Body Mechanics

Prolonged sitting can significantly impact your posture, spinal alignment, and overall musculoskeletal health. When you remain seated for extended periods, it often leads to slouched shoulders, forward head positioning, and a curved lower back. This poor posture can create tension in muscles, strain ligaments, and potentially cause chronic pain over time. Additionally, prolonged sitting can contribute to misalignment of the spine, which may result in discomfort and increased risk of injuries. To mitigate these effects, it's essential to incorporate regular movement and ergonomic adjustments into your daily routine.
