Group adopts health posture

 

A NEW campaign has been launched to help Lothians residents improve their posture.

The British Chiropractic Association recently revealed more than a third of Scots at some point complained of back pain, and have launched the "straighten up" campaign as a result of those findings.

Poor posture is being largely blamed for the rising trend and the association is reminding residents a slouch can affect health and job prospects.

A spokesman said: "Sixty two per cent of Scots bosses cited bad posture as off-putting in a job interview situation. Bad posture has a lot to answer for."
