HEALTH Importance OF POSTURE DO YOU CRINGE AT YOUR CHILD’S POSTURE? BY DR. BRAD MURRAY 10 GREY-BRUCE KIDS • WINTER 2021/22
Most of us, as parents, have at one time told our children to sit up straight and don’t slouch. Most of us likely do so without knowing why. With the increase in use of smartphones, video games, tablets, and home-schooling due to COVID, it may seem like your kids are looking at a screen the majority of their day. In fact, one study found that children and adolescents spend an average of five to seven hours a day with their head flexed forward. Poor posture, including only 15 degrees of forward bending, as with looking down at a phone, has been shown to triple the stress of your head on your neck. This can lead to forward head posture, and associated neck pain, headaches, neck and upper back stiffness, joint dysfunction, shoulder and trap pain, and numbness in the arms. This is often referred to as ‘text neck’ or ‘tech neck.’ Chronic forward head position may lead to a number of other issues as well. These may include the head position that stays forward, decreased in neck curvature (decreased lordosis), increase in the mid-back curvature (increased kyphosis), misalignment of spinal joints, increased rate of wear on spinal joints, sore and strained muscles, muscle imbalance, early spinal disc degeneration, permanent changes in the shape of the spine, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, and the possibility of more difficulty breathing and digesting food.
