What are the most appropriate spine positions?

A visual for alignment would be attempting to retract shoulder blades in a fashion where they nearly touch as they close in on the spine. Notice how excessive thoracic kyphosis or bend is now reduced, which results in a more appropriate neck angle of chin retraction and neck lengthening.

Another great visual reminder is to picture your spine as an accordion, where too much squeeze causes too much pressure. The pressure in turn drives disc leakage, inflammation and pain. As such, all daily activities can try to adhere to less downward pressure or twisting motions.
