To fix your posture, you must understand the “Upper Crossed Syndrome” (UCS) and “Lower Crossed Syndrome” (LCS). These are not diseases; they are muscular imbalances.
Overcoming poor posture is not about achieving a single perfect position—it is about building a dynamic, sustainable relationship with your body. As one posture expert explains, "This is because your nervous system adapts to whatever position you spend most time in". The good news is that this same adaptability works in your favor.
