Addressing associated conditions with posture training
Poor posture can have numerous adverse health effects, from exacerbating existing conditions to causing entirely new ones. For example, poor posture is known to make arthritis symptoms worse, as malalignment of the spine can place excess pressure on the joints. It can also contribute to back and shoulder pain, headaches, and difficulty breathing.
Poor posture can also negatively impact circulation, which can eventually lead to the development of varicose veins. It can also negatively affect energy levels and mood. There’s evidence to suggest that it can even weaken pelvic floor muscles and thus adversely affect sexual function.
The conditions that most commonly require posture training include:
- Arthritis
- Back and shoulder pain
- Poor circulation
- Headaches
