Finding Balance
Sitting & the Spine
Prolonged sitting can harm the spine by putting excessive pressure on the discs, leading to back pain, poor posture, and even herniated discs. Additionally, sitting for long periods of time can cause the muscles in the back to weaken, leading to a lack of support for the spine.
Text Neck
Text neck is a term used to describe the strain and pain that can occur in the neck and shoulders as a result of looking down at a device such as a smartphone or tablet for extended periods of time. This can lead to poor posture, muscle imbalances, and even long-term spinal damage.
Staying Balanced
Proper skeletal balance is important for maintaining proper posture, preventing injury, and reducing stress on the joints. When the body is in proper alignment, the muscles and joints can work together efficiently, allowing for smooth and pain-free movement.
