Stand like Prince Charles to banish back pain: Surprising and simple ways to transform your health
For perfect posture — and to reduce back pain, among a host of other things — interlink your fingers from each hand behind your back, just like Prince Charles.
This will open up your chest and get your shoulders back and down, reversing the slumping posture many people have while sitting. Poor posture will throw the body out of its correct alignment, so certain muscles become overworked, while others, such as the stomach muscles, start to weaken through lack of use. This can cause undue stress and strain, especially on the lower back.
