Static Posture

Holding one static posture for most waking hours is described as outside normal human movement patterns. Prolonged sitting skews proprioceptive input by rounding the lumbar spine, pushing the head forward, and creating sustained posterior-chain tension. Static posture demands in professions such as hairdressing, music, and graphic design can create the same signal problem as desk sitting. Static posture is presented as unnatural and tolerable only briefly, not chronically.
