Bad posture often stems from a sedentary lifestyle and poor ergonomic habits,” says Cody Mooney, pliability’s director of performance. “Prolonged hours spent hunched over desks or screens, coupled with weakened core muscles and tight, shortened muscles in the chest, shoulders and neck, can contribute to slouching and misalignment.
Additionally, stress and emotional tension can manifest physically, leading to tense muscles and a stooped stance. Stretching plays a crucial role in correcting and preventing bad posture, by increasing flexibility and promoting muscular balance.”
