IMPROVING POSTURE FOR MORE HEIGHT
Before we go into the more intricate phases of our program let's touch first
upon a more simple solution ?for obtaining your
maximum height ? posture correction. Many people rob
themselves of extra height because they fail to realize that a good posture is
essential for maximum height increase. Correct posture involves more than just
standing straight and erect. You must train each part of your body to maintain
its proper position. You must learn how to hold your head, your pelvis, your
legs, sit correctly, walk correctly, plus numerous
other do's and don'ts to assure you of achieving every possible inch of height.
"TILTED PELVIS PROBLEM"
The pelvis acts as a lever and directly influences our posture and stature.
When the pelvis is carried too far forward, the condition is termed a Milted
Pelvis". This condition directly robs you of extra height and is generally
the result of a person with lack of stomach muscles and who usually has a large
stomach. (We've designed several exercises included in chapters 5 and 6 to
strengthen stomach muscles and remedy this condition). Persons with weak knee
Joints often have this condition which is also remedied by exercises in
chapters 5 and 6.
TILTED PELVIS CURVATURE OF THE SPINE
To remedy this condition, perform exercise No. 3 in
Chapter 4 a few additional times each day. Develop the habit of carrying your
head high with your chin up. Shoulders should always be kept back and not
allowed to droop forward. Especially, in women where this
condition could result in sagging breasts. However, be careful not to
develop a stiff, rigid posture which can impede proper breathing. Be sure to
maintain the proper posture in a relaxed and comfortable manner.

"KNOCK?KNEES AND BOW LEGS"
These two common deformations of the legs, which are not unusual, frequently
rob their victims of added inches. Persons with, knock?knees usually walk with the bulk of their weight on
the in?step (inner arch) of their feet. To remedy
this condition, they should walk with their arches raised and with their weight
concentrated on the outer rim of their soles. In doing so, the knees will be
separated naturally and straighter legs will be developed. Foot doctors can
prescribe special shoes (or inserts) for this purpose. The condition known as bow?legs is the exact opposite of knock?knees, therefore, the remedy would be to concentrate
the bulk of these weight on the instep, instead of the outer rim. Special shoes
(or inserts) can be prescribed for this purpose also.
"ROUND SHOULDERS"
This is a condition where there is an abnormal curvature of the upper part of
the spine combined with an unnatural forward thrust of the shoulders. One of
the symptoms of round shoulders is carrying the head too far forward.
