The Power of Posture in the Prevention of Pain! | Susan Guyer | TEDxSpringfield

A good posture has powerful positive effects in your body. Our daily routine may take us to adopt bad postures due to excess of working hours or just lack of self-observance. Furniture may certainly affect us in a bad way. When it comes to work, ergonomic office furniture is basic to preserve your health and improve your performance. In NYC Manhattan Office Design is a great place to find the best ergonomic brands, like HON Furniture.

Thanks for the education. Correct posture is more important in the maintenance of health than given credit by most health providers.

Solid information

It would have been nice if the speaker had covered more than just the causes of poor posture. I was hoping to hear more about a solution other than to simply stand and sit up straight.
