Joint pain is not just caused by aging or exercising wrong; it is also caused just by day to day living, usually through incorrect posture. After all, when you force your body to go into strange positions all of the time without rest, things are going to get strained and worn down more quickly! Incorrect posture is one of the worst offenders for various joint pains and ailments, so if you want to get rid of your pain and prevent future pain, it is time to start correctly the way you sit and stand!

Sitting

When seated, many people have a tendency to hunch their shoulders, curve their spine, and lock their legs into place, often for hours on end. This is exacerbated by the widespread use of computers in offices and workplaces where you have little choice but to sit in an uncomfortable position for your body for a long time. Over time, this strain leads to sore back, sore shoulders and a sore butt and tailbone. It also contributes to things like carpel tunnel syndrome and headaches.

If you want to get rid of and prevent joint pain from sitting for too long, change your posture. Straighten your back, throw back your shoulders in a more aligned position and make sure to get up and walk around regularly so that the rest of your body gets a good stretch. You can also invest in a good pad for your seat so that your butt does not get sore and stiff. This will also make you feel a bit more awake and energized so you can do your work.

Standing/Walking

When standing or walking, many people tend towards slouching, caving in on themselves or generally carrying themselves in such a way that the body cannot move freely and feels constricted. This leads to sore backs, shoulders, legs, arms, and necks because if one part of the body is constricted, everything will suffer to one extent or another.

Get rid of joint pain and stiffness by walking upright, shoulders back, chest forward and at a comfortable pace. Not only with this get rid of pain and suffering, but walking upright also conveys confidence, relaxation, and attentiveness; something that is attractive in all parts of life, from your job to your relationships. It also imparts self confidence; you feel stronger, more controlled and more attractive when you are able to look the world in the eye! Walking slouched over and hunched conveys a low self esteem, secrecy and untrustworthiness, all of which make it more difficult for people to like you and trust you.

Bad posture is not just a sign of laziness or tiredness, it is also a cause for joint pain. The best remedy for this sort of joint pain is to start standing and sitting correctly; upright and with your shoulders back, and to make sure you stretch a bit in long stints while sitting or take a break if you are standing and walking a lot to sit down. When you start taking care of yourself, you will be rewarded with far less joint pain and stiffness which means less money spent on painkillers and less time in pain!
