Twenty first century life has created the 21st century posture. We use our bodies differently than our grandparents did. We sit far more than a human body was designed to.
Muscles come in sets, and every muscle has a partner muscle for balance. When we sit, we only use one muscle in a set. So, when we sit for much of our day, we are overusing some muscles and under-using others.
Posture exercises are designed to stretch the over-used muscles, and stengthen the neglected muscles.
