Home Back Training: 5 Exercises to Improve Rounded Shoulders and Hunchback, Restore Posture and Youthfulness
In most cases, poor posture is caused by bad habits. Currently, due to the popularity of electronic products, which leads to the habit of looking down, and due to the nature of prolonged desk work, we maintain a state of extended arms and shoulders forward, which, over time, causes the chest muscles to become tense and the back muscles to become elongated, resulting in poor posture such as protruding chest and hunchback with shoulder inward.
Initially, we may not pay attention to it, but as time goes by, problems such as waist and back pain, and stiff neck will gradually appear.
