This is a good time of tall and straight posture and graceful standing.
However, many people are hurting the health of their waist, spine and knees every day because of some daily wrong postures. They always complain about waist soreness, backache and knee discomfort.
Today, let’s take a look at what common bad postures are, correct them together, and form beautiful and healthy good postures.
1. Wrong posture for moving things

When carrying heavy objects, if you bend down directly to pick them up, the pressure on the waist is very great, very great, very great…
Assuming that the pressure on the lumbar spine is 100 when standing, the pressure will increase to 220 or more when bending down.
No matter moving a heavy box or picking up a piece of paper on the ground, don’t bend over directly.
Correct posture: Squat down, hold steady, and get up again.
If things are too heavy, don’t try to be brave and find help to carry them together.
2. Wrong posture with mobile phone

Whether it’s playing with mobile phones or looking down at computer screens, all [low-head] people are testing their necks.
Our necks are like bananas and have a slightly forward physiological radian.
Always looking down at the mobile phone will straighten the cervical spine, lose [curvaceous], and make the muscles in the front and back of the neck flexing and stretching excessively.
At that time, neck pain, shoulder pain, arm pain… all kinds of pain may find you.
Correct posture: head up, head up, head up.

Let the line of sight and mobile phone be as level as possible, looking a bit like taking a selfie.
3. Sit in the wrong position

Poor sitting posture is the most common cause of lumbago.
After sitting for a long time, the posture is easy to deform, bending over, hunching over, bowing down… will cause the lumbar spine and muscles to be excessively pulled and squeezed.
As time goes by, muscles and bones will also feel uncomfortable, and you will be the one who hurts in the end.
Correct posture: one word, straight.

Hold your head high and sit straight.
Don’t forget to get up for a walk every half hour or an hour.
Step 4: Stand in the wrong position

Many people know [sitting for a long time hurts the waist], so they all choose to work standing up.
As we said earlier, the pressure on the lumbar spine when standing will be less than that when bending over or sitting, but the waist will be tired when standing too long.
Correct method: Take a few books or a small box to raise one foot and rotate the two feet.

Also don’t stand for too long, move every half hour.
5. Wrong Squatting Position

Bend over, hunch over, squat down, many people use this posture when going to the toilet.
The combination of the three movements reduces the weight of the relevant muscles, but transfers a large amount of pressure to the knee joint and also increases the pressure of the lumbar spine, hurting both the knee and the waist, which can be said to be [two injuries at one stroke].
Don’t squat for too long, otherwise hemorrhoids and lumbago will come to you together…
Correct method: put the center of gravity at your feet and straighten your back.

Remember, don’t squat for a while.
Finally, we must tell you another little skill:
Regular exercise can also help you have good posture!
After strengthening the relevant muscles, the probability of low back pain, back pain and neck pain will be reduced a lot.
Still waiting for what, take time to exercise today!
