A member asked:
Is it true that "most of us may well be standing up to 2in shorter than we need to be" due to bad posture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
True for some of us.: 2 inches is rather too much, as generally its about about 1to 1-1/2 inches, but there will be someone who has 2 or more . Posture is easily correctable with help from a pt.
