Why on earth do I look so different depending on what side you look at me from?? Specifically in the butt/belly pooch region? It doesn’t matter if I lose weight, gain weight, build strength, it always looks like this! I can’t even tell which side is “correct”. I’m baffled.

Any exercise suggestions to help release and strengthen? I used to sit poorly in a chair in my youth and now hitting the gym 4 days a week I would like to work on it.

Any help would be appreciated

My shoulder blades stick out and I do weight lifting focusing on traps too for a year but still it doesn't change

Anytime I wear a t shirt, if I don’t tuck it into my pants, it climbs up and back so the neck opening (can’t figure out the technical term) of my shirt is up against my neck in the front and down my upper back a bit on the back. If I wear it under a long sleeve shirt it looks especially weird. Does anyone experience something similar? Is there a way to fix it via posture exercises or building up shoulder/back muscles?

Just call me of Norte 💃

I spend approximately 8 hours at my computer desk every day. No matter how hard I try to sit up straight, after about an hour, my lower back starts to feel tired. Because of this discomfort, I end up shifting my lower back into a slouched position (similar to what's shown in this picture). While this gives my lower back some relief, it's causing issues with my jaw.

My question is: What can I do to keep my lower back straight while sitting, without it getting tired so quickly?

I have come to realize (through multiple patients asking me if I’m pregnant when I’m only size 12) that I have horrible posture and stand in swayback posturing very frequently and also can have some kyphosis. The internet has a lot to say about ways to remedy this. Problem is the “lots of core exercises” route doesn’t work with me because I’m in a mental health crisis, meaning I’m very low energy low motivation and not good at sticking to large exercise routines when I’ve done physical therapy in the past. I’m afraid a lower back brace would just further weaken my core muscles I also have thoracic scoliosis that makes my right shoulder roll forward. Only way I’ll stick to something treatment-wise is if it doesn’t take too much time out of every day. What’s the to most effective things I can do to correct this posturing? My queen is a lot of standing. A not of sitting. Some walking and bending.

I am in college only 20 not active in the gym or in any sports at all just need input since I am trying to better my life now.

I have been tracking my shoe wear pattern since I was 15. I have only recently ascertained that my right foot points outwards about 15-30 degrees when I walk, which causes such asymmetry.

Not sure if this can be solved with posture correction and weight rebalancing. I need a podiatrist for sure.

hey guys any idea how to fix the uneven nipples?

do u reckon it’s the hips causing it or maybe something else also plays a role?

any help feedback or advice is appreciated

thanks

Hello. a while back I had woken up with a frozen neck on my left side. for some reason its always that fucking side, happens every like 3ish months usually around a time when im getting bad sleep. I stupidly decided I was gonna try and workout through the pain and ended up injuring myself. The pain instantly came shooting pain to my neck and squeezing sensation in my chest that would let up then come back a few seconds later, i genuinely thought i was having a heart attack so i went to the ER, they did xrays and blood and ekg and all was normal.

The problem is tho, that now almost constantly i feel like my chest is being squeezed, and i haven't been able to bring my left ear to my left shoulder without pain and my shoulder compensating

I understand if thats a lot and you arent qualified to answer that, so if you can only answer one thing can you answer this:

When i take two fingers and i place them directly on my vertabrae of my neck(c3-c6) and i kind of pin it there with my fingers (light but decent pressure) and then rotate my head left to right, i can feel popping and snapping almost like a tendon is going over it, is this normal? or should i see a doctor

For reference - I have scoliosis and a twisted ribcage on my left hand side, as well as uneven hips.

Since about August, I've had on/off pain at the front of neck, just to the left of my windpipe. I've been to the doctor and he can't feel anything (and neither can I). There's no lump or redness or visual sign that anything is wrong. He checked all my lymph nodes and they're normal. No signs of infection etc.

It's not constant and mainly I feel it first thing in the morning or if I've had a busy day at work (dog walker). I sleep on my right side but walk dogs holding leads in the left hand - it aches a bit when I turn my head to the right and when I press on the muscle.

Anyone have the same and can recommend any stretches or something? I'm 99% sure it's muscular as it's worse after there's been stress on the area and it clears up over the weekends.

I have had a T4 compression fracture for ages. I slowly worked up over years to strengthen the muscles around the back and neck and the other side of the displacement has effect. I also work remotely in a chain so slouching can be a thing. I find the even with the crazy increased back strength I still tend to slouch when getting comfy. Such a brace would actually be helpful when just in the thinking and trouble shooting mode. So easy to get back into the slouch position. Really would like a good recommendation for just a casual use as just searching between reddit and amazon is just. I exercise and ruck. Back is getting solid. The mind set to readjust in thought is weak. I cant keep that posture constantly. Would appreciate advice.

Edit: edit the flow of words are what ever. Terrible actually but actually hope someone can comprehend what I am saying and give advice. I think in the day I could use some brace but keep on my back training as well to solidify it. Derp and thank you.

I Just want to know what's wrong here whenever I flex my back there always an imbalance between my shoulders which is very annoying to me I hope I Can Find Any Help, Tips anything to fix this

Having this pain in this area for two weeks now. Sometimes it radiates under my jaw or behind my ear. Hot compress is not working. HELP

Both sides of my body like along my ribs are tight every day especially when I sit a lot. I stretch but what are some strengthening exercises or what muscle should I focus on to help mitigate this? Thanks!

After being tired of shoulder and neck pain finally went to a PT for a evaluation. Been having crazy neck and shoulder pain for the past 4 weeks. It's always kind of been there but was typically a 2/10 compared to the current 6-8/10.

During the evaluation she found a hard knot sitting next to my C4 most likely aggravating the nerves. So I get to do my first ever dry needling to knock the knot loose. Which I'm kind of freaked out about cause ya know a needle going into a knot just sounds.. horrible.

Other things that was said is I guess I have a pretty damn flexible neck coupled with most likely poor posture and how I carry stress.

They believe it's all muscle related, at least from all the test they had me go through. If I don't progress any in 2-3 weeks then will need Xray.
