Topic: Why do people have bad posture?

Habit is one answer.  Furniture that encourage bad posture is another.  I'm interested in knowing your thoughts.

Thanks!

Re: Why do people have bad posture?

My opinion is that it has a lot to do with your feet, hence my own thread (Good singers - do you have flat, normal, or arched feet?) Surveying you all on yours. Please vist and tell.

Re: Why do people have bad posture?

Correcting bad posture from Kyphosis and Protracted Shoulder Girdle involves strengthening the muscles that extend the spine and stretching the chest muscles that are pulling the shoulders forward. Start by trying the Doorway Subscapularis Stretch. Place your front leg just through the frame a interior door with your back leg several feet behind it. Next, place your elbow on the wall next to the door, slightly below the level your shoulder is at. Then, bend over/forward at the hip and bend your knees slightly to gently stretch your chest muscles.
