Posture is about far more than looking confident and poised. Sitting and standing in the right position make sure our bodies function properly.

Poor posture is the posture that results from certain muscles tightening up or shortening while others lengthen and become weak which often occurs as a result of one’s daily activities.

There are different factors which can impact on posture and they include occupational activities and bio-mechanical factors such as force and repetition. Risk factors for poor posture also include psycho-social factors such as job stress and strain.
