The two different types of posture are as follows.
Dynamic Posture– The way you hold yourself when you move, like walking, running, or bending your body.
Static posture– The way you hold yourself when you aren’t moving. This entails sitting, standing, or sleeping.
Having both good dynamic and static posture is essential to your health.
