Running & Posture

Running efficiently and pain free has a lot to do with your
posture.
Every runner has his or her own style, but it is important to
have a good running
posture and technique to minimise the risk of injury and improve
running efficiency.
The most important concept is to
RUN TALL!
Keep a good upright
posture when running and stay relaxed.
Your body should be straight, with your chest up and open
allowing space for maximum breathing efficiency.
Don’t
lean forwards, backwards or
slouch as this will
affect your technique and possibly lead to lower back pain.
Keep your head up and eyes gazing naturally at the horizon
don’t run with your head down.
Your shoulders
should be back and level, do not round the shoulders or swing
them forwards or backwards.
Wearing a posture support can prevent a slouching posture and
stabilise the shoulders helping to keep them relaxed during
running.
The Perfect Posture
support is lightweight
and comfortable to wear whilst running. It is made from a
breathable, skin
friendly material which will not cause any additional
sweating.
Wearing the back brace will help keep the
shoulders back thus
opening the chest
for improved breathing efficiency whilst running.
A posture brace
will help improve your posture helping you achieve the
perfect, upright posture to keep you running TALL!
