First of all, you will be shown how to determine your own posture, before comparing yourself to
a number of common posture types.

Below are examples of how a Sway Back Posture in the side view and a Twisted Pelvis in the rear 
view would look. Notice the forward hip and knees in the side picture and the forward left hand 
position illustrated by a smaller gap between the arm and the body in the rear picture. 

Now use these guidelines for your own photo' and compare the different Posture Types.

Once you have determined your posture type, it is now time to understand how your posture is 
out of alignment. The section Static Posture Correction provides this information for each of the 
different types of altered posture, and will provide information on how certain muscles have 
changed, in terms of length (flexibility) and tension (strength) and how this has impacted on the 
skeleton.

It also details how certain muscle groups need to be exercised in order to reset the altered posture, 
as well as lists of exercises from the Exercise Database to use as a starting point. By exercising 
muscles other than detailed in each posture type, the problem will develop and the chances of 
injuries, aches and pains increase significantly. 

If you have a Neutral Posture, CONGRATULATIONS, you are one of a minority. You will find the 
next Section, Step 4 of more use and should focus your resistance exercise program on Total Body 
and Core exercises, with the aims of maintaining your current posture and avoiding any of the 
altered positions. You should also consider your occupational posture, for example if you have a 
sedentary job in an office, you would need to use the Kyphosis Posture Correction exercises.
