Posture-ous

  • Never sleep on your stomach (?)
  • Pick a mattress that supports you, but is neither too hard nor too soft
  • Adjust your car seat or steering wheel so your elbows are always bent at least 30 degrees while you are driving.
  • When you stand, make sure your body follows its vertical plumb-lines
  • When you sit, shoulders should be aligned vertically over the hips. Do not cross your legs at the thigh.
  • Sit symmetrically so there is equal pressure on both hips
  • Do not carry a wallet in your back pocket; it will work as a wedge and cause misalignment of your hips and pelvis
  • Avoid high-heeled boots and shoes; wear footwear with shock-absorbing rubber soles.
