Look at the face of someone who slouches all day.
Tight jaw.
Heavy eyelids.
Lines pulling down from the corners of the mouth.
The face follows the spine.
When the head leans forward, the skin stretches.
The muscles meant to lift begin to sag.
Over time, the face starts to carry effort — not age, but effort.
Now the neck.
The more the head moves forward, the harder the neck works.
An extra inch of forward tilt can add 10 to 20 kilos of strain.
The skin folds.
The shoulders rise.
Tension builds and becomes chronic.
This is where headaches begin.
Not in the brain, but in the mechanics of holding yourself wrong all day.
Now the chest.
When it collapses, breath becomes shallow.
This triggers stress even when nothing is wrong.
The ribcage stays locked.
The heart feels closed — not emotionally, but physically.
No oxygen, no calm.
No space, no strength.
Then the belly.
If you sit folded, the belly has no room to move.
The diaphragm cannot drop.
The core muscles disconnect.
Even a flat stomach begins to bulge outward —
not from fat, but from pressure and weakness.
This is not about holding yourself rigid.
It’s about letting the body work as it was built to.
Lift the chest just enough for the ribs to expand.
Let the head float above the spine — not in front of it.
Soften the jaw.
Lengthen the back of the neck.
Let the stomach draw in, not by force, but by structure.
These changes are small.
But they compound.
Less tension in the face.
Less pulling in the neck.
More breath in the chest.
More tone in the belly.
