Sometimes, it is difficult to resist the allure of comfort. Who doesn't want to sink their heads into a giant fluffy pillow after a long day? And how do you remember to sit up straight when there are seven hours of your favourite murder mystery soap left to watch? The mind has so much to focus on that the spine is easily forgotten. And as long as there is no muscle pain, it should be fine, right?

In this episode, we discover the importance and significance of good posture. Starting from the spine and its natural curvature and then moving onto the impact of spinal issues on various parts of your body other than the back, Dr Vishal Peshattiwar, Head of the Spine Surgery Department at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Mumbai, explains everything you need to know about spinal health. As we age, the spine naturally develops issues, and this episode is also a vital guide for emerging spinal treatments.

Tune in to discover if poor posture is the reason why you are feeling excessively bloated, what is the real cause of a stiff shoulder and how cement and screws saved a 95-year-old's ability to walk this year.
