    The most ignored ‘P’ word… (Posture)

    Hello folks, How are you today?

    Me? I’m fine except for my back, I sure need to take some rest after all the work I’ve done :-

    Answering emails
    Checking my social walls
    Watching a few videos
    Listening to some music
    Performing on the Piano
    Playing the Guitar
    Studying
    Motorcycle rides
    Having Meals
    Standing in the lobby thinking
    Sitting in the ‘little boy’s’ room

    Yeah many things to do, it sure takes a toll on the back. Don’t you agree?

    Well, they don’t. You see, I realized that all of the above are just my average everyday tasks, which do ‘not’ take any effort from my body physically. If these things make your back cry, then you need to start worrying Mr! or Ms!
    Because it definitely got me worried.

    I was seriously ignoring the way my body was positioned while I was standing or sitting during my work. So you see it’s not what I was doing that took a toll on my back, but it was “How” I was positioned while I did work.

    Now if you are suffering from a bad posture like me, so much so that going back to the good posture seems like a constant effort and needs constant vigilance. That’s because the bad posture has become normal for our muscles in a relaxed position. We need to reset that, so when we’re relaxed,  our body is in a good posture by default. Yeah I know Muscles are so dim, Aren’t they? 😉

    I recommend you remedy this as soon as possible, because the quicker you get back to a good posture the less damage it will have on your spine. Yes, Bad posture is the Primary cause of spinal problems like bone spurs, intervertebral disc damage, fibrotic scar tissue. And let me tell you any kind of skeletal problem is really painful and almost irreparable. Even if it is repairable, it’s never going to work the way it used to after it’s repaired.
    There is a common quote:’Prevention is better than…………..’ That’s right!

    Here are a few videos which will help us get back to a good and healthy posture. (Courtesy: fitandbusydad.com) Thanks Chris
