Maintaining proper posture is not only aesthetically pleasing, but is also essential for short- and long-term health, primarily of the back. In the context of working from home, where long hours in front of the computer can affect our posture, it is essential to incorporate simple exercises to avoid problems such as humpback. Here we present three key exercises that can be performed during daily activities to improve static posture.
Good body posture not only contributes to a more pleasant physical appearance, but is also crucial to preventing pain, injuries and illnesses, especially in the back. Taking into account the different types of postures, both dynamic (while we move) and static (when we are stationary), is essential to address postural problems.
