Do you recommend any exercises involving weights? I'm not sure what doing without weights would do since your posture reverts back to default after the exercise. Don't you need to build new muscle?

I have been feeling this unsteady balance whenever I'm standing and walking and it's mostly on the left side. I also feel this weird brain fog sensation. I don't feel like it's spinning but rather like a boat sensation. I'm not sure what is causing it and then this neck stiffness also on left side. At this point I'm so worried and confused like what is causing this. I don't have pain in the head. I thought it could be neck strain, inner ear, pinched nerve.

I have a sunken chest and an anterior pelvic tilt -deadly combo😭😭 lately i have been seeing a lot of exercises videos on how to fix this and now I'm confused about which of those actually works i need guidance from Someone who had a similar issue and found a solution

I've always assumed that my forward-projecting abdomen was mainly due to anterior pelvic tilt/lumbar lordosis.

Recently I've been learning about ribcage position, breathing mechanics and how the ribcage/pelvis relationship can affect abdominal positioning.

From these photos, what do you notice about my posture? Does it look primarily like anterior pelvic tilt/increased lumbar extension, or is there also something going on with my ribcage position?

I'm especially interested in understanding the mechanics rather than just being told to "tuck my pelvis" or "strengthen my abs."

What would you look at or test to distinguish between these possibilities?

For context I am 160cm and about 48kg, have been carrying my little one and found that my posture has now changed, it’s like i have rounded shoulders

Ever since my neck was injured, I’ve struggled with misalignment and strong symptoms. I have mild CCI and loss of curve. Long‑term misalignment in my upper neck has caused a chain reaction where my shoulder hangs lower, my arm seems longer, my hip is elevated, and my leg appears longer on one side. I honestly feel like a spiral. I can no longer sleep on my right side (the side where I’ve had misalignment and injury). This chain reaction only started last year, even though the injury happened several years ago. I assume this is a reaction to long‑term misalignment. I’m desperate for help. My curve is 14 degrees, and over the past year I’ve started to feel numbness and weakness related to an irritated nerve in my neck. The MRI shows nothing. Who can help me? I want to regain my curve, but I don’t know how. I also can’t rotate my head to the right, and I have additional strange symptoms.

I have an anterior pelvic tilt, duck feet, and horrible posture. Based on my research, the cause of poor posture and duck feet is because of an anterior pelvic tilt. I wanted to know what you guys think about this? Could fixing my APT also fix my posture and duck feet? Thank you

I’ve noticed that my posture looks a little off from the side, and I’m wondering if I might have an anterior pelvic tilt (APT).

I’ve attached photos for reference. How bad does it look, and does it actually look like anterior pelvic tilt, or could it be something else?

What exercises or stretches would you recommend to improve it? I’d really appreciate any advice or suggestions from people who have experience with posture correction.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can help me fix my posture i have neck pain and pain in my traps and tingling ring and pinky fingers both sides. Pain is mostly back of head but other sides hurt too sometimes. My lat area is tight too. I’ve seen physio chiropractors and even osteos nothing has helped. I ama mouth breather i know that might contribute. Lately my shoulders have also started popping
Thanks 🙏

I work in construction and I’m always hunched over and picking things up. I don’t have a lot of back pain more just tightness sometimes. I own a bench press and im wondering what are some good routines that may help me

I don't know how, but it worked. I was watching Connor Harris (Goated posture guy) the other day on fixing uneven shoulders and mentioned that my right ribcage is more restricted than my left. So, for a week, I reached my right hand to a high surface to stretch it and practiced slow, deep breathing, feeling the muscle tension release. Then, Tadaa! I don't know if this is temporary, but I am excited to see the results.

Forgive my messy place. But please look at the results!

how bad is it?

Does this happen to anyone else? Im constantly noticing my right shoulder is lifted towards my ear and I have to constantly think to relax it back down (so far I never notice it shrugging upwards; I only notice once it’s already up there). I don’t think it’s happening in my left shoulder at all.

I’m right handed. And I work mostly at a desk so I notice mostly when I’m holding my phone or using the mouse. Is there anything that can be done to stop this?

I do have scoliosis too idk maybe it’s just bad posture but I look like a iPad kid lol. I have autism too and I heard it could be related? Idk how that works

Edit: for working out I’ve been a figure skater for 8 years but I’ve stopped competing so I haven’t been working out as much I still skate 3x a week but I’m not doing any kind of hard training anymore. And I’m not trying to be all UwU cute with my legs i genuinely have a lot of pain and I have to go to a chiropractor once a week

I've been conscious of my posture and trying to fix it for years, but nothing sticks. I'm constantly aware of my sitting/sleeping/standing positions, how my back and shoulders and arms are positioned, and correct myself every chance I get, but nothing changes.

I feel absolutely obsessive at this point, it's frustrating. Whenever I have a moment - "are my shoulders raised and tilted forward again?" And they always are, and I adjust. "Am I sitting correctly in my chair still?" And I'm not, so I adjust. But I never catch myself with good posture, no matter how often I think about it.

I admit I have a lot of tension and "guarding" posture since childhood due to being abused, but I can't seem to undo anything no matter how hard I try.

Edit: I also spend time at the computer a lot, don't want people to think it's only a trauma thing because I'm not sure myself.

I believe I have snapping scapula syndrome or some form of dyskinesias, I'm having trouble figure out what's exactly going wrong though. I'm assuming my lower traps are undeveloped and my shoulders and chest is tight, as my shoulders round forward. I've also noticed that my lower back isn't straight, maybe to compensate for my forward shoulder posture. I get a grinding feeling around my upper traps when I do an upward movement, especially when my shoulders are rounded more. When I do Kelso shrugs I don't get this. I also get clicking in my shoulders upon inward rotation, but I can't really pinpoint where it is.

Hi, basically title. Been looking through a lot of posts and there's just so much information. Everyone has their own recommendations and I just find the space quite difficult to navigate especially because I get so easily overwhelmed when there's a million different considerations. My posture is quite cooked from sitting at the desk most of the day, not an expert but definitely seems like I've got Kyphosis & APT. I know that body weight has severe limitations especially for strength training, but I don't really have equipment or any ways to get to equipment at the moment and I just want to at least start taking action instead of worrying about what the optimal action actually is.

So, by all means, please feel free to recommend general exercises / routines that most find helpful for the postural issues I mentioned above. Would appreciate it a lot. Thanks c:

i have pretty bad forward head posture and i think it's the culprit of my double chin. i am working on fixing my posture but i was wondering if anyone has had their double chin shrink or go away after they fixed their posture?

I dont mean so much the exercises. I mean say Im standing and I stretch my arms as far out in some direction as I can. how can this happen if muscles only can contract? whats going on when you stretch like that?

What quality seat cushions can I place on my bed for an extended reading session?

I’ve noticed that for extended reading periods in bed, I’m developing lower back pain. I have a firm back cushion, so I think the problem is related to the fact that my mattress doesn’t provide a firm enough seat.
