This is a 20 page paper discussing the anatomical aspects of posture, good and poor posture, causes of poor posture, ailments and treatments. Many aspects of the anatomy affect a person’s posture which can easily turn from good into bad and painful. The spinal column provides the basis for good posture and naturally contains three curves which must be maintained. Muscles groups in the upper chest, back, trunk, lumbar region and in the lower extremities all contribute to the maintenance of good posture and when rehabilitation is required all muscle groups and their antagonists must be addressed. While poor posture seems natural to most people, proper posture must be a conscious effort applied on a daily basis which includes aspects in living space, work space and sleep environments. Many afflictions can be the result of poor posture such as migraine headaches, lower back pain, joint pain and nerve damage among others. Other than an awareness of good posture, many treatments are used for the rehabilitation of those patients who have severely bad posture which has resulted in an injury. Of the traditional methods there is exercise, stretching, strengthening and cardiovascular regimens which are applied. Physicians also recommend various perceptual control techniques, and mind-body therapies including yoga, tai chi, and the Alexander and Feldenkrais techniques among others. Selection of these therapies is largely based on the patient’s diagnosis and preference and what he or she is most likely to continue when the initial treatment has been completed.
