Posture Related Pain
Lots of research that links posture and pain is poor. There is no real evidence to suggest that poor posture will cause long-term problems. Everyone’s posture is slightly different but not everyone is in pain. In a 12-week study published in BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders in 2016, a group of 60 people were given movement sensors that measured the curvature in their spine and the movement in their pelvis as they did five tasks. The researchers found no correlation between their posture and their chance of having lower back pain.
