Stand up straight

Mom was right to nag us. If you slouch, your back or neck may hurt and slouching may be why.

Get comfortable with how it feels to stand up straight - shoulders back, head up, chin up, and spine straight.

If you're not sure how it feels, look at yourself in a full-length mirror. Good posture balances the
head directly above the neck and a straight spine.

Try standing against a wall, your shoulder blades and buttocks should touch with your head about an inch away.
