Poor Posture

Common Causes:

Poor posture can stem from various factors, and understanding these is crucial for effective treatment. Here are some common causes:

Prolonged Sitting or Standing: Spending long hours in awkward positions can lead to muscle fatigue and discomfort.
Slouching at a Desk or Screen: Many people unknowingly adopt poor sitting habits, which can strain the back and neck.
Looking Down at Phones/Devices ('Tech Neck'): The increasing use of mobile devices can lead to tension in the neck and shoulders.
Weak Core or Postural Muscles: Insufficient strength in these areas can contribute to instability and poor posture.
Poor Ergonomic Setup: An inadequate workspace can exacerbate posture issues, making it uncomfortable to work for extended periods.
Lack of Movement or Regular Stretching: A sedentary lifestyle can lead to stiffness and muscle imbalances.

Posture-Related Issues:

The implications of poor posture extend beyond mere discomfort. Here are some issues commonly associated with it:

Back, Neck, and Shoulder Pain: Poor function and joint restrictions can lead to chronic pain in these areas.
Headaches and Fatigue: Tension headaches are often a result of poor posture.
Reduced Flexibility and Mobility: Poor posture can limit your range of motion.
Muscle Imbalances and Joint Sprain: Over time, this can lead to further complications and pain.
Poor Breathing Patterns and Digestion: Poor spinal biomechanics and a ‘hunched over' posture can affect how you breathe and digest food.
Long-term Spinal Problems: If left unaddressed, poor posture can lead to severe spinal issues and become very difficult to treat.
