Posture Can Make or Break Your Health!
Why should emphasis be placed upon such a simple thing as the pull of gravity? In your youth, your muscles held your skeleton in proper balance free from strain or discomfort. Perhaps now circumstances have caused your muscles to lose the battle with gravity. Maybe premature ageing, excess weight or an enforced rest has weakened your muscles just enough to cause your frame to be in an uncomfortable state of balance.
This sagging stretches the ligaments of your back and causes backaches. Ligaments that are stretched too far are painful. They are meant to serve only as check reins for the joints and cannot be forcibly stretched without pain. When the ligaments in your back are made uncomfortable by excessive stretching, it is natural for your muscles to try to oppose this gravitational pull. However, if your muscles are too weak to do their proper job, they will rapidly become exhausted and develop the misery of fatigue, making your back painful and uncomfortable.
Check your own symptoms! Do you notice a deep aching and soreness along your spine due to stretched ligaments? Are your back and shoulder muscles achy and tired? Do you have a postural backache caused by weak muscles? If so, start now to strengthen your muscles with proper posture and exercise.
