If poor medical and mental health are not enough to worry about
for future generations there is another physical health problem
looming for teens and children; a problem that many adults who
have sat behind a computer for hours are already facing today.
The cause is mostly posture induced. Bad posture from hunching
or leaning forward at the computer can have severe consequences,
taking its toll on the thoracic and cervical spine areas of the
body. What repeated failure of inline posture creates in the
upper back is called a kyphosis. A kyphosis gives the appearance
of a hump in the upper back region and a forward neck deviation
which may move the chin forward past the chest and with age this
problem will most often have more severe consequences for ones
physical health. Many people have a kyphosis problem today but
do not realize that they do. Often the diagnosis goes
unrecognized and untreated. The problem can be reversed when
attention gives focus to the situation and the proper
rehabilitation or exercises
