Think of yourself at your desk, using the keyboard and mouse while working at the computer. Try it during the day when you feel your shoulders wandering forward and your spine beginning to curve. We can correct this with exercises for good posture by bringing our shoulders up, back and down.

This posture encourages tightness in the chest and over stretching in the back resulting in a rounded back. When our shoulders are forward, this also brings our chin forward.

Muscles will shorten and become weak.These changes can predispose you to joint injuries in the tight areas due to overuse or repetitive syndromes. When faulty posture is left uncorrected for a prolonged period by poor posture habits, structural changes will occur. This pain can usually be relieved by stretching, taking a walk or lying down for a rest. This is referred to as postural pain syndrome. Poor posture that is not corrected by posture exercises during the day can lead to pain in many areas.
