However, understanding and practising the art of alignment canIn today's fast-paced world, the importance of maintaining good posture has never been more critical. As we find ourselves spending more time in front of screens and less time in motion, the prevalence of posture-related spinal issues is on the rise. However, understanding and practising the art of alignment can lead to optimal spinal health, enhancing both our physical well-being and our overall quality of life. Understanding Posture and Its Impact Posture, in its simplest form, is the position in which we hold our bodies while standing, sitting, or lying down. Good posture aligns our bones and joints, allowing our muscles to be used correctly, decreasing the abnormal wearing of joint surfaces, and reducing the risk of degenerative diseases and joint pain. Conversely, poor posture can lead to a host of problems, including back and neck pain, spinal dysfunction, joint degeneration, and reduced lung capacity. It is thus essential to both recognize and correct poor posture habits to main...
