Brief Summary

Alterations in posture are frequently seen as a risk factor for the development of spine pain. Postural awareness is essential for sustaining healthy postural habits in daily life. The first of the contribution to literature of our study is that the Postural Habits and Awareness Scale, which is a new questionnaire that provides easy inquiry about postural habits and awareness, is a low-cost method and has not been used in the literature before, was used to confirm the relationships between spine pain and functionality and scale parameters in accordance with the literature. Another contribution is that it is underlined that even among doctors, who are the direct managers of health, low postural awareness and bad postural habits that can lead to spinal problems are quite common.
