『Super Joint Posture』 is the 'Bible of Posture Correction' written by Dr. Je-pil Yoon, a specialist in Oriental Rehabilitation Medicine who is widely known as the nation's joint doctor through TV health programs and the personal physician of star athletes such as Shin-soo Choo of Major League Baseball and Hyung-taek Lee of tennis.

Through this book, readers will be able to accurately understand the structure of their body and at the same time develop correct posture habits.

What posture are you in while reading a book? Are you sitting comfortably in a chair, or are you standing and reading on your smartphone? Our days are filled with countless movements.
But just as not all of our choices in life are always the best, our moves are not always right.
Sometimes, bad posture can cause your body to become twisted.
(…) When pain or discomfort occurs, many people simply think it is due to getting older or fatigue.
Some people misunderstand it as being due to weight gain.
The serious problem is that even the mass media tends to reinforce these biases.

Joints are our body's GPS sensors, containing numerous sensory receptors.
Therefore, pain occurring in a joint does not necessarily mean a problem with the joint itself.
Joint pain requires a multifaceted approach because it can indicate a condition such as muscle shortening or weakness nearby, or a problem in other parts of the body such as internal organs further away.

After the age of 25, our bodies begin to age.
That is, the point at which growth ends is the beginning of aging.
After the age of 30, time is no longer on our side.
Just like in your 20s, the days when things would get better with time and you'd wake up feeling fine are over.
From now on, health will be determined more and more by individual lifestyle habits, such as diet management, sleep management, and exercise management.
As we age, our bodies undergo various changes.
Muscle mass gradually decreases, and bone density also decreases.
Skin elasticity and immunity also decline.

Record your lifestyle habits for a week to understand your eating habits, amount of exercise, amount of sleep, stress levels, etc.
You may vaguely think that you are eating well, sleeping well, and exercising well, but if you actually keep a record of it, you may discover surprising results.
Keeping a lifestyle log can be very helpful in identifying lifestyle patterns that are associated with pain.
Most likely, you will need to eat more, sleep more, and increase your exercise.
Healthy lifestyle habits not only help prevent and relieve pain, but also promote overall health.
It is important to develop healthy habits, such as regular exercise, getting enough sleep, eating a healthy diet, and managing stress.
Pain prevention doesn't happen overnight.
It is important to improve your body shape and habits and maintain a healthy lifestyle through continuous effort and consistent observation.

Recent studies have shown that when surgical and conservative treatments are combined to treat pain, there is no significant difference in long-term prognosis between the two methods.
Even more surprising is the fact that studies have reported that patients who did not undergo surgery returned to their daily lives more quickly than those who did, demonstrated better self-management skills in pain management and rehabilitation, and maintained a higher overall quality of life.

Pain is like a temporary warning sign, and sometimes the pain that interferes with our daily lives can be resentful.
But this pause provides an opportunity to rest and reflect on oneself.
Pain is a result of the inflammatory response and is simply a warning siren that the body uses to heal itself. Fearing and worrying about pain is not helpful, and trying to manage a busy schedule with a sore body can actually make things more difficult.
The warning signs that pain shows do not last forever, so it is important not to rush too much, even for the sake of your aching body.

Standing with good posture is very important for the strength and endurance of your spine and lower body muscles, as well as your overall body balance.
In particular, the buttock muscles are connected to the erector spinae muscles and play an essential role in keeping the spine straight.
Strengthening your hip muscles will also have a positive impact on your spinal health.
Just as a large tree needs to have deep and solid roots to stand firmly, when doing standing work, our torso can be seen as the trunk of the tree, and our hips as the roots.

A vibrant and healthy body is a flexible and soft body.
You should maintain your body's flexibility and health by doing stretching, light exercise, and walking correctly on a regular basis.
When life is born, the human body is soft and flexible.
In the final moments of life, the body hardens and becomes rigid.
In this way, vitality and health come from flexibility and softness.
