Kehonasennon

Kehonasennon, often translated as posture, refers to the way an individual holds their body when standing, sitting, or lying down. It involves the alignment of the body's segments, particularly the spine, in relation to gravity. Good posture is characterized by a balanced and neutral alignment, where the body's structures are in their most efficient and least stressed positions. This typically means the head is balanced over the shoulders, the shoulders are back and relaxed, the abdomen is drawn in slightly, and the spine maintains its natural curves.

Conversely, poor posture can result from prolonged incorrect positions, muscle imbalances, or weakened core strength. Common examples include slouching, hunching the shoulders, or having an exaggerated lumbar curve. These deviations can lead to a range of issues. Over time, improper kehonasennon can contribute to muscle strain, fatigue, and pain, particularly in the back, neck, and shoulders. It can also affect breathing, digestion, and circulation. Furthermore, persistent poor posture may lead to more chronic musculoskeletal problems and affect confidence and appearance. Maintaining good kehonasennon is considered important for overall physical health and well-being.
