Overview

Posture is an important part of
preventing problems ranging
from back pain to fatigue. When
the back is straight, the spine is
supported and stabilized, but
as you slouch or practice other
methods of poor posture, your
spine no longer has the support it
needs to stay balanced, leading to
many health problems.
