What is good posture?
How much does posture mean to you? Have you thought about it? Do you think about your posture when you go to a job interview or when you go to a meeting? You may not be aware of your own posture but very attentive to others.

Poor posture can cause pain and the following physical ailments:
- Tension headache
- Neck pain
- Pain in the chest and arms
- Pain in the groin and hips
- Depression and low energy
- Pressure over the chest
- Difficulty breathing deeply
- Pressure over the stomach and internal organs
Good posture gives you more energy and charisma and affects the body as follows:
- Stronger back
- You will be taller
- You breathe easier
- The stress hormone cortisol decreases
- The stomach is activated
- Pain in the shoulders, back and head decreases
- Gives increased self-confidence
- Improves sports performance
Reduced sick leave
Good posture and ergonomics contribute to fewer sick leaves. A strong and proud posture reduces negative workload, back pain and other shoulder and back related injuries.
Better self-confidence
Good posture gives a wonderful radiance of pondus, security and self-confidence. You radiate a security that spreads to the inner feeling but also to how you are experienced.
Reduced stress
Good posture reduces the stress hormone cortisol by 25%. When a person is nervous and scared, they often bend to a bad posture so as not to be “seen”, which increases the stress hormone.
- Ear, shoulder, hip, knee and ankle are in a straight line above each other
- S-curvature of the spine
- From the front, the shoulders, hips and knees should be parallel to each other
- The body should be able to stand relaxed upright, without conscious effort
