“Posture affects us in everything we do. Basically, if we’re not sleeping, we have to use our posture. When we think about exercising, sitting at the chair, driving in the car, we’re using it whether it’s good or bad, but it’s unconsciously controlled. And that’s the trick with posture, trying to fix it. It’s not something we think about.”
