How Poor Posture Affects Your Body
Many people think of posture as simply how they stand or sit, but it goes far beyond that. Good posture affects everything from breathing and digestion to mental clarity and mood. At Healing Touch, we emphasize posture correction as a key component of overall health and wellness.
Slouching or misalignment can create serious long-term health issues, including:
🔹 Chronic Pain – Poor posture puts stress on muscles, joints, and ligaments, leading to neck, back, and shoulder pain.
🔹 Headaches & Migraines – Incorrect posture can strain the neck and reduce blood flow to the brain.
🔹 Reduced Lung Capacity – A hunched position compresses the lungs, making it harder to breathe deeply.
🔹 Digestive Issues – Slouching after meals can slow digestion and contribute to acid reflux.
🔹 Poor Circulation – Sitting incorrectly for long periods can affect blood flow and lead to swelling or varicose veins.
🔹 Increased Stress & Fatigue – Bad posture can lead to muscle tension, draining energy and impacting mood.
