While slouching at the computer does indeed take away from one's ability to present herself with confidence and poise, an even more compelling reason to address this issue has emerged. That issue, surprisingly, is one of health.

That's because the pressure and tension placed on our muscles and joints while we are sitting at a computer and typing have a dramatic cumulative effect. From carpal tunnel to chronic neck and shoulder pain, the care with which you position and hold yourself at the computer has long ceased to be an issue of appearance.
