Beth Linker认为,现代社会普遍认为不良姿势会导致健康问题,但这一观点缺乏充分的科学依据。她指出,18世纪的欧洲人认为直立坐姿是粗俗的,而现代对姿势的看法则源于科学的介入,但这种科学基础薄弱,并与当时的社会文化背景密切相关。 Bird Pinkerton梳理了现代对良好姿势推崇的历史渊源,指出其起源于达尔文的进化论,并与当时的优生学运动和种族主义思想密切相关。美国姿势联盟等组织在推广良好姿势的过程中,将不良姿势与种族退化联系起来,并利用了优生学思想。良好姿势的观念与结核病预防运动相结合,被赋予了更广泛的健康意义,但这种联系缺乏科学依据。良好姿势的检查被纳入各种体检中,成为一种社会规范,并通过各种方式被灌输给大众。尽管良好姿势的观念深入人心,但其健康益处的科学证据并不充分,许多研究对不良姿势与健康问题之间的联系提出了质疑。
