Posture

Today at the Absoluteptllc blog we are going to talk about posture. You probably now are recalling all the times your mom said “look at your posture!” or “Do you want to look like the hunchback of Notre Damme?”. But Posture is much more than that. It is the relationship between the body parts and their environment. You want your femur and tibia to be properly aligned so you can go up and down stairs without hurting. Posture involves the perfect interaction of your brain with your bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and all the connective tissue.
When you drive your car, you want all the parts to be working well so you can get from point A to point B safely. When you are on a plane, you definitely want all the parts to be working well. Why would we treat our bodies differently?
Pierre Weil and Roland Tompakow in their book Notre corps parle : Le Langage silencieux de la communication non verbal point out that posture it is not only biomechanical correlations but also involved in your emotions like confidence and self-esteem.
Posture is a combination of your biomechanical structure with your emotional traits. It will change throughout the day based on your interpersonal relationships and your response to each stimulus from the environment. If you are sitting for a long time at the computer, you will change your posture several times to accommodate your body parts. If you go to an interview you will try to show yourself as confident and open and therefore have a solid, upright posture.
keep in tune that soon we will post an exercise that works the entire kinetic chain from your head to your toes. I like to do this exercise after a long day at work because it not only helps me to relax but also helps to maintain the muscles in their proper position so they can be more efficient.
