• Walk Tall. Be proud, don’t hunch. Elongate the spine and pull the shoulders back. This will likely have the bonus effect of also boosting your confidence.

• Eyes Ahead. Looking down at your phone or at the ground strains the upper back and neck.

• Stand Strong. A stable core is the key to effortless posture and protects the spine.

The evidence is clear. Numerous research studies consistently show the multitude of health benefits that come from walking. It’s good for our physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. It’s also one of the best things you can do for your spine and posture.

• Physical health:
Brisk walking keeps joints lubricated, improves cardiorespiratory function and muscle strength.

• Brain health:
Regular walks stimulate BDNF, a protein that helps neurons grow and protects against cognitive decline.

• Emotional health:
Going for a walk can reduce stress hormones and increase feel-good endorphins.
