Did you know your posture affects your breathing?
As we age, spinal changes—especially thoracic kyphosis (forward-curved upper spine)—can reduce chest space and limit lung expansion.
📊 Data Highlights:
- 📉 2x Risk: Older adults with kyphosis are twice as likely to experience shortness of breath.
(Source: Geriatrics Society Study) - ✅ 2024 RCT Results: Posture + breathing exercises reduced kyphosis angle and improved chest expansion.
🧘♂️ Wellness Tip:
Simple Daily Practice:
Try 10 minutes of posture alignment and diaphragmatic breathing to support lung function and spinal health.
