• The modern working routines and lifestyle are
  very unhealthy for human health, especially for
  the body posture. Sitting down on a chair for the
  whole day, working on a laptop or desktop, can
  breed various health issues related to spine,
  neck and shoulders muscles, and lower back pain.
  With the outbreak of pandemic COVID, everyone is
  working from home digitally. This means that the
  number of people using computers for work have
  increased in the past two years. Consequently,
  the people suffering from bad posture have also
  surged.
• A bad posture must be corrected using therapy or
  massage. Leaving a bad posture untreated for a
  long time can highly dangerous for overall health
  and well-being of people. This article discusses
  the dangers of leaving bad posture untreated

Crooked Spine

• A prolonged bad posture can result in permanent
  bending of spine. Other than looking bad, a
  slouched posture is dangerous for muscles and
  joints because it can be asserting unnecessary
  stress to the body tissues connected to it,
  triggering pain in the neck as well. If you leave
  it unadjusted, this can cause various other
  issues as well.

Pain and Soreness

• A prolonged bad posture can lead to slouchy
  posture or attaining a hunch on the back. This
  can cause the muscles to work harder than
  necessary. As a slouch is unnatural in nature, it
  can exert more pressure to the spine, resulting
  in lower back pain and soreness.

5
Poor Digestion

• A poor posture for a long period of time can
  cause the digestive organs to compress. Also,
  when one keeps on sitting in a place for the long
  time, and does not walk or work out, that can put
  more work on the digestive system. Resultantly,
  the metabolism is affected.

6
Poor Circulation of Blood

• One of the examples of poor posture includes
  crossing legs while sitting. When people cross
  their legs while sitting, it stretches veins and
  results in spider/varicose veins. As a result of
  varicose veins, the pressure of fluids passing
  through our bodies increases. An increased
  pressure in blood circulation accentuates the
  possibility of developing cardiovascular disease.

7
Poor Breathing

• One of the side-effects of bad posture is that
  the ribcage and sternum press against the
  diaphragm and abdominal muscles. Due to this
  compression, the lungs cannot function properly
  as their capacity is reduced. Resultantly,
  breathing problems such as shortened breath is
  experienced.

8
Fatigue and Negative Mood

• As a prolonged bad posture puts an extra stress
  and pressure on muscles and joints, this can
  result in fatigue and feeling of tiredness. If
  left untreated a bad postures consequences can
  lead to a constant feeling of exhaustion, low
  mood and lethargy.
