Bad posture isn't just about appearance. Over time, it can change how different structures in your spine handle everyday movement and load.
In this reel, we cover three reasons why posture matters:
• Increased pressure on your spinal discs
Spending long periods in poor positions can place extra stress on your spinal discs. Over time, this may contribute to disc degeneration or persistent back pain in some people.
• Muscle imbalances
When certain muscles stay tight while others become weaker, your body starts to compensate. These imbalances can affect how you move and may increase the risk of discomfort or injury.
• More stress on your facet joints
The small joints at the back of your spine help guide movement. Poor alignment over long periods can increase the load through these joints, which may lead to stiffness and irritation.
The good news? Better posture is trainable. These exercises help improve movement, muscle control, and spinal support.
If neck or back discomfort has become part of your daily routine, an assessment can help identify what's contributing and guide the right treatment plan for you.
