Standing Standing impacts posture to varying degrees.
In a neutral standing position, the chin is lifted and the head centred over the shoulder. Chest is lifted and hips neutral. The feet are slightly wider than hip width apart, knees slightly bent and feet stable on the floor with your body weight equallon both feet.
If a significant amount of time is spent standing, postural muscles can fatigue leading to faulty alignment. Lack of body awareness can also lead to improper posture while standing.
Commonly, the lumbar curve becomes exaggerated subsequently leading to changes in the thoracic spine. By being aware of standing position, one can alleviate a significant amount of postural dysfunctions.
If standing for long periods of time, it is ideal to shift your body weight from one leg to the other.
