Neck, Shoulder, or Back Pain? Bad Posture Could Be the Cause

​Most people consider posture in relation to sitting for long periods, often at a desk. Laptops are well known for causing significant postural problems as the viewing angle forces you to look down. While this is one situation where posture is important, other types of jobs and situations also require using the proper posture, such as:

• Truck Drivers: Truck drivers sit for long hours each day and are often bounced and jostled while on the road.
• Delivery Drivers: Aside from sitting for many hours, this job requires a significant amount of lifting and carrying of large and bulky items.
• Construction Workers: Obviously, this is a very physical job.  It is critical to use proper posture to prevent injuries while working, lifting, bending, and standing on the job.
• Retail/Restaurant Workers: Working long hours on your feet can lead to poor posture, slouching, and craning your neck forward.
