How stress slowly reshapes your posture
When your system stays in “go-mode,” muscles tighten to protect you.

Forward head.
Rounded mid-back.
Braced low back.
Those small shifts add extra load to joints and soft tissue—until pain, stiffness, and fatigue show up.
Stress doesn’t just affect how you feel.
It changes how your body moves.
