Poor posture can cause many strange pains: it can be recognized at home

Many people assume that good posture simply means standing or sitting up straight. However, kinesiotherapist Gerda Markevičiūtė explains that the concept is more nuanced. True correct posture involves a person's capacity to move freely and change body positions without experiencing pain.

Identifying incorrect posture can be challenging, but certain signs can indicate underlying issues. One of the earliest indicators is shoulder asymmetry, where one shoulder appears higher or lower than the other. This imbalance can signal that the body's alignment is compromised, potentially leading to discomfort and more significant health problems over time.

Correct posture means a person's ability to move, perform various movements, and change body position without pain.

Markevičiūtė notes that posture-related ailments are typically acquired, meaning they develop over time due to lifestyle habits, rather than being present from birth. This suggests that proactive measures and conscious effort can play a significant role in correcting and maintaining good posture.
