Most people know that their posture is not great, but they do not know how it is affecting them and more importantly what to do about it.
Let’s learn more about how our posture develops. As we age, physical and emotional stressors slowly change alignment from the natural curvature we were born with, to a weakened imbalanced posture that lacks the important curves.
The curves in our neck, upper back and lower back are developed early in life and designed to balance the amount of weight that our spine is carrying.
The natural spinal curves are SHIFTING due to our sedentary “tech-centric” lifestyles.
This is problematic for a few reasons.
Effect #1 : Tightness upper back, sore neck, stiff shoulders, low back ache, tension headaches, tight chest
Effect # 2 : Shallow breath, nerve tension, eye strain, carpal tunnel, decreased energy, impaired bowel movements, decreased circulation
Effect # 3 The Body’s communication Systems (including immune and digestive) in the body are impaired
