<p>Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) related to improper lifting behavior and poor posture are increasingly prevalent among young adults, particularly due to sedentary lifestyles and inadequate ergonomic awareness. The age group of 18&ndash;35 years represents a critical phase during which faulty movement patterns and postural adaptations can lead to long-term musculoskeletal dysfunction. This review paper synthesises existing literature on lifting biomechanics, posture-related disorders, and corrective interventions aimed at preventing musculoskeletal health issues in young adults. Evidence from biomechanical and epidemiological studies indicates that improper lifting techniques, such as excessive trunk flexion and inadequate knee involvement, significantly increase spinal loading and injury risk. Additionally, prolonged static postures associated with modern occupational and academic environments contribute to postural deformities that further exacerbate lifting-related stress. The review highlights the effectiveness of corrective exercise programs focusing on core stabilisation, flexibility, and proprioceptive training in improving postural alignment and reducing musculoskeletal pain. Educational and behavioural interventions promoting ergonomic awareness are also shown to play a crucial role in sustaining safe lifting practices. Overall, the findings emphasise the importance of early, structured corrective and educational strategies to enhance musculoskeletal health and prevent injury during the most productive years of adulthood.</p>
