He is Hunched Over? How Come?

Our spine is initially curved in such a way as to evenly distribute the load on the bone and muscle systems. This is the natural position of the body that should be maintained from the first days of life. Over time, the spine can be subject to functional disorders. They are associated with changes in the static stereotype of a person, when an abnormal version of posture is as if “remembered” by the body.

Slouching occurs when a kid sits for a long time. The fact is that a hunched body position when working at a table is more organic. This is necessary for proper load distribution and maintaining the body in an upright position. The problem is that the body "remembers" it as correct, so the kid begins to slouch.

What Does Correct Posture Look Like?

To understand whether your kid has correct posture, if doubts still crept in, pay attention to the following points:

• Clavicles. They should be at the same level horizontally.
• Shoulder blades and shoulders. They should be symmetrically located relative to the axis of spine.
• The kid keeps their stomach pulled in, and their legs are the same length.

If at least one of these factors is violated, then it is necessary to closely deal with the kid's posture before it is too late. After all, the incorrect position of the spine affects both the development of the muscular system and the growth of bones.
