These days, we often find it very hard to maintain good posture, all thanks to the long days sitting in the office chair and the plenty of hours we spend on our cell phones. And, the thing is, you’re prone to experiencing serious aches in your neck, shoulders, and back when you get home later in the day after you’ve spent hours tapping your phone and sending memes to your friends or sitting at a desk most of the day.

According to a postural alignment specialist, you can physically and psychologically hurt yourself in strange ways when you keep slouching or bending your spine. Bad posture can cause osteoarthritis, injuries, degenerative joints and discs, and pain because it makes your muscles too tight, weak, or imbalanced. However, it doesn’t get so bad because you can always get your body back to its natural position by using posture correctors.
