Understanding Poor Posture
Causes & Effects Of Poor Posture on Your Health
Many people lead extremely busy lives and are simply unaware of the bad habits they have adopted that contribute to poor posture. Common causes include:
Repetitive Texting
These activities can cause rounded shoulders and hunched backs.
Carrying Heavy Schoolbags
This can strain the shoulders and back.
Sitting At Poorly Designed Workstations
This can lead to stoops, downward-pointing chins, and heads hanging too far over the body.
Driving For Long Periods
Car, van, and truck seats naturally make you sit in a hunched manner, generating tension in your shoulder muscles.
