Dowager’s Hump
Dowager’s hump which many people refer to as the hunchback is a bump that can be seen on the base of the neck. It is usually accommodated with a forward head posture. The more forward the head sits, the more stress is placed on the base of the neck which can change the spinal curvatures. This overtime causes the back muscles to weaken causing other muscles to be put under constant strain due to overuse.
Standing How You Feel
The way we stand, sit, and move through our day both reflects and impacts on how we feel. There are 6 basic categories of emotion that are recognised in facial expressions across a wide range of cultures.

When you feel pain it is often due to a Neuromusculoskeletal cause, which is just a fancy way of saying your nerves, muscles or bones, or more commonly all three, are responsible. This pain can be from a sudden injury i.e. acute, an old injury i.e. chronic, a repetitive injury i.e. overuse, or sometimes a variation in your anatomy i.e. congenital.

With a large number of individuals remotely working from home due to Covid-19 restrictions, a consequence of this is having difficulty separating work life from personal life, especially when both take place in the same area. We unintentionally may spend more hours sitting at a desk which over time can lead to an array of adverse health risks such as increased risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity, cancer, metabolic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, musculoskeletal diseases such as osteoporosis and poor posture
