How you stand is very important. Try to keep the pelvis under the spine when you stand. That way, the broad pelvic bones will support the spinal column with the most effectiveness.
\nWhen standing, avoid folding your shoulders in on your body as you hunch your back. Women often do this. I see this as the body language of a person who is hiding her breasts. Young girls begin to use this posture for protection as their breasts develop. This posture is bad for the respiratory system. It also makes the spine have a more pronounced “S” curve than is healthy.
\nWearing properly fitting shoes cannot be overstated. For women, don’t wear a heal over two inches high. Take care not to wear shoes that are too tight or small. Shoes with heels throw the spine out of alignment and are very stressful to your lower back. Boots that come up over the ankles can make a sore back even more sore. When buying shoes, stick with the “Comfort” brands: Merrell, Birkenstock, Dansko, SAS, Keen, Clarks.
\nTry to go barefoot at least an hour each day. This is very important for decreasing muscle tension in the back. If you are uncomfortable with nothing on your feet, try wearing socks.
\nMake sure your socks and stockings fit properly.
\nWhen standing for long periods, move around a bit. Shift your weight from one foot to the other. If possible, stand for a few moments with your feet several inches away from a wall, and lean your back against it.
\nIf your feet are painful, visit a podiatrist. You’re doing nothing good for your back if you are ignoring your painful feet.
