Poor posture can be developed by sitting for long hours, using phones and tablets excessively, working on a computer, exercising improperly, or standing for long periods of time. What does poor posture look like? It’s described as having poor spinal alignment in the neck and back regions. Poor posture can affect breathing patterns, mood, hormone balance, blood pressure, pulse rate, headache, and a higher risk of mortality. Athletic performance and your ability to perform day-to-day activities are also significantly affected by poor posture.
The solution to poor posture is simple. First, consider changing the position of your chair at your desk, limiting the amount of time spent on your phone or tablet, or taking breaks to get up and walking around for a few minutes can cause a drastic reduction in symptoms experienced from poor posture.
