Posture - The Habit of Our Time

A quiet shift is happening — and it’s affecting all ages.

Hyperkyphosis, once linked to ageing is now showing up in teenagers and young adults.

Hours spent hunched over phones and screens are changing posture, movement, and long-term health. This isn’t just about how we look — it’s about how we breathe, move, and feel.

Chronic pain, nerve irritation, reduced lung capacity, and spinal strain are becoming increasingly common — driven by everyday habits we barely notice.

This isn’t cosmetic. It’s preventable.

And awareness is the first step to helping a generation stop bending forward through life.

Simple Steps to Improve Posture

• Move every 30–60 mins

• Raise screens to eye level

• Strengthen upper back, core & glutes

• Stretch chest, shoulders & hips

• Breathe deep into the ribs

• Sit tall but relaxed

• Build posture into regular movement

• Be consistent, not perfect

Small habits. Big difference
