Why is a good posture important?

Majority of us live a busy lifestyle, not to mention, some of us may not exercise regularly. If you look around most people are sitting in front of their computer all day, some looking down on their smartphones when they commute. What they have in common is a hunched-over position.

The modern lifestyle greatly affects our posture. You may think that some poor habits are small. But accumulating these small habits, it can snowball into a big issue for the posture. Getting used to your poor posture and a combination of gravity contributes to a tight neck, back and shoulder muscles. This makes it even more challenging to maintain good posture due to the weak muscles.

Poor posture can be mood and energy-sapping. If your spine isn’t balanced, your muscles work harder just to keep you upright. Here are some of the benefits of good posture:

• Prevents pain
• More efficient body movement
• Better range of motion
• Improves blood circulation
• Lesser pressure on organs
• Look thinner
