Why care about good posture?

1.  Avoid pain!
Do you know of anyone who has had neck or back pain?
According to The American Association of Neurological Surgeons, up to 85% of Americans will have an episode of back pain during his or her lifetime.  Poor posture and body mechanics are significant contributors to spinal problems.

*Wake up moment*  People in their 40s and older most likely had less “electronic” opportunities than younger generations do now.  AND, if those older than 40 are having back and neck pain now, what are the chances that a 10 year old who hunches over to play a game on his phone will experience pain when he is 40?

2.  Improve strength!
When your body is aligned properly, your muscles  function most optimally.  Our bodies are like machines.  When the parts and gears are functioning in the position they were designed to function, they will simply work more smoothly.  And, if in the wrong position, they might not even function at all!

3.  Better appearance!
You be the judge.  How would you rate her appearance and level of confidence in each picture?  Standing with good posture also helps to make you look more approachable and friendly.
