Do you find yourself "slumping" occasionally? It's very common to slouch and let our sitting or standing form "relax" especially when we get tired. But keeping hindsight on your posture throughout the day can help contribute to a longer, healthier life now, and well into the future.

In This Episode You Will Learn:

1). Some of Meredith's personal experiences in working with clients of all ages and their thoughts on how posture has affected their physical well being over the years.

2). Why it's important to maintain strong core muscles which form the base of your overall posture whether seated or standing.

3). How your balance and stability strength directly affect your posture on a regular basis and why they are so intertwined.

4). Why it's so difficult to break the habit of "slouching" when we sit or stand and when we get tired.

5). How tension and stress often contribute to bad posture and what you can do to help minimize these effects.
