Maintaining a good posture isn’t just great for your body aesthetics but excellent for your overall well being. How? A good natural posture improves blood circulation, enhances the agility of your lower body, and makes you feel refreshed throughout the day. 

However, with the current desk-bound work environment and sedentary lifestyle, the back and core muscles become weak. These muscles are responsible for maintaining correct posture. Therefore, maintaining the correct stance and the natural spine alignment can become challenging. 

Thankfully, various therapies, wearable devices such as back posture support, exercises, and lifestyle habits can help you regain your natural posture. 

All these therapies aim to activate and strengthen your weakened back and core muscles. Therefore combining these therapies can give you better outcomes. 

In this article, we’ll explain the various ways you can strengthen your supportive muscles and achieve a good posture. 

Let’s get started! 

How To Encourage A Good Posture? 

Use An Upper Back Posture Corrector

Slouching is one of the most prominent bad posture practices that subject extensive stress to your spine. It disrupts the naturally balanced pressure distribution on your spine, joints, and muscle fibres. As a result, your entire back gets strained, and you experience postural aches. 

It’s no secret that you understand the correct spine alignment. However, due to weakened muscles and inadequate support, slouching becomes the more convenient solution. An upper back posture corrector overcomes this by retraining your back muscles and spinal structures to hold a healthy and natural posture.

The Posture brace designed by BackpainHelp in conjunction with London Spine Clinic features a flexi three-core backplate and high-tension webbing. These specific features provide posture support that encourages your body to extend the spine, engage your back muscles and core and support a lasting healthy, correct posture. You can wear it for a few hours daily to retrain your muscles.

Design An Ergonomic Workplace

You can use a portable laptop stand, a lumbar support chair, neck supportive wearable devices to prevent excessive pressure on your spine and tech neck. In fact, you can wear your back posture support brace during your work hours when you tend to slouch the most. You can maintain a uniform pressure distribution while activating your muscles.

Typically you spend at least 5-6 hours every day on your work desk. If your workstation isn’t ergonomically designed, you can land up in a bad and uncomfortable posture, which translates into increased muscle strain. 

Perform Exercises To Train Your Back Muscles And Core

A combined approach is always better than using a single intervention to correct your posture. Introduce a planned exercise session in your daily lifestyle. 

You’ll require strong muscle to support the natural spinal curvature. A well-designed workout plan with core strengthening exercises such as planks, various pilate exercises, crunches, etc., will maintain your body and spine in proper shape. Try low-impact muscle strengthening exercises. 

It is advisable that you consult with your physiotherapist or healthcare professional before starting your exercise regime. 

When you combine these three efficient approaches- back brace, exercise, and ergonomic support you can feel and experience results within a few days. While you need to continue exercising and using ergonomic support, you can gradually reduce your dependency on a back posture brace.
