Small Tweaks = Big Results
Improving your posture doesn’t mean becoming rigid or robotic. It’s about making small, consistent changes that help your body move and feel better throughout the day.
Remember that posture is dynamic – not something to ‘hold’ perfectly, but something to be aware of and adjust throughout your day.

The 3 steps to better posture
There are 3 steps you need to take to improve your posture.
Firstly, you need to be able to get into a ‘neutral’ position, or 'good posture' position. This is essentially asking the question, “Are your joints actually mobile enough to get into the right position?”.
Secondly, you need to stretch and loosen muscles and tissues that have become tight due to your ‘poor’ posture.
Thirdly, you need to strengthen the right muscles. There are lots of exercises you can do to help strengthen the these muscles. However, the 7 tips in the video above will help with your posture awareness and also your postural fitness, as the more time you spend in the good positions, the stronger you get in those positions.
