Posture Corrector

Posture Corrector: Exercises and tips to help alleviate muscle tension caused by poor sitting and standing habits.

Physiotherapist Nick Sinfield describes 8 common posture mistakes and how to correct them with strength and stretching exercises.

If you have back pain, improving your posture is unlikely to address the root cause of your pain, but it may help alleviate muscle tension.

Correcting your posture may feel awkward at first because your body has become so used to sitting and standing in a particular way.

But with a bit of practise, good posture will become second nature and be 1 step to helping your back in the long term.

Slouching in a chair: Slouching doesn't always cause discomfort, but over time this position can place strain on already sensitised muscles and soft tissues.

This strain may increase tension in the muscles, which may in turn cause pain.

Get into the habit of sitting correctly. It may not feel comfortable initially because your muscles have not been conditioned to support you in the correct position.

Exercises to strengthen your core and buttock muscles, and back extensions, will help correct a slouching posture.

Sticking your bottom out: If your bottom tends to stick out or you have a pronounced curve in your lower back, you may have hyperlordosis. This is an exaggerated inward curve of the lower back that creates a "Donald Duck" posture.

Core and buttock strengthening exercises, hip flexor and thigh stretches, and making a conscious effort to correct your standing posture are recommended to help correct a sticking out bottom.

Wearing high heels, excessive weight around the stomach and pregnancy can all contribue to a "Donald Duck" posture.

Standing with a flat back: A flat back means your pelvis is tucked in and your lower back is straight instead of naturally curved, causing you to stoop forward. People with a flat back often find it difficult standing for long periods.

This posture is often caused by muscle imbalances, which encourage you to adopt such a position. Spending long periods sitting down can also contribute to a flat back.

A flat back also tends to make you lean your neck and head forwards, which can cause neck and upper back strain.

Exercises to strengthen your core, buttocks, neck and rear shoulder muscles, and back extensions, are recommended to help correct a flat back.

But there are a lot of other mistakes we usually make that seriously affect our posture, such as:

Leaning on 1 leg

Hunched back and 'text neck'

Poking your chin

Rounded shoulders

Cradling your phone

And much more!
