Building Posture from the Ground Up

Ideal posture is the alignment of our bodies which minimizes stress and strain on our joints and maximizes our muscular advantage. Form refers to such alignment during movement, such as during sport or dance. It is especially important to practice proper posture and form when recovering from an injury because it helps to reduce adverse strain at the injury site, without stressing other areas and allows your muscles to move and support you in the best way possible. Practising good form helps to prevent muscular imbalances and compensation strategies that are associated with injury.
