Introduction to Consequences of Poor Posture
Poor posture can lead to many undesirable outcomes. These outcomes can range from inconvenience to pain to debilitating to life threatening. Here is a partial list of results:
- Back pain.
- Neck pain.
- Shoulder pain.
- Poor self esteem.
- Kyphosis (Dowager's Hump)
- Vertebral compression fractures.
- Rounded shoulders
- Anterior Pelvic Tilt
This section discusses several consequences I often see.
Please note that only one or two (or none) of these may be applicable to you. I present each of these conditions so that you can learn about them in more detail.
You do not have to do the exercises I suggest in the videos and blog articles. For the time being, I encourage you to, instead, review the articles to learn about the conditions, make any necessary modifications if they apply and move onto the Posture Self Assessment section and then the prescribed exercises.
