What Is Posture Pain?
Pain From Bad Posture!

This is aimed at people with poor posture caused by long periods sitting at their desktop computer screens, laptop, tablets and mobile phones, contributing to the other conditions we cover:

Do Most People Have Bad Posture?
There is no one optimal posture, and no one optimal solution to bad posture. In a lot of cases, bad posture does not cause pain on it’s own, because everyone’s posture is unique. Differences in posture are a fact of life.
Our Posture can often be influenced by our moods or even our beliefs. Emotions, thoughts and body image perception can influence posture – particularly in young people! Some postures are a protective strategy and may reflect concerns about body shyness. Understanding these mechanisms can be useful, so sometimes an emotional wellbeing and/or holistic strategy can work wonders on posture!
