Stress and Posture
The Postural Response
Stress can impact body posture and alignment by causing muscle stiffness, poor ergonomics, and spinal misalignment. In the U.S., individuals may experience stress-related postural changes.
To maintain good posture, practice stress management techniques such as ergonomic adjustments, posture exercises, and regular movement breaks. Addressing stress supports proper alignment and reduces musculoskeletal strain.
