Most of spend our time at the workplace or at home working with laptops and computers. It’s likely that most of us sit with or shoulders hunched and rounded lower back with core muscles engaged. It is difficult that the body maintains straight posture every time. Slouching and inactivity widely contributes to poor posture and as a result, we begin experiencing spinal dysfunction and joint degeneration. Your body posture is dependent on 2 types of muscle fiber, static and phasic muscle fiber. The former is also called slow twitch while the latter is called fast twitch muscle. Both of these muscles are responsible for maintain straight posture, balance and support movement.
Static muscle fibers live under deep muscular layers and consume low energy. They’re responsible for maintain the posture effortlessly and create balance. Whereas, fast twitch support movement and burn energy faster than static muscle. Poor posture affects phasic muscle fibers which in turn limits the movement. Using a posture corrector enforces the body to maintain the desired posture and support movement. Scheduling stretching exercise in your workout routine is also helpful in maintain good posture. Regularly working out and engaging your muscles prevent muscle stiffness and improve movements. Therapists often recommend exercise, using ergonomic furniture and maintain correct posture by analyzing yourself.
