If you’ve ever caught yourself telling a teenager to “stand up straight” or “stop slouching,” you’re not alone. I’ve done it plenty of times, sometimes because I was genuinely concerned, and other times because I could see a little of my own teenage slouch in them. Back then, I had no clue how much that…
Let’s be real for a second—slouching just kind of… happens. Whether you’re working at a desk, scrolling on your phone for hours, or even binge-watching your favorite show on the couch (guilty!), poor posture can creep in without warning. I’ve personally tried everything from lumbar pillows to nagging myself with reminders, but nothing quite made…
If you’ve ever found yourself rubbing your neck or adjusting your chair in the middle of a migraine attack, you’re not alone. I used to dismiss my slouched posture as “just being tired,” until I started tracking my headaches and noticed something odd—my migraines always flared up on the days I spent hunched over my…
Ever found yourself shifting endlessly in your seat, trying to find that sweet spot that doesn’t make your tailbone feel like it’s taking a beating? Yeah, me too.

I used to believe spine health came down to occasional stretching or maybe that weekly yoga class. Turns out, the real game-changer? It’s the…
Back pain is one of those health issues that practically everyone has an opinion on—your neighbor, your aunt, even your Uber driver. I’ve personally lived through years of lower back issues, and trust me, I’ve heard it all. From “just stretch more” to “you should sleep on the floor,” I started to realize that most…
If you’re a runner and you’ve been sidelined by back pain, you’re definitely not alone. I’ve been through it myself. One day I was pushing through a great 10K training session, the next I could barely stand up straight. Running, ironically, keeps us strong—but when back pain creeps in, it feels like everything starts falling…
Back pain was never something I paid attention to—until it became impossible to ignore. Sitting long hours for work, slouching on the couch at night, scrolling endlessly on my phone—it added up.
