If individuals suffer from the following medical issues, it may be due to incorrect posture, and it is something that may be improved, at any age: back, neck and/or joint pain; decreased mobility; balance issues; rounded forward shoulders or rounded upper back; forward flexed head; excessive sway back; lateral and rotational spine curves (scoliosis).

 

The elderly are especially at risk for falls, and poor posture may be the culprit. Young people are at risk for postural issues due to bad habits and hunching over electronic devices. Poor posture can easily make someone appear up to 10+ years older, and up to 10+ pounds heavier. 

 

Physical Therapy and yoga (even chair yoga) can tremendously help posture and decrease pain issues. Many consumers may not know that due to a new mandate, as of July 15, 2015, Physical Therapy is covered by insurance for postural issues and pain, with no doctor's referral or prescription required for most insurances.
