Poor computer posture can lead to physical therapy.
But many physical therapists use complex, confusing words.
This article will talk about a couple of those words, explained simply.
Anterior vs Posterior Muscles Explained Simply for Better Computer Posture
→ Anterior
A medical term used to describe part of the front of the body.
This can include chest, biceps, quadriceps, abdominal muscles, etc…
→ Posterior
Used to describe part of the back of the body (the opposite of anterior).
This can include back, triceps, glutes, hamstrings, etc…
Like most people, I didn’t know what anterior and posterior meant for the longest time.
I finally learned it when I took a class to be a Certified Posture Specialist.
I couldn’t help but think, computer users need to understand this in a simpler way.
As office workers, we’re busy as 💩.
To fix our computer posture, we need the minimal amount of info, that’ll lead to the most results.
That’s who I write for (not physical therapists).
