An unsupported, unbalanced spine can lead to a large number of serious health issues aside from tension and pain. When you slouch for a large portion of the day, your muscles are working harder in attempt to stabilize and protect your spine. The extra work and weight put on your muscles can cause tight and sore muscles from your neck all the way down to your lower back. There are many variations of poor posture, ranging from poor head and neck positioning, all the way down to your lower back.
Good posture isn’t simply sitting up straight in your chair, but also maintaining proper alignment when sitting, standing and even lying down. Any form of slouching or slumping creates misalignment of one’s spine. Misalignment of the spine caused by poor posture can lead to a variety of health complications, including joint stress, curvature to the spine, and pain from your neck down to your lower back. Not only do shoulder posture braces improve poor posture, but they also serve as a reminder to make individuals more aware of maintaining good posture throughout the day.

Forward head posture is when the ears are positioned forward of the shoulders, rather than sitting directly over the shoulders. Forward head posture is one of the most common causes of neck, head and shoulder tension and pain, leading to many other health complications.
Did you know?

This back brace is ideal for treating and managing pain from osteoporosis, compression fractures, spinal stenosis, kyphosis, mechanical back pain and more.
Forward head posture has been found to be linked to tension-related headaches, decreased respiratory muscle strength, eye and ear abnormalities, and more.
