So how does this relate to feeling instant results? When you read about the posture correcting devices below and make a decision as to which one fits your lifestyle, you will notice that you will feel soreness after the first wear, or the first exercise. All of these symptoms are caused by the simple fact that you are not practicing good posture by placing your foot up on the bottom shelf of your workbench. Your body naturally defaults to this elevated foot position several times a day and you find that your leg or foot starts to fall asleep now, and you have this back pain that you never felt before. You start to feel pain in your upper or lower back because you have shifted your body weight into an unnatural position, impacting other infrequently used postural muscles. What is actually happening without you even realizing it, is that your upper back gradually loses muscle mass because your back muscles do not need to support your spine as it once did, because your foot and leg is now taking on the pressure of supporting your spine. For example if you stand at a high-top workbench for most of the day and you start to place your foot on the bottom shelf as a crutch to give your back a break, you will soon find that this foot placement will be practiced more and more because you feel like you are giving your back a break. When your posture starts to slip, your body adopts bad habits gradually and they become the new comfortable standard. Bad posture does not happen overnight and therefore good posture will not happen immediately either.
When I say results, I don’t mean an instantly perfect and straight back, but more of a soreness like you just worked out for the first time in a while. Whichever posture correcting device works for you, you can typically see results within the same day. The first step to achieving good posture is to determine what part of the day your posture starts to slip so you can take action during that time. Changing your posture habits isn’t as hard as you think, and you can actually start to see improvement in as little as a few hours.
Instead of choosing the typical resolutions like dieting or exercise that will most likely get broken within the first 2 weeks, why not have a goal that provides instant results such as practicing good posture? If you have noticed that your posture has been suffering for months or even years, you may want to forego the standard new year’s resolution and straighten up your posture instead. Like many of us, you are probably still deciding on the perfect New Year’s Resolution.
