5 Posture types
1. Healthy (Good) Posture
Having good posture should keep your body aligned. When standing, if you have your ears lined up over your shoulders, your shoulders lined over your hips, and your hips aligned over your ankles, you stand with healthy posture. Good sitting posture includes two flat feet on the ground, engaged core, upright shoulders, and an even distribution of weight on both hips. Sitting cross legged can cause misalignment of your hips and spine. Practicing good posture and keeping your spine aligned are the most important things you can do for your back.
2. Kyphosis
Kyphosis is a common condition that results in forward rounding of your upper back region. Compared to natural curves which have an arc around 20-50 degrees, kyphosis has an excess curve greater than 50 degrees. This causes a hunching back and makes you appear to be slouching. Kyphosis can be seen at any age but is most commonly seen in older women after osteoporosis weakens the bones in the spine until they crack and compress. If you suffer from kyphosis, you may be experiencing back pain or stiffness and have rounded shoulders. A JTB Premium Posture corrector will assist in training your shoulders to fall back in their natural alignment.
3. Flatback
The spine has a natural curve. It has two curves forming an “S” like shape. When you have flatback syndrome the spine loses the lower curve and becomes flat. This causes the spine to become imbalanced and the person tends to lean forward. If you have flat back you may have trouble standing up straight or having constant back or leg pain. The flat back syndrome may develop due to degenerative disc disease, ankylosing spondylitis or compression fractures. If this is you, we recommend using our JTB Premium posture corrector to assist your back to return back to natural alignment.
4. Swayback
Everyone has a natural curve in their spine, it is called lordosis. But when your posture exaggerates this spinal curve, it can cause hyperlordosis or swayback. When this condition occurs, the spine curves inward at the lower back and neck area. It usually causes back pain and discomfort as well as affecting your ability to move. When you suffer from swayback it may appear that you are sticking out your stomach and buttocks. It also causes your shoulders to sit further back and your head tilts forward. This will throw off your balance and force your lower back to work harder. This posture condition can be caused by many different things including:
- Pregnancy
- Kyphosis
- Stomach Sleeping
- Obesity
- High Heels
If you think this is your posture, plan to ditch the heels and try sleeping on your side or back. You could also benefit from a JTB Premium Posture Corrector to correct and aid any spine deformity.
5. Forward head
In this posture position, the neck and head are in a forward position where the head is extending out past the shoulders. It is more common today than ever for people to experience something called “tech neck”, caused by constantly hunching over our phones and computers all day resulting in a forward neck tilt. You may be experiencing stiffness, or pain in your neck, shoulders, and back. The body will follow where your head goes, so if your head is forward, your shoulders and back will also hunch forward. Anyone can benefit from JTB Premium posture correctors considering how fast technology is growing in our lives. Your neck is designed to stay vertical to support the weight of your skull, which on average is about 10-12 pounds. Every inch that your head falls forward, it adds another 10 pounds of stress on the shoulders, neck, back, and spine.
