What is Bad Posture?

Bad posture isn’t just about slouching—it’s about staying in one position for too long. Whether you’re hunched over a laptop or sitting perfectly straight, being static disrupts your body’s natural alignment.

Hunched Back Posture:

Slouching forward, often caused by prolonged sitting or screen use.

Anterior Pelvic Tilt:

Excessive arch in the lower back due to weak core and tight hip flexors.

Forward Head Posture:

Head jutting forward, putting strain on the neck and shoulders.

Rounded Shoulders:

Shoulders slumped forward, leading to poor spinal alignment.

The Negative Impact of Bad Posture

Spine Health

Bad posture can accelerate spinal wear and tear, leaving it more prone to injury.

Limited Flexibility

Bad posture restricts your range of motion, diminishing flexibility over time.

Bad posture strains the spine; good posture distributes weight, reducing strain.

Increased Energy Levels

Good posture boosts circulation, increasing oxygen to the brain and muscles.

Enhanced Lung Capacity

Misalignment limits lung capacity, while good posture allows fuller breaths.
