Upright posture doesn't mean the constant need to hold the back perfectly straight. What matters is keeping the natural curves of the spine and distributing the load through the body evenly.
Good posture helps you move more freely, reduces unnecessary tension and supports the health of the spine. A good position of the body also matters for the normal work of the internal organs, breathing and circulation.
A simple exercise for posture
Stand with your back to the wall and feel it with your heels, buttocks, shoulder blades and the back of your head. Press your little fingers into the wall and draw the shoulders back. Make sure the pelvis doesn't tip forward and stays neutral — without strong tucking or excessive arching of the lower back. A small, natural gap remains between the lower back and the wall.
Take a few calm breaths in and out, holding the position without strain.
This exercise helps you feel the correct position of the body and control your posture better in everyday life.
