Bet You Didn’t Know . . .
“As smartphone and tablet use increases, so does posture breakdown. Sitting is a bent posture literally folding the torso over the pelvis. Texting locks the hands together, causing shoulders to roll inward. This combination means chronically tight back, neck and chest muscles. Plus, as we get older, gravity combines with muscle imbalances to make people feel and look older than they really are,” says Dr. Steven Weiniger, BodyZone founder and posture expert.PostureMonth.org

Statistically Speaking . . .
Posture affects how well a person lives. With 65 million people in the U.S. alone enduring back pain every year, posture related back problems are the third leading reason for all doctors visits. Lower back pain is the most common disability for people under age 45, causing lost productivity, inability to participate in normal activities, and diminished enjoyment of life. Young or old, most people don’t realize poor posture is a contributor to health problems, and modern technology has only increased its occurrence.
