Hey Everyone!

After years of having terrible posture I decided to put my coding skills(source of bad posture) to the test and see if I could make a one of a kind solution. I implemented some stretching routines as well as a posture reminder tool based on the classical condition principle. Please check it out and give me some feedback on how I can help more people!

i’m wondering how much of my back pain is related to posture or if there is a bigger problem like a fracture or strain? i’m 19 and a pretty tall for a girl (about 5”11) and i’ve had severe back pain since i was 12. i have sharp pain under my shoulder blades and in my lower back. it’s hard for me to stand for long periods of time but also laying flat on my back causes much more severe pain. i’ve never worked a desk job and i’m pretty active when i’m not in pain. i think it must be related to my sleeping posture but i can’t seem to fall asleep in any position other than my stomach or the fetal position? just wondering if anyone has had the same thing because I’m so tired of living in pain so young :(

I'm trying to have better posture, since I've seen more than a few photos of my side that are beyond disappointing, and whenever I sit up straight, my back begins to hurt and it's fairly uncomfortable. Is this normal? Is it the years of bad posture stretching out?

Hey everyone , I’m not sure if this is the place to post this but I’m worried.

The bone in the back of my neck I’m unsure if it’s ( C2 ) is really sore to touch or when I look up or down . I can’t tell if it feels like fluid is on my bone or if it’s just my bone itself that is sore and feels swollen . I look down at my phone and laptop a lot which I’m trying to improve on . Has anyone else had experience with this particular bone feeling really sore . In this picture it looks like it’s just my bone but it usually does not stick out as much so it must be swollen . What could this be . Have a doctors appointment for a week away and just looking for my mind to be soothed in the meantime as I worry with my health .

Thanks !

After someone gave me some advice on here I've been trying my best and working on different workouts and stretches. Do you see improvement? What else could I do?

Any idea why this is happening? I used to have forward head posture, now I’m in PT for my neck and it’s like all my other muscles are overcompensating? I have no idea why my chin is pulling back like this when I look down but it’s causing pain

I’m young, healthy, and decently fit (can do 20 pushups, run a 10:00 mile, hold a one minute plank). However, my posture is terrible (very overdeveloped upper traps, tech neck, rounded shoulders, I have a desk job) & I do get aches.

Based off of what community members here post, I would like to meet with a professional to evaluate my posture, stance, and breathing to see if there are any underdeveloped or strained muscles or holding patterns I have. I live between LA and SF, so I’d assume there should be some world class professionals that are accessible (I’m willing to get on a long waitlist or save up for an appointment with the right person who has experience evaluating “otherwise young healthy patients” but who also isn’t trying to make up fake problems where there aren’t any).

But I aware I only see “shady” chiropractors ever talk about posture. Is anyone here aware of recommended sports medicine folks, doctors, or physical trainers that do have experience with posture evaluation in California for “young and healthy folks”?

Whenever I try to hold the proper posture, however, my shoulder bones and shoulder blades ache like crazy within 1 hour. What am I doing wrong and how do I ease into it?

What stretches/exercises help this? When I try to practice good posture my shoulders bounce back up. Is this tight traps?

Hello, since roughly 8 weeks I have the problem that I get a sore neck in the C4 to C6 area at least once a day often for hours. Sometimes there's also a slight tingly sensation between the shoulder blades. Nothing radiating into the arms or shoulders. I have full range of motion with no sharp pain, but my neck is cracking and popping constantly when I turn my head. I tried mobilization exercises but they don't really seem to help. I'm wondering if anyone here is experienced enough to point me in a direction what I'm dealing with here. Iirc if it would be a problem with a bulging disc, there should be symptoms radiating? Would an X-ray be sufficient or do I definitely need to get an MRI? I'm claustrophobic as hell and definitely want to avoid that at all costs.

same for my other side to

Might sound like a crazy question but are there any online services like FaceTime PT to help with posture? I injured my neck and ever since then I’m just doing weird shit like sticking my head out and tilting my chin back instead of tilting it down when looking at the floor. My body literally forgot how to move normally 🙁 I’m in PT but it’s just not helping with every day tasks I really need someone to just video chat me for even 20 minutes to watch me so I can retrain normal movement. Maybe that sounds insane I don’t know but I need someone to help me correct this!
