Why is good posture so important? Because in addition to looking good, it is also the key to a strong back and healthy blood circulation.

Even if you don’t suffer from any severe spinal curvature, your spine is under extreme pressure every day. Usually, we spend the day sitting in a chair, so it is necessary to relax the back.
