design for mobility, but an unstable one nevertheless, making

| Feature Article - Preventing Back Problems Through Proper
Posture - Sue Sarko |
Over
95% of adults exhibit poor posture practices through forward head
carrying and rounded shoulders. Sooner or later, most are likely
to develop physical problems as a result. Postural misalignment
is a soft-tissue/ muscle problem, not a bone problem, as is commonly
thought. Muscles dictate where bones go and also have the ability
to hold the bones in place. So when the spine is out of alignment,
muscles must work harder to keep the body functioning, which can
in turn, cause overuse, strain, stiffness and pain. Whether back
pain problems are a direct result of poor posture or not, (often
times they are) back pain sufferers can almost always benefit from
polishing up their postural habits. Proper
posture is also a terrific way to prevent back problems from occurring
in the first place. click

with the average person moving 40-60 times during the night, blissful
sleep is merely a dream. Restless sleep, snoring, sleep disorders
and differing nighttime habits can all add up to trouble between
the sheets. Are we suggesting that couples should split up at night?
