Good posture is defined as the most effective positioning of our bodies to withstand the force of gravity. Poor posture develops as a result of various factors, some associated with the structure of the body, often generated by a misalignment of the bones in the feet, and additionally factors of our environment. Because poor posture can negatively affect our health, requiring medication or prescription drugs for muscular stress and back pain, taking steps to improve posture will return many health benefits in the long term.

Determining whether your bad posture is caused by environmental factors or structural factors is the first step in correcting bad posture.
