What are the causes of incorrect posture?

As mentioned previously, incorrect posture stems from the disproportionate bone and muscle development. The child grows but the musculature is underdeveloped.

There are psychological causes as well since inner tension results in muscle spasms. Many children are under a great deal of pressure in school. Most of them are not ready to perform under such pressure and consequently are having trouble getting the results that are expected of them. Because of this under-performance, the child's self-esteem and inner strength gradually weakens, and the muscles around the spine will be less likely to maintain correct posture. The child will not want to stand up straight since he or she is suffering from a lack of success. As often happens, the lack of self-esteem may even produce disrespect for the parents and siblings.

Those who practise FITFIVE on the other hand, will become proud, practical youngsters who stand tall with straight backs and strong moral character.
