Although your mother may have reminded you to “sit up straight” when you were younger, there are more ways than just that to improve posture and maintain it for life. Posture is the way you hold your body, whether you’re sitting, standing, lying down, or moving. Since posture involves your joints, ligaments, muscles, spine, and tendons, practicing good posture provides a number of health benefits. These include:
  • Better balance
  • Easier breathing
  • Greater flexibility
  • Improved digestion
  • Less neck, back, and shoulder pain

Back to school means it is time for fall sports like football, cheerleading, and soccer. Cross country and golf are also fall sports. Sports are big in high school, offering the opportunity for exercise as well as being part of a team. However, a risk of participating in a fall sport is injury. While the risk of injury should not be a reason to not participate, it’s still important to learn what can cause fall sports injuries so your child can best avoid them.
