How Can You Teach Good Posture?
Teaching good posture has to be more than just telling someone to “sit up straight” and to “stop slouching!” Taking this approach seem to give the impression that achieving good posture is just about remembering to have it.
While you will have to remember to sit up straight from time to time, the focus has to be on building stronger postural muscles. By doing this, you will make it easier to sit up straight and keep from slouching.
You will have fewer instances to have to “remember.”
If this is the case, then teaching good posture has to be about getting stronger in your back muscles and, just as importantly, stretching the muscles on the front of your body.
Your body is not trying to slouch. After all, you feel better when you have better posture and your body is all about that. The force of gravity acting on your body constantly just keeps pulling you down.
If your body has an easier time keeping you up (because it’s strong), it will certainly do so. However, if your daily activities involve sitting at a workstation that is not suited for you and you never get around to performing some sort of posture improving exercise, you’re going to struggle.
Your body can only keep up the fight for sitting up straight for as long as your muscles can hold out. If you are trying to teach good posture to someone, you’re going to have to help them understand that bad posture is not about improving memory.
