Many do not realize this, but tense muscles are a significant contributing factor to poor posture, which can lead to back pain and other body aches. Regularly stretching the back, chest, and shoulders helps to relax and lengthen tense muscles. In turn, this takes away the desire to slouch and improves spinal alignment. In the end, it puts less stress on your muscles if you sit up straight. Besides the lessened pain and stress from the hunched, tensed muscles in poor posture, sitting up straight communicates confidence and strength.
