Why Does My Posture Problems Get Worse When I Work Out?
Why does posture problems flare up when you work out? Chiropractors in La Cañada Flintridge explain the real cause and how to get lasting relief.
If your posture problems gets noticeably worse when you work out, you're not imagining it — and it's not random. There's a mechanical reason, and once you understand it, the fix becomes obvious.
Posture is habit, not personality. The muscles and joints that hold your head, shoulders, and hips in alignment can be retrained at any age.
Why Working Out Makes Posture Problems Flare Up
When you work out, your body loads the joints and muscles involved in posture problems in a very specific way. If those joints already aren't moving well — restricted at one level, hypermobile at another — the load has nowhere good to go. It gets absorbed by the tissues that are already irritated, and the pain spikes.
