Linda Carlsson dipl. Postural Therapist at Caverus has developed a number of exercises that strengthen muscle groups that contribute to a better posture. A good posture means that the ear, shoulder, hip, knee and ankle are in a straight line above each other with an S-curvature in the spine. From the front, shoulders, hips and knees should be parallel to each other. The body should be able to stand upright, without conscious effort. According to Linda, there are many ways to train for a better posture. What we often see as posture training are exercises that strengthen large muscle groups, which appear to provide a better posture but require a great deal of effort to maintain. The muscles are trained to cope with keeping the body in a better posture for a longer period of time, but when the muscle becomes tired and relaxes, the body will fall back to a bad posture...
