A lot of people have poor posture. We have a more sedentary lifestyle and more people work with computers all day. Poor posture is more than cosmetic. It can have health consequences.

Here are some causes of poor posture:

• Bad habits.
• Being Overweight.
• Weakness in the midsection.
• Muscle imbalance or spasm.
• Pain in areas of the body that prevent proper posture.
• Lack of exercise.
• Degenerative conditions preventing correct posture.
• Bad furniture.

The complications of poor posture include back pain, spinal dysfunction, joint degeneration, rounded shoulders and a potbelly.
