Bad posture is a fact of life and studies find that 80% of people suffer from back pain at some point in their lives. Back pain is one of the most common reasons for missed days at work and one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. Whether you’re slouching looking down at your mobile phone, driving long hours or sitting at a desk all day, these everyday activities can negatively affect your posture. Slouching and having an improper posture is more than just a bad habit. It is detrimental to your quality of life as when your back posture is poor, your entire health suffers as a result. Other than back pain, poor posture can lead to accelerated joint degeneration and increased levels of both physical and mental stress.
