What is your posture number?
Gravity Works Against You All Day Long. What are you going to do about it?

Gravity never sleeps. This relentless force pulls our bodies downward 24 hours a day. These forces are minimized when your posture is neutral, as seen in the picture at the far left. But as a person's posture worsens, the gravitational forces put additional stress and tension on muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments. Certain muscles will shorten and become weak, and others will get longer and become weak.

It's obvious to even the casual observer that the posture profiles shown in the pictures on the left place unusual stresses on muscles, ligaments and joints. In addition, the changes in the Center of Mass and Center of Gravity triggers the body's balance system to work overtime. A vicious cycle of tension, pain and weakness continues until you do something about it. What can you do about it?
