15. What does sitting do?? 1. It turns off most of the abdominal muscles. 2. It over works the back muscles (when posture is controlled otherwise it just stresses the spine). 3. It over stretches the spinal ligaments. 4. It stresses the back portion of the spinal discs. 5. It shortens the very popular Psoas muscle. 6. It shortens the hamstring muscles. 7. It shortens the calf muscles. 8. It reduces blood circulation by restricting the vessels in the groin area. 9. It slows down lymph flow by restricting lymph nodes and vessels in the groin area. 10. It stresses the neck by making it more difficult to keep our neck in neutral.

21. The following are excerpts from this scholarly paper : "Despite considerable evidence that posture affects physiology and function, the significant influence of posture on health is not addressed by most physicians." "Observations of the striking influence of postural mechanics on function and symptomatology have led to our hypothesis that posture affects and moderates every physiologic function from breathing to hormonal production. Spinal pain, headache, mood, blood pressure, pulse, and lung capacity are among the functions most easily influenced by posture." "The most significant influences of posture are upon respiration, oxygenation, and sympathetic function. Ultimately, it appears that homeostasis and autonomic regulation are intimately connected with posture." "For many years physiologists have shown that the position of the head on the neck is vital because it governs all postural reflexes. If the head is misaligned, other parts of the body move in and out of line to maintain balance and thus energy is expended to counteract the effects of gravity." "At the Shealy Institute, clinicians have consistently observed striking postural abnormalities in virtually every patient with back pain, headache, or depression."
