Pretty much what the title says.

    Biggest thing I find, and I’m a massage therapist so 90% of what I talk about it posture, is find the little things that throw you out of whack.

    Computer chairs are demons that clench your hips and back, fuck your abs, push on your elbows and shove your shoulders into your ears while you slouch forward and ruin your neck.

    Standing desks are only as great as you are willing to move. Standing there, especially in bad shoes on hard floors, is almost as bad as sitting.

    How you sleep effects your posture in the day. Make sure you’ve got a good pillow and your spine is aligned at night.

    Final thoughts, STRETCH. STRETCHY STRETCH. STRETCH IT. STRETCH IT REAL GOOD. Nothing is going to make it harder to break out of that bad posture than tight, inflexible muscle holding you in place. Pec minor and your hip flexors are common problem areas people should check on.

      I get frequent headaches due to posture and tension. Do you have any stretches you’d recommend?
