In today’s world of remote work, long commutes, and screen-heavy lifestyles, posture has never been more important. Yet, many people continue to overlook how the way they sit, stand, or sleep could be fueling their chronic pain. At Free Motion Physical Therapy, we’ve seen firsthand how poor posture can become the hidden culprit behind everything from neck stiffness to back pain and joint discomfort. The good news is that with awareness, proper guidance, and hands-on care, posture-related pain can be reversed and your quality of life can drastically improve.
