One of the most important things to consider in terms of a healthy back and neck is posture. A good posture involves training your body to sit, walk, lie and stand in positions that put the least strain on your body as possible. To practise a healthy standing position:
Stand against a wall with your heels approximately 6 centimetres away from the wall.
Move the small of your back toward the wall by tilting your pelvis.
Keep your knees slightly bent and make sure not to lock them in a straight position.
Ideally, your shoulders are in a straight line with your torso and not rounded forward and slumped over.
Your head is fairly centred over the top of your chest and in a level position, and your neck is fairly straight, with a slight forward curve.
Always try to move about and alternate your position frequently (about every 20 minutes) if you have to stand for a long period of time. Change positions to keep your muscles and spine relaxed.
