The right posture is a myth

“Sit up straight!” – We all have heard that the command barks on us many times.

Over the years we have been told that good asan means long, shoulder back and your spine directly as a rod.

But this may not be really true. Dr. Xand van Tulken, according to a doctor and BBC presenter, what we think that we know about the posture is old.

In fact, trying to keep yourself straight throughout the day can do more harm than good, he told that Morning live,

As the end of summer loom and many people return to work and study, here are three suggestions to improve your posture and in turn help your after your back.

The posture is dynamic, not stable. The worst thing you can do can remain in a situation for hours whether it is located at the desk, sitting on the couch or scrolling on your phone.

Dr. Xand says the key is to change it.

There are lots of postures, back braces and chairs that promise to change your life but “you just need to roam in the day”.

A lumbar cushion or an ergonomic chair can efficiently do more comfortable and a weedable posture reminder to prevent the hysteria, but none of these moves, strength and the basic things of listening to your body.

“You may have the best chair, but if you spend eight hours sitting in it, you will still have back pain.”

Dr. Xand also warns that some back gadgets marketed in the form of improvement in posture can force you to a situation that disrupts and restrictions your movement and is the opposite of what you want to do.

Make sure you are standing, stretch and take regular brakes – even small changes can reset your muscles, they say.

Good posture comes from strong muscles, but this does not mean that you need gym membership or Olympic ambitions.

Dr. Xand suggests regular practice to create a strong core and back.

Simple movement like raising your arms above your head and turning your head from the side “can take some stress and help you feel better immediately”.

“We want our body to support ourselves,” Dr. Xand explains.

They say that exercises like pilates and yoga can be a good way to spread your body and target specific pain points, they say.

NHS website also suggests Simple practice that can be done at home to improve your strength.

The posture is not just about the muscles, it is also about the mindset.

The way we sit, stand up and often show how stressed we feel about what we are doing.

The shoulders on a laptop can be as much about the deadline as the desk set-up, so it is important to reflect your attitude towards work or study.

“Pain is not just about muscle, it is emotional and psychological,” Dr. Xand explains.

He says that the first people will be asked to note that without focusing on their desk set-up, note that the pain can be the result of “stress, as time you are doing and whether you exercise someone,”.

“Your seat height is important but other facts are also important,” he says.

Therefore, sometimes fixing your posture is as much about reducing your schedule as it is about spreading your spine.

In some cases bad postures (not only back pain) may be down to an underlying medical condition and you should check with your GP if you are concerned.

According to NHSIf you are suffering from back pain, you should try and be active, take anti -inflammatory medications and try to do some exercise and stretch.

If you do not improve your back pain after treating at home for a few weeks, then you should see a GP or the pain is deteriorating over time.
