The saying "you look like you have the world on your shoulders" is so true. When we're troubled, worried, depressed or lacking in motivation we tend to hunch forward. Sedentary lifestyles and the fact that many people spend 8+ hours a day chained to their PC's, leads me to believe that kyphosis caused by bad posture, will soon be endemic and start to affect people at a younger and younger age.
I found this interesting article on MassageMag.com which says that posture also has an affect on thoughts - it says "body posture can affect not only what others think about us, but also how we think about ourselves".
Learn more here.
This ties nicely into the holistic concept that the body affects the mind and vice-versa. If the problem originates from bad posture there are many ways to reverse the problem: yoga, Alexander Technique, Pilates, Rolfing and massage to name but a few.

Thanks for the excellent information! I am a big believer that massage helps with not only relaxation and aches and pains, but also with posture. I try to get at least one massage per month and I think it helps tremendously. Great blog!

Great information. Health is the foremost priority in life. A massage does wonders to the skin muscles and bones if done in a proper manner.
I've always found good posture makes you look taller and slimmer!! Like they say look good feel good!!
As a massage therapist I can tell you that regluar massages truly help the body (especially the back and spine). It's really becoming more of a necessity than a luxury. One of my favorite types of massage is Thai massage. It's one of the most ancient forms of massage and relaxation. :)
Great info based post. like your post. keep sharing.
