Poor Posture Damages Your Spine Over Time | Here's Why

Posture affects every part of your spine — from muscles and ligaments to joints and discs. In this educational video, *Yama Zafer, D.C., an American-educated chiropractor with nearly three decades of experience in Kuala Lumpur*, explains how daily sitting, standing and movement habits influence long-term spinal alignment and function.
