Do’s and Don’ts for Good Posture

✅ Do’s

• Sit upright with your back straight, shoulders relaxed, and feet flat on the ground.
• Stand tall — keep your head aligned with your spine, chest open, and weight balanced on both feet.
• Take short breaks every 30–40 minutes if you are sitting for long hours. Stretch, walk, or simply reset your posture.
• Use ergonomic furniture — chairs with proper lumbar support and desks at eye level.
• Hold devices at eye level to avoid bending your neck forward while using phones, tablets, or laptops.
• Strengthen core and back muscles with regular exercise, yoga, or stretching routines.
• Use the C to I symbol as your reminder — whenever you see it, correct your posture immediately.

❌ Don’ts

• Don’t slouch, hunch, or lean forward for long periods.
• Don’t cross your legs for too long while sitting, as it disturbs spinal alignment.
• Don’t crane your neck downward to look at mobile screens.
• Don’t sit in one position for hours — movement is key.
• Don’t overload one shoulder with heavy bags; distribute weight evenly.
• Don’t ignore early signs of discomfort, stiffness, or back pain — they are signals to correct posture.
• Don’t treat posture correction as a one-time effort — it is a daily habit.
