Identifying causes and impacts on daily life.
Understanding Postural Problems
Postural problems arise when the body's alignment deviates from its natural state, leading to issues such as slouching, forward head posture, and rounded shoulders. These misalignments can result in discomfort, pain, and long-term health concerns. Factors contributing to poor posture include prolonged sitting, improper ergonomics, and muscle imbalances. Over time, these issues can affect mobility and overall well-being.
