Having great posture is important and is beneficial for your physical health. Many people might think they have good posture and actually don’t. At Connetquot Chiropractic located in Ronkonkoma, Dr. Lambert can provide you with more details and information about the benefits of having great posture.
When you have good posture, your posture creates the least amount of strain on supporting muscles and ligaments when you move or perform any physical activities. Having Good Posture consists of:
- Keeping bones and joints in the correct alignments so that muscles can be used properly
- Decreasing the stress on ligaments by holding the joints of the spine together
- Preventing the spine from becoming fixed in abnormal positions.
- Decreases the abnormal wearing of joint surfaces.
- Preventing backache and muscular pain
Whether you are sitting, meditating, sleeping, working, exercising, stretching, and staying active, posture is very important in all movements. Benefits of having good posture include:
- Better Lung Capacity, in other words, helps better breathing
