@bbearanna: #stitch with @lil🦢🩰 no, you don’t have kyphosis, but this poor posture is where it can starts. Kyphosis is much more common than most people realize. While it can have many different causes, one thing that often contributes to a rounded upper back and forward shoulders is the amount of time we spend looking down at our phones, computers, and desks. When we’re constantly in that forward position, the muscles at the front of the chest and shoulders can become tight, while the muscles that help support good posture aren’t being used as effectively. Over time, this can make it harder to comfortably stand with your shoulders back and your spine in a more neutral position. One simple stretch I recommend is what I like to call the “old man walk.” Simply clasp your hands behind your back and gently draw your shoulders down and back. Lift your chest, keep your chin relaxed, and allow your shoulder blades to come together naturally. You don’t need to force the movement, just open through the front of the body and take a few slow breaths. It’s a simple stretch you can do throughout the day, whether you’re working at a desk, studying, or spending a little too much time on your phone. I hope this helps you move a little easier, stand a little taller, and gives your neck and shoulders a break from all the time they spend working for you. ##fypp##kyphosis##RMT##posture
