Slouching is a posture often assigned to teenagers and disaffected youth.

Comfortable postures are safe and sitting is not dangerous.

Posture has come to be associated with aspects

of a person’s value, dignity, respectability, and morality.

Posture naturally varies from person to person -

and can even vary depending on race, sex, and even mood.

Slouching may have a negative effect on memory

and mood.

There’s no relationship between slouching and spinal pain.

Our spines are designed to allow movements as

diverse as Olympic weightlifting to limbo dancing.

There’s a single, ideal or good posture.

There’s clear evidence that slouching while

sitting at your desk or while using your phone causes damage to the spine.
