Bad posture can be a big part of the reason your back has been bothering you. The amount of pressure it puts on your spine can cause lingering issues. Do you hunch when you’re at your work desk? Maybe you slouch in your chair. Day after day, the compound effects of this poor posture creates muscle tension and back pain.
What can I do to improve my posture?
While there are stretches that may help alleviate some of the tension, there’s an easier solution to help you not only correct your posture, but also have a lasting effect.
A posture harness or belt can be a quick, affordable fix that not only resurrects your posture, but helps alleviate the pain of sore muscles from all that slouching or other behaviors that cause stress on your spine. How about this one? Do you ever cradle a phone between your shoulder and neck?
