Every day, we eat, we drive, we wash dishes, we use our smart phone, we do our work in front of the computer, we write etc. However, only a few among hundreds will practice our daily tasks with a rather good posture. In fact, we are used to doing things with a really bad posture.

And what are the consequences of repetitively doing these for many years?
You will start to develop forwarded head, rounded shoulders, hunchback, and arching of lower back.
This explains the reason why you started to have stiff neck and shoulders, tight chest, back pain, weak abdominal muscles (which may cause you a big tummy too). Moreover, you will feel tired most of the time and having no mood or motivation in doing lots of things.
Different kinds of posture.
