Is your smartphone hurting you?

Sometime in your childhood years you probably heard your mom say, “sit up straight”, “don’t slouch”.  It is as if she could see your future posture and know that something bad was taking place right in front of her.  May be you have noticed the posture of others or even caught a glimpse of yourself, head down staring at the latest Facebook, Instagram or whatever comes next social media. May be you are saying to yourself, “its homework”, “the big office presentation”.  Your posture not only speaks for you as body language it stays with you for a lifetime.

Even the major news networks are running headlines regarding posture related to technology.  Take a moment and see the article CBSNEWS ran this week, but first… stand up straight, take a deep breath, form a mental picture of YOUR posture.  OK, now click on the link and enjoy.

Don’t forget to “sit up straight!”

You’re texting your way to backpain.
