old before your time. How? Read Juliette Kando alias Sue Adams‘ more detailed articles and videos at HubPages:
