Try this steps and physical therapy techniques to get less pain and more energy – Do you feel sometimes slow, tired, sore, painful or have little energy? It could be that you have some fundamental physical problems. You could be hurting your body over time if you sit for long hours in your car, at work, or watching TV at home.

The poor posture and lack of movement are the regular causes of headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, chronic low back pain, and pain in the hips/ knees or legs. Slumped posture changes the shape of your spine, closes the shoulder joints, tightens the tissue around the hips and generated a host of other problems.
