Before we begin on posture and body mechanics, let's first delve into muscle names, locations, and groups so you can better understand your body. We will break the body into groups and then go into the mechanics of typical incorrect movement patterns and how you can adjust those in your daily life to have correct mechanics and free your body from pain.
There are 680 muscles, 206 bones, and 360 joints in the human body. That's a lot of working parts that need to work well together in order for us to function and be pain free. The majority of us deal with pain to chronic pain daily due in large part to poor posture, overuse, and incorrect body mechanics. This can be corrected with knowledge of how to stretch, move, and adjust patterns of movement. You do not need to know all of the muscles, bones, and joints, but you do need to have a working knowledge of the main groups that contribute to some of the more common problems in posture and movement patterns. We will take these group by group in forthcoming Posts.
