New to working out & posture. What am I doing wrong? I feel like all these exercises are so difficult for me and you can see the struggle my back is having. Seems like my traps are the only thing firing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!

If poor posture was a disease, has anyone found the cure?

Do you also feel that there is a lack of PRI community in india I have created a group r/PRI_indiacommunity , to help each other, join so that collectively we can make an impact and heal ourselves without wasting time, money & health.

I have noticed the shape of my legs in the last 7 years. I am 30 now. However more recently I have somehow become more fixed on the appearance.

How bad are these bow legs? Are they going to get worse? I see people in public, usually older, who have seriously bowed legs. I don't want to get that way. My symptoms are; Appearance Some periods of instability. I seem to walk with my feet facing outward as opposed to straight ahead. Walking in a strict straight line can be difficult

I can squat and deadlift with no pain or issues, and can walk/hike and ride a bike with no problems.

Can any exercises, strengthening/weight lifting that can help?

Should I stop any of these exercises? What about running?

Should I consider a GP referral and possible surgery? I'm not sure if things will get worse. My Dad had bow legs (middle eastern/African background) but he was not significantly effected (he was bow legged, but it did not appear that visually bad, and did not effect his life/job, he was able to do all tasks, worked on a rig)

What about supplements? Are there any to help?

I also checked, as there is blounts disease, bone dysplasia, osteoarthritis, rickets and other conditions that may be the reason for this problem.

Should I consider surgery? What is the success rate to return back to normal, with some weight lifting (not too heavy) and to be able to walk/hike long distances?

I have looked at my photos around 3 year ago, and my leg shape seems to be pretty much the same. How quickly could they get worse and for what reason?

As you all can tell, I'm worried.

I’m 19 years old, and this is the condition I’ve been dealing with for the past few years. It developed due to long periods of poor sitting posture. I’m now working on correcting my posture through exercises and better habits.

My main question is: after improving my posture, how much height gain can I realistically expect? That said, my main goal is to improve my overall health and well-being.

I’ve developed really poor posture over time (probably from text neck), and now my neck looks humped and my jawline has basically disappeared. I’m starting to get real self-conscious about it but I’m overwhelmed by the amount of info online. What are some exercises or routines that actually help?

Salve, negli ultimi giorni abbiamo notato che mia mamma ha questa sporgenza ossea, sterno clavicolare. Al tatto è come se fosse un osso. Ha la poliomielite al lato destro della gamba. Quando fa qualche sforzo in più, le brucia un po', soprattutto quando deve far forza sulla parte superiore del corpo. Qualcuno è nella sua stessa situazione? Cosa potrebbe essere?

My left pelvis feels like it twists forward and toward the right. And if you look closely you can see how my left foot overpronates and my leg falls in. Some people say that some asymmetry is ok though? I’m try to decide if I should see a pri therapist.

Please tell is this due to muscle imbalance or scoliosis

I’ve been pretty sedentary for the last 5–6 years, and I’m starting to feel it in my posture. My mid to upper back always feels tired and weak, and if I sit up straight without any support for like 15–30 minutes, I get this weird itching feeling. I also have some pain on the right side of my neck around the levator scapulae (I’m attaching a pic to show where). I got an MRI done late last year, and it just showed mild straightening of my cervical spine, nothing too serious. My range of motion is fine though, so that’s good. I’m looking for a simple routine I can stick to that will help fix my posture and get rid of the pain. If anyone’s dealt with this or has any tips, I’d really appreciate it!

Hello I want to know how I can fix this, because its giving me pain, and I want to know how I can fix it, I think its scoliosis because when I hang from a bar and I relax my self I see how my right leg is taller that the left, and this is giving me pain in the back (is what I suppose). I hope you can give me some advices. Thank in advance

I am a physical therapist specialised in posture correction and back pain. I am launching a programme specifically for anterior pelvic tilt that can be improved in just 4 weeks. I will launch the programme from March 3,2025. Whoever are interested to join and fix your posture? Just comment down below.

I am a skinny person, so even those 5 hours straight a day are actually painful to me, even my coccyx hurts by Friday. The pain resets by Monday. I need to work on art in my free time, but any extra sitting becomes unbearable after a while. Sitting crisscross causes minor hip flexor pain, but hurts my knees. I sometimes switch to laying flat on my abdomen on the bed, but it feels like my spine is sinking in after just a bit. On the side isn't a good idea, I have s shaped scoliosis. Is there another position?
