Upright and relaxed is the recipe for perfect posture, and the way to get it is through practice. You don't need to rig up a posture strap to improve your posture. Just start practicing, and soon the muscles will do the work for you.

Tips and Tricks for Better Posture

To begin, be aware of your posture as you sit or stand. Relax your arms and pull your shoulders back. When sitting, keep both feet on the floor and use low-back support, if the seat warrants.

• Stand upright and look in the mirror. The right and left sides of your body should match. Turn sideways. Your head, shoulders, hips, and feet should be stacked up in a vertical line. Don't lean!
• Manage your workstation ergonomics. Your monitor should be at eye level. Your elbows should be at a 90-degree angle as you type, and your feet should be flat on the floor.
• Ask your chiropractor whether custom foot orthotics are needed to correct imbalances.

There's a side benefit to improving your posture: You look better (just as Mom said you would). Poor posture makes you look heavier and older. Stand tall and people will notice!
