Common signs you might have bad posture

Posture is simply the position you hold your body in against gravity – whether standing, sitting, or lying down. When alignment between your spine, muscles and joints is off, your body compensates – and that can lead to discomfort and other changes over time.

Some of the most common visible and felt indicators include:

Slouched posture: Rounded shoulders and a dropped chest, often from hunching over devices.

Stooped posture: Excessive forward curve in the upper back, sometimes linked to stiffness or age-related changes.

Uneven shoulders or hips: One side higher than the other, which can affect balance and gait.
