Posture Matters: How to recognize better alignment
By Beth Dayo
Have you ever glanced at a candid photo of you and noticed your posture for the first time? Despite our awareness of how desk and phone use impact posture, seeing it firsthand can be a shock. We may assume staying active counteracts the effects, but specific activities may be necessary.
No need to panic—now that you're aware, you can take steps to address it.
The first step after recognizing posture issues is to reconnect with your body's sensations. The act of trying to avoid poor posture without first doing this, perpetuates the problem, as it stems from a mental concept rather than a felt understanding. This can lead to additional imbalances and patterns, and is often the cause of our bodies pain.
