y y ( . HEALTH CORNER . . ·:' .;·, . . .. , . . ··;' . . ·~··-- It's true that good posture is a reflection of tile way we lQOk and feel about ourselves, but it's more than that- mu«:h more. Good posture is one of the simplest things each of us can do to prevent muscle pain, stiffness, and tensi()n as well as backaches, pain, ang injury. G~ po~ture Is actUally qQite sim:ple- it means keepin.g the tbree natural curves of your ~pine balanced· while stancijng, sitting, and lying' doWn. .. \ _; Standing · · Cc:>ntra.rf to what many of us were taught, gOf:?d posture does not meant standing with shoulders thrust back, cbin forward, and spine straight as an arrow. Actually, you're using good standing posture when you ears, sQ.ouldets; hips, knees, and ankles are \ stacked'' in a straiglit line. · Sitting While sitting, you can keep you spine balanced by again .. stacking\ ears over shoulQers and shoulders over hips. To prevent lower back strain,- place a lumbar roll (ora rolled -up towel or sweater) QetWeen your lower back md the back of your chail:. Keep your buttockS resting against the chair back, and if your feet don't reach the floor, rest them on a footsto.cl-orbox. · · . Lying J)owo When lying down or ~leeping, try resting on your side jn a modified \'fetal position (knees slightly bent toward chest) or on your back with a pillow placed beneath your knees. Sleeping with more than one pillow under yollr headcan exaggerate your eervical (neck) curve and can place undue stress on your lower back. Choose a flllll mattress for adequate back support.
