Posture and your Health. Is there a connection?

Posture: We’ve all heard our parents and grandparents say “Sit up straight Dear.” Is there anything to it other than what we look like? Is it all aesthetics?

Well, according to some research out of the Journal of Physical Therapy Science, it can have HUGE effects on our HEALTH.

Here’s the conclusion of their research.

The forward head posture causes expansion of the upper thorax and contraction of the lower thorax, and these morphological changes cause decreased respiratory function.

Does your posture need improving? Is your posture getting you down? Let me know.
