PAUSE for a moment and without adjusting your body in any way, notice your posture.
Are you slouching? Are your shoulders hunched forward? Is your neck pushed forward slightly and your head tilted down?
It’s easy to forget to pay attention to your posture when you’re caught up in everything you have to get done in the day.
If your job keeps you deskbound you probably know all about the back and shoulder problems that come with sitting hunched in front of a laptop all day.
But bad posture isn’t only associated with neck, shoulder and back pain. It can also have other negative effects on your health, including shallow breathing, heartburn, constipation, incontinence and headaches.
