Have you noticed that almost ALL modern humans have a bent over fin?

It is called bad posture. This includes rounded shoulders, a forward head, and a compressed spine.

If you have not noticed how most people have this abnormal posture, don’t feel bad. It is so prevalent that it is easy to miss because it is so common. Orcas in captivity probably don’t notice how they all have bent over fins because they almost always have bent over fins.

We look the same, so this must be how we are, right? What is abnormal becomes common. Soon we all forget what normal is supposed to be.

The biggest culprit to why humans have forward head posture and rounded shoulders is because we spend so many hours using technology and reading books in the same position…..and this position is usually a bad one.

Here is a video Avie (my daughter) and I created to inspire people to use different postures when they use their technology and read books. I hope you find it helpful and put it to use.
