Around 80% of Americans will experience back pain at some point in their lives, with poor posture being a significant contributing factor. Up to 50% of working Americans admit to having back pain symptoms each year, often due to poor ergonomics and posture.

Poor posture can lead to chronic back pain, neck pain, and even contribute to conditions like scoliosis and kyphosis. Approximately 33% of working-age adults suffer from musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which can be exacerbated by poor posture.

Good posture can improve your mood and increase confidence. Studies have shown that sitting up straight can lead to a more positive mindset and better self-esteem. Proper posture enhances lung capacity and improves circulation, making it easier to breathe and reducing the risk of cardiovascular issues. Maintaining good posture can help prevent degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis and degenerative disc disease by reducing unnecessary stress on the joints and spine.
