Do you know these daily habits are causing bad postures and the reason for your backache?Are there any of your subconscious everyday habits that are causing back posture in you? Read on to find out and learn what you can do to counter them.
Multi-tasking at your computer desk
Hunching over personal electronics can wreak havoc on your posture. The tendency to slouch forward is made even worse by the popularity of laptops, tablets, and technology that encourages people to look down. Eventually, the muscles in the front of the shoulders become tighter and shorter and the muscles in the back become stretched and weaker. Besides making you look slouchy, this postural habit can lead to upper-and lower back pain and tension headaches.
Slouching during while enjoying your favorite movie marathon.
Most of the time, when you watch TV, you’re slouching or lying in ways that put strain on your shoulders, back, or hips. Slouching may feel good, but it’s not good for you.
Daily chores such as housework, gardening
Did you know that for every inch the head moves forward in posture, its weight on your neck and upper back muscles increases by 10 pounds? When you neglect your posture while lifting heavy loads, you invite chronic back pain.
Start by making changes to our lifestyle. Having a regular yoga practice and incorporating simple stretch at intervals throughout the day. Yoga helps to maintain the natural lumbar curve in your low back that is essential to preventing posture-related back pain. This natural curve works as a shock absorber, helping to distribute weight along the length of your spine. Learn and incorporate these opening, releasing postures every day in your daily life, and allowing yourself to sink into the asanas, and after a week or two, you’ll notice that as you go about your day, you feel more comfortable, alert, and aligned.
