Why Do We Care?

As the day drags on, people tend to slouch.

While slouching may feel like a comfortable way to relax

and save energy, it can lead to back and neck pain. If

you maintain good posture, you're likely to feel more

alert throughout the day, because the muscles will

have less strain placed on them, resulting in lower

energy usage. Learning to have better posture is a

practice that may take some time, but you'll look and

feel better---and your body will be more relaxed.
