WHAT IS A POSTURE?
Posture is the position in which we hold our bodies while standing, sitting, or lying down. Good posture is the correct alignment of body parts supported by the right amount of muscle tension against gravity. Without posture and the muscles that control it, we would simply fall to the ground. Normally, we do not consciously maintain normal posture, but certain muscles do it for us, and we don’t even have to focus about it. Several muscle groups, including the hamstrings and large back muscles, are critically important in maintaining good posture. While the ligaments help to hold the skeleton together, these postural muscles, when functioning properly, prevent the forces of gravity from pushing us over forward. Posture is most noticeable and loud aspect of body language. Everybody of us adopts and drops different postures almost unconsciously. It’s happens 24 hours of a day and throughout our life. Posture is nothing but an adjustment we make with physical, emotional or social situations at any given moment. We may not express emotions on face, speak, look, or make gestures but we always adopt different postures. It’s a primary mechanism of human body. Culture, heredity, age, habits and working conditions – demands have their own impact on postures we adopt. Some of us unconsciously or consciously copy or follow posture of our parents, grandparents or people we are influenced by. Posture speaks to eyes so clearly that we even can judge person’s profession just by looking at normal posture it adopts while working. Posture is a reflection of oneself!A particular posture or manner of moving or positioning body into physical space creates (first) impression and establish an identity of an individual overtime. Watch any political leader, film star, celebrity, sportsman!
