Posture and Daily Habits: How Small Changes Can Ease Back and Neck Pain in Your 40s

Image
    Your Body Keeps the Score By your 40s, your body starts reminding you of every habit you’ve built—good or bad. Maybe you notice your back aching after long hours at the computer. Or your neck feels tight after scrolling on your phone. You tell yourself it’s just age, but often, it’s posture —the way your body holds itself through every part of your day.

With the right strategies, you can stay strong, energetic, and vibrant well into your 40s, 50s, and beyond. Embrace the Transition First, let's recognize what's happening.
