Posture isn’t as big a deal as the internet makes it out to be.
Search “back pain” on YouTube or social media and half the advice is about posture. It sounds logical—but it misses the point.
Yes, some positions can be uncomfortable. But pain isn’t proof your posture is “bad” or your spine is broken. It’s your body asking for movement.
The body isn’t designed to stay still. It’s built to move—carry, bend, twist, walk, and change positions. Pain is often just a cue to shift, not to sit ramrod straight.
Easy fix:
If you sit for work, set a timer for 15 minutes. When it goes off, stand up and move for 20 seconds, then get back to it.
Simple. Free. Effective.
