Posture refers to the body’s alignment and positioning with respect to the force of gravity. Whether we are standing, sitting or lying down gravity exerts a force on our joints, ligaments and muscles. Good posture in whatever position we are in entails distributing the force of gravity through our body so no one structure is overstressed.
To achieve maximum functionality it is important to be well supported while sitting and lying.
