Currently, 65% of school-aged children present with some type of back pain due to postural distortion patterns.
One study showed that children as young as 10 years old are demonstrating visible signs of spinal degeneration (spinal arthritis) on xray.
Another study of 439 thirteen year olds; one-third of the children who participated in the study presented with lower back disc herniation (protrusion) on MRI.
The only reason a spine will degenerate or become arthritic, and the only reason spinal discs begin to herniate is due to pre-existing posture distortion patterns.
Sitting with postural collapse or weak posture is causing postural decline in children.
Consider the Trousler study of 1994; 41.6% of school-aged kids have lower back pain while sitting in class. Thirty percent within 1 hour of sitting and 70% after sitting for an hour or more.
So it is no surprise that kids with poor posture develop into adults with even worse posture and sickly health conditions.
