When the spine develops excessive curves, you will experience back and neck pain and poor posture. Let’s look at three common points where an aging or injured spine causes problems.
Bent neck
The lowest bone of the spine is the first rib. When a broken down body increases strain on the first rib it can no longer support the weight of the head. That’s how we get the characteristic bent over neck associated with aging.
Rounded shoulders
Rounded shoulders are also known as kyphosis. When an excessive curve of the spine occurs in the thoracic spine, it may be called a “hunchback.” If you are told to sit straight and hold good posture to remedy rounded shoulders, you are getting the wrong advice. You will learn in the Brand New Body System that good posture does not require muscular effort.
Swayback
A normal spine has a gentle curve in the lower back. When the pelvis tilts forward more than it should, the body compensates by increasing the curve in the lower back. It makes your belly protrude and causes back and neck pain.
Any one of these conditions can cause back pain. Put together, they make anyone look old and infirm. In our next article, we will find the fastest, most efficient method of restoring good health and good posture.
You will learn that good posture does not require you to work hard and expend muscular effort. It’s time to get healthier than you ever imagined with the Brand New Body System by Jesse.
