Much like eating right, exercising and getting a good night’s sleep, having great posture can have a positive impact on your life.Many injuries can develop from poor posture. If not corrected, the long term effects of not straightening up your back can negatively affect the body, altering your body structure. An individual who suffers from this often experiences fatigue, achy muscles, strain and pain in lower back and chronic headaches.
