Abstract: Postural stress, in the higher education students, is to maintain for a long time an incorrect body position during study, while participating in courses, etc. Maintaining a long-term postural position in inappropriate conditions can lead to the emergence of poor attitudes. Incorrect attitudes alter the work ability thereby leading to decreased productivity and lowering the quality of the work. The ability to work is the "ability (physical, mental, cerebral, nervous) to perform a maximum quantity of work" (6). Work positions that are maintained for a long while in an incorrect attitude lead to muscles blockage, witch occurs during work. Simultaneously with this block, pains and muscle stiffness in the spinal muscles appear. There will appear headaches backaches, dizziness, osteo-musculoskeletal diseases. Blocking the muscles in the chest will cause a decrease in oxygen supply, which will generate decreased alertness and concentration.
