Posture Awareness
Our habits at work, when we exercise and at play shape our body. Especially as we spend more time hunched over tablets and phones texting and surfing, it’s smart to start being aware of the health impact of our habits.
Studies show our posture can have a dramatic impact on health, so see how you stack up with a posture assessment. Then, strengthen how you stand, sit and live.
