If you spend any time at all using a computer, especially if you prefer to sit somewhere comfy like a sofa or bed, you may well find that your back ends up slumping into a curve.
"It's very common to slouch while working on a laptop," says Roxy Morgan, Pilates instructor at Complete Pilates. "This changes your posture, and your chest can become tighter while the muscles in your neck can stiffen up too. This lengthens and potentially weakens the muscles in the back. Because you are not moving your shoulders regularly they tend to drift into that forward posture which then will naturally round your mid back and send your head forwards."
