posture
Every day we see patients who have poor posture – some are embarrassed, some are proud of how bad it has become, some are resigned and some are guilty – must be the ones who had the nuns or yoga instructors scolding them.
Good posture is vitally important and here are just a few reasons:
- 90% of the stimulation and nutrition to your brain is generated by the movement of your spine.
- Poor posture decreases the vital capacity of your lungs.
- Hunching causes decreased nerve flow to your stomach, liver, pancreas and gallbladder.
- Flattening of the curve in your neck decreases endorphin production which causes an increase in pain, discomfort and depression.
- Forward head posture generates headaches, neck pain, ruptured discs and arthritis.
