Your Spine Feels Your Stress 😣🧠➡️🦴
Remote work is convenient — but your spine might be paying for it. Stress shows up in your posture, but how can you recognize it?
When you’re stressed:
- Shoulders tense
- Neck tightens
- Breathing gets shallow
- Upper back rounds
That “deadline hunch” isn’t random — it’s your nervous system in action.
💻 Desk Posture + Stress = More Strain
Leaning toward your screen, sitting for hours, and clenching your jaw adds extra pressure to your neck and lower back. Over time, tension compresses the spine and leads to headaches, stiffness, and fatigue.
✅ Quick Reset for Remote Workers
• Relax your jaw + drop your shoulders hourly
• Raise your screen to eye level
• Take 5 slow belly breaths
Your posture isn’t just ergonomic — it’s neurological.
Less stress = happier spine.
