Tall Order

Pursuing a better posture, once among the buzziest of movement goals, has fallen down the list of priorities of late - at precisely the time when you need it most. But with a little guidance, you can stand tall once again.

That standing desks and lumbar-support chairs have largely been gathering dust in empty offices since the “work from home if you can” edict was first delivered some 18 months ago goes some way towards explaining the emergence of the term “pandemic posture”. A rounded upper back, slumped shoulders and a neck that juts towards whatever screen you find in front of you are signs that you’re suffering – but your appearance isn’t all that’s at stake.
