Free Postural Improvement Workshop | February 7

Are you noticing that your upper back is starting to hunch over, your head is hanging more forward, and your shoulders are starting to round?
Weightlifting and a daily “Desk-Jockey” posture can contribute to the imbalance of your chest and back muscles, setting you up to look hunched over. Eventually you may get too tight to fix it, which can also lead to headaches, shoulder and neck pain.
