Posture is a misconceived term in today’s world. The typical person looks at posture from an aesthetic perspective. Theoretically, the major junctions of joints align themselves vertically for perfect posture alignment. When the joints are stacked well, the body feels robust and at ease. Anyone who finds it difficult to maintain the posture is bound to experience musculoskeletal imbalance, which may cause discomfort in the body. A proper posture is intricate networking between various systems in our body.
