Posture: Posture varies from individual to individual. Posture means position or pose. The way an individual carries himself while sitting, standing and walking. There are numerous concepts and views regarding human posture and its significance- "The best posture is that in which the body segments are balanced in the position of least strain and maximum support," according to Metheny. The general characteristics of a good posture are-erectness, balance, alignment and ease. In good postural body alignment, the centre of gravity of all the segments such as head, neck and trunk will fall as nearly in a straight vertical line which passes nearly through the centre of the feet.
