🔈 POOR POSTURE MIGHT BE THE CAUSE OF EXHAUSTION, PAIN AND INDIGESTION
This is all important because chronic poor posture can lead to low energy. Muscle fibres become shorter and contracted. The body automatically uses energy to maintain the contraction in the shortened fibres. At times this can lead to chronic fatigue, headaches, unexplained aches and pains throughout the body and occasionally digestive problems.
Long term rounded shoulders create compression through the lungs and could lead to habitual shallow breathing. This restricts oxygen distribution in the body, and can also leave us vulnerable to infections as we’re not doing deep breathing that can cleanse the lungs.
The knock-on effect of compression through the body can generate a slow and sluggish digestive system and increasing fatigue. While the tight, short muscles burn up energy, the weak, long muscles don’t ‘fire’ properly. These weak muscles must re-establish both their strength and nervous system responses to regain their functionality.
