Office workers are the most susceptible to back problems and spine diseases because of the nature of their jobs, they sit a lot and have little walking and full exercise
Hunchback occurs when using a computer, sitting at work, or driving for too long. You have to raise your arm and lower your face to do your work. In addition, sitting leaning against a chair or lying on your back on the bed also makes the back muscles less used, so they develop slower than the front muscles. In the long run, these habits will cause an imbalance of the two-sided muscles, the body tends to shrink towards the chest and the back also curves.
