The Importance of Posture
It has been said that posture is the window to the spine. That's because
what we see in the mirror is caused by what is happening to the muscles and
bones underneath the skin. In reality, posture is a window to our health. It
should be treated as an indicator, much like blood pressure can be used as an
indicator of cardiovascular health.
Major Posture Studies

• "All measures of health status showed significantly poorer scores as C7
plumb line deviation increased."

• "Older men and women with hyperkyphotic posture have higher mortality rates.
American Journal of Pain Management, 1994
• "Spinal pain, headache, mood, blood pressure, pulse, and lung capacity are
among the functions most easily influenced by posture."

Heart Disease And Early Death
• "Height loss was associated with a 42% increased risk of coronary events
such as heart attacks, even in men who had no history of cardiovascular
disease.
