I sit like a complete idiot when I'm at the computer. I'm like...sideways, one leg over one of the arm rests, back against the other armrest, etc. :shocked:

Posture affects whether ur back or neck or whatever hurts.

However, if you're older than 16, then it will NOT affect your growth. I had bad posture as a kid and they took an x-ray of me, and my spine is crooked ><. However, its only slightly crooked, and so they told me I don't ever need to worry about it again because I've been done growing for a while, and so forget that I ever had that x-ray taken.

Yea, had to go see orthopedics for that.

Posture is good for appearance and for preventing straining muscles and what not, but it has no affect on the shape of your body after a certain point (16). You could walk around hunched for all I care, but your back will not get any more screwed up than it already is. YOu might be in pain afterwards, but your spiine does not change shape anymore.

Pretty interesting, because my doctor told me how her trainer at the gym told her that it appeared she was "crooked" and that htey would have to work out a certain side, but she just laughed and explained to the trainer that you can't fix anything anymore with posture.
