• Use Good Posture Our spine is designed to move, which means our posture should also move. The spine does not like to remain in one position for extended periods, but when you need to sit or stand for long periods, find a “good” posture. For example, imagine your breast bone is lifted towards the sky, causing your spine to straighten out — lifting you up — keeping your hips, spine, shoulders, and neck aligned. Learning to care for your spine will minimize the pain and dysfunction that comes from neglect.
