Postural Problems

As we get older, bad habits such as slouching and inactivity cause muscle fatigue and tension that ultimately lead to poor posture. The complications of poor posture include back pain, spinal dysfunction, joint degeneration, rounded shoulders and a potbelly.

What is the most common postural problem?

Having a forward head is a common bad posture. Others include swayback and flatback. Most posture problems can be solved by stopping poor habits and starting stretching and strengthening exercises that target the support muscles that are weak.
