The Impact of Posture on the Spine

Improving posture is crucial to keeping your brain alive and alert. Do you see yourself standing up tall, strong, fluid, and flexible? Are you also collapsing and hunched over? Overall, poor posture does not happen overnight.

As your posture weakens, your structure is less able to handle external forces. As a result, your body becomes less efficient, losing energy for internal processes. Posture is often an early indicator. Your head bends more forward, your shoulders cave in, and your upper back arches as your body becomes flexed in a forward position. Over time, poor posture can impact your breathing, sleeping and mood.

Movement, posture, and stress are all connected. Poor posture decreases spinal movement, resulting in our brain not properly perceiving information well or at all. Our awareness of this information and ability to adapt to it becomes limited. When we cannot adapt properly, we begin to cave forward, and bulkier muscles become dominant.
