Joint problems – Over time, bad posture can negatively affect spine, knee, hip, ankle and feet joints because of the unnatural positioning and movement of the body due to bad posture.Organ functioning disruption – Poor posture impairs the functioning of organs like the intestines and lungs, causing digestive and breathing problems.Uncontrollable movements – The nerve system disruption, combined with stressed muscles and other tissues, can cause uncontrollable shaking and movements in the legs, arms, hands, etc.A misaligned spine disrupts nerve signaling, leading to symptoms like numbness and pain in various areas of the body. Nerve system disruption – The spine is the main nerve channel from which smaller nerves extend outward to serve the body.Back and neck pain – Supporting back and neck structures like muscles, tendons and ligaments are stressed and forced to move in unnatural ways.Consistently maintaining poor posture can lead to a host of medical problems far beyond back or neck pain:

The spine is crucial to supporting the body, movement and nerve signaling. These are just some of the activities where bad posture is commonly found. It is common for people to sit with a curved spine, slump over a desk while trying to read documents or computer screens and walk with the head pushed forward or tilted while looking down. The goal is to make good posture a regular habit. Correcting poor posture begins with awareness and making an effort to sit, stand, walk and sleep with good posture. Slouching or maintaining a curved spine places undue stress on the spine, the back’s supporting muscles and internal organs. Poor posture is a common cause of back and neck pain. Making some changes to posture and avoiding behaviors that strain the neck are often enough to prevent a stiff neck. It is a physical condition that can make it painful to sit, work, enjoy recreational activities, perform daily activities and get a good night’s sleep.
