I need some help with my posture I think it's hunch back or swayback I've been doing excersises and stretches to try and fix it and I'm wondering if it has to do with the fact I'm skinny and don't have a lot of muscle

This is a weird question, but I noticed that my posture is better at work than home. I know that it's much more comfier at home, but I even bought the chair they have at my work to use at home thinking that it'll make me sit better while working at home. However, I'm finding that I slouch and use weird positions regardless. My posture isn't just slight slouching - I curl up in weird positions and only realize when I'm almost falling off the chair that I need to reposition myself.

However, I noticed that my posture is much better at home when I get fully dressed (e.g. answering emails before heading out for work). Does what you wear have anything to do with posture? Maybe extremely comfy home clothes promotes bad posture? I usually just wear underwear at home because I live alone. I'm wondering if I should just wear regular clothes at home (jeans, etc), but it feels weird to be fully dressed at home.

I've had bad posture for over 20 years, attempted to fix it sporadically over the last 5 to no avail.

I will focus on thing only from now on; strengthening my back. Yes I have seen a physio IRL and ultimately this is the conclusion they arrived at.

What investment can I make so I can do this at home consistently? My issues are winged scapulae/APT and targeted exercises YTL/push up plusses etc have been near-useless. I want to give plain-old weight training a shot.

What single best purchase can I make to build back muscles at home?

30F here...Am slightly over weight...Im converned with my neck hump..Does it go away with weight loss?

i have a pretty severe anterior pelvic tilt and stretching isn’t really easy, it’s putting pressure on my back and it feels really uncomfortable.

i saw this hip hook thing and i was thinking maybe it could help me fix my posture faster? i will still stretch daily anyhow.

I just received that diagnosis from the MRI. I haven't had a cervical MRI yet, but the x-ray showed cervical rectification and contractures. I live in constant pain and have not slept well in months due to the pain and discomfort in both my neck and lower back. How bad is this?

(it being more straight, or bent backwards actually relieves the pain, I have a doctor's appointment coming up don't worry.)(unless you have good reason to worry that actually that's bad for me)

the problem I'm facing is that when I sit on my knees, or on my heels, and then I stand back up, I get SUPER dizzy. I don't really have any flexibility problems with *doing* the action, but it's the part where I get up, and all my blood falls down to my feet that I suddenly have the problem. do y'all know any way to fix this?

Serious question. I've tried and failed many times over the years, including with professional help. Seems I am prone to a certain posture and my desk job makes it worse. Wondering if anyone had the same experience and beat it.

Hi everyone!

Like a lot of you, I dealt with some serious back pain for years, starting from my early 20ies. It got to a point when I couldn't play soccer, workout, or even pick up my newborn son.

Randomly, I came across a method called "individualized posture therapy" (little known but clinically proven), and boy, was my posture crooked (my photo before and after below).

Fast forward, I fixed my posture, got out of pain, and dedicated myself to working with others in a similar situation.

Working with people 1:1 is rewarding but expensive, and I was looking for a way to do it better. With recent advances in AI, it has become possible.

That's how Postureletics was created - it's an app that uses computer vision and machine learning to assess your posture and create a 100% personalized corrective exercise program specific to you.

Everybody is different; one exercise can help a person with one type of posture and HURT a person with another. That's why we don't give everyone the same exercises. It's all about specific exercises for a specific person (based on the assessment).

The app is available on the Apple App Store - try it out. The full AI-enabled posture assessment is FREE (if it asks you to sign up - just hit the little "x" on top and go on to the assessment).

Give it a go and let me know what you think!

(no really, I am a pro posture therapist, but I am a noob app designer - any feedback is appreciated.)

It's nothing extreme I don't think, "gentle cervical kyphosis" and "mild dextrosoliosis". What should I do for these?

Hi,

I'm 37 and have had bad posture my whole life, until I realised it 4 years ago. I suffer from constant stiff and painful neck, have a neck hump, forward shoulders and I began exercising daily. I don't slouch anymore and tuck my neck all the time when sitting.

I also began sleeping super flat on my back. But after only 3 month of this regimen, I began having huge stomach issues and basically, I have to fall asleep sitting. In the middle of the night it will be fine and I'll find myself lower, butt with all the pillows I'm using, my neck will né in 1 very bad position.

Fatigue made me stop exercising. I have adhd so keeping at it was hard, but it became impossible now.

I'm still stretching at least 3 times a week though, and I still don't slouch and tuck my neck.

However, with my bad sleep position (I feel my neck is too forward despite trying to asjust pillows, my middle back I'll cave in the pillows, leaving my head forward), my neck hump worsened over the last year.

Do any of you have a trick to keep my neck well aligned during sleep, while staying seated?

Thanks

Obviously breathing correctly is paramount for posture, when I mouth breathe I feel the bottom of my throat slightly tighten, and can clearly feel my diaphragm working, my stomach moves out a bit, then my upper chest towards the end of my breath.

I haven't been able to nasal breathe most of my life, and I am finding it hard to adjust.

When I try to mimic mouth breathing with my nose I find that it feels very different. It doesn't feel like my diaphragm is activating on the same level as when I mouth breathe, and I find that my jaw seems to either move forward or backward while trying to breathe which causes me discomfort after a while.

Any tips or cues? Any idea what it is that I'm doing wrong?

i searched up on google that the lump between my shoulders and my neck is because i have a problem with my head always being down. any way i can help my posture sleeping wise and sitting in bed?

What would be a good routine in order to fix a left AIC pattern? both essential exercises and lifestyle adjustments

Are there some good weightlifting exercises for it? Thanks

I swear half the posts I see on here are people saying "should I see a chiropractor l?" and then the rest of the sub having to come along and let them know it's pseudoscience and griftery. If there was just a blanket rule on not recommending chiro and not asking about it it would help to cut the noise and make more people realise it's not grounded in evidence - and guide them towards actual science-based healthcare without us having to spend so much time and energy on that so we can focus on answering legitimate questions
