There are so many myths about posture and pain existing together but most of the time, it is untrue. While it is easy to draw a straight line between slouching at a desk and the discomfort in our backs, science tells us a different story.

The factors that influence pain are:

• There can be existing genetic dispositions that might cause such pain 
• Lifestyle choices shape the way your pain affects your body it can be unhealthy consumption of food too!
• What may cause pain in you, might not cause pain in another person- it also differs from individual to individual.

Such posture pain issues can actually be relieved by working in ergonomic workspaces, taking regular breaks from work, doing yoga or pilates, maintaining a healthy sleeping posture, and practising strengthening exercises. If the pain increases to an unbearable amount, you can go for targeted exercises, use the help of stress management solutions or the best of everything- go for physical therapy for instant relief. 

Since everyone is built in a different way, you need a customised solution when it comes to relieving your pain problems. Not everyone goes through the same thing. Moreover, choosing tailor-made plans can help you understand your mechanisms much better.
