Fortunately, with the right support and intervention, proper posture can be achieved without having to resort to expensive treatments. Learn to do just that by reading on! 

1. Mind your posture

Whether you’re standing up or sitting down, be mindful of your posture and make a habit of maintaining one.

2. Exercise

Certain types of exercises like yoga or other activities that promote body awareness may help improve your posture by strengthening your core

3. Maintain a healthy weight

Having extra weight may lead to weaker abdominal muscles. This, in turn, can lead to issues in the pelvis and spine, leading to back pain.
