Adult tummy time, originally a practice for infants to improve neck strength, is now being adopted by adults for postural correction. As social media, particularly TikTok, popularizes this practice, individuals assume positions similar to infants, claiming benefits such as improved posture and reduced neck and back pain. However, experts, including Prof Leon Straker, emphasize that mainstream beliefs about posture may not align with research findings, which show no significant correlation between slumped posture and pain, suggesting a more nuanced understanding of posture's role in health.
Not content with letting infants have all the fun, adults have now co-opted the practice (tummy time) as a means of postural correction.
Researchers say there is little convincing evidence that slumped posture increases your risk of neck and back pain.
