Postural dysfunctions occur when poor body alignment is maintained over time, placing excessive stress on the muscles, joints, ligaments, and spine. They are commonly associated with prolonged sitting, desk-based work, frequent use of computers or mobile devices, repetitive movements, or poor lifting techniques. Common postural problems include rounded shoulders, forward head posture, increased spinal curvature, and muscle imbalances, which can lead to neck pain, back pain, shoulder discomfort, headaches, and reduced mobility. If left unaddressed, poor posture can contribute to chronic pain and reduced physical function.
