In the era of sedentary living, where we spend our time computers and mobile devices, posture is becoming an exciting area of study. Folding the body in a chair, craning the neck to look at a screen, or having the shoulders rolled forward all day could contribute to negative thoughts and emotions, poor mobility, headaches, joint pain, and could even prevent your organs from functioning optimally.
Ideally, posture should be such that you’re standing completely straight when relaxed. If you were to draw a line, it would move from the ears, through the shoulders, hips, and knees, down through your ankles. Instead, growing numbers of people—and at a much younger age—have shoulders and necks rolled forward and hips pushed back.
