Posture is the position your body is in and its effect on the muscle groups that are involved in the physical activity.
Awkward postures include repeated or prolonged reaching, twisting, bending, kneeling, squatting, working overhead with your hands or arms, or holding fixed positions.
Contact Stress:
Pressing the body hard on sharp edges can result in placing too much pressure on nerves, tendons, and blood vessels.
