Sitting Disease: How Desk Posture Is Harming Your Health

Poor desk posture from prolonged sitting—known as “sitting disease”—can lead to TMJ issues, mouth breathing, obstructive sleep apnea, and reduced speech clarity. At BreatheWorks, our speech-language pathologists utilize myofunctional therapy and posture-aware speech therapy to address symptoms such as sleep disturbances, shortness of breath, and fatigue. Searching for a TMJ clinic near me or speech therapy near me? We address the postural roots of dysfunction for lasting results.
