Question Why do I naturally rest like in the first picture and what can I do to fix it?

Thumbnail gallery
Upvotes

Female, 22, 51kg.

I lost 45 kg two years ago and since then I’ve been working on staying in shape and building some muscle (I started from most of my muscle mass lost - I could feel seats through my ass bones and everything just hurt all the time).

I still notice that I tilt my back like this, my lower back hurts and my upper back / shoulders are always turned inwards and tense. I never sit with my chest open and if I try to, it feels like a stretch. I think I also don’t sit correctly on chair because my lower back takes a slouchy, “C” shape.

What can I do - are there specific workouts?

Question Side sleep posture

Thumbnail gallery
Upvotes

I am a side sleeper, and I always wake up with numb fingers, usually on my lower arm. I have relatively wide shoulders, and have noticed that my back curves when I’m on my side. I’ve experimented with pillows under my torso to no avail. Curious if anyone has any ideas of what I can do.

Note that I’ve tried softer mattresses with no luck. Back sleeping is also not an option for me.

Question I did some exercises yesterday for anterior pelvic tilt! I woke up with a sort of pain under the stomach, but I’m not feeling it in the stomach area.

This is the video, I used. I’m not exactly sure how to explain the pain, I’m having. I can’t sit roughly, slouch nor do any exercises like #8 in the video. I’m afraid, I may have hurt myself in some way and it may not be cured/fixed soon…

Dealing with sharp pain under and around my right shoulder blade 3+ years.

As the title suggests . This pain began 3 years ago out of the blue. I’ve been going to the gym for 3 months now and have noticed an alarming difference (to me) in the size/ proportion of my pecs, and my back . I’ve been to PT regarding my back and been told I have mild dextroscoliosis. And did a few moments for 2 months but nothing really helped. Thoughts/ comments are appreciated

Help me figure out what’s causing asymmetry & solutions welcome

Post image
Upvotes

First off I’d be curious to know if people notice the asymmetry at first glance or only once I point it out. It’s an insecurity of mine & causes slight discomfort (leg/hip/back pain), but not sure if it’s as obvious as it feels. Wondering if anyone knows if this can be fixed with better posture? Idk what the actual cause is: shoulder height, scoliosis, pevic tilt, leg length, hip muscles/height, etc.

Leaning on right leg when walking

Upvotes

Whenever I walk, I always find myself walking mostly with my right leg which causes a bit of pain and fatigue on my right hip and abdomen likely because my organs and muscles are being crushed due to the weight imbalance. I'm trying to correct this by walking on a treadmill and leaning on my left leg but I have to really make an effort to keep my torso leaning on my left so I don't subconsciously lean on the right. I also work out unilaterally because in addition to my posture problem, I also have muscle imbalance. My left arm, or rather the entire left upper body is more mascular than my right side but opposite for my leg. Can y'all offer any tips to remedy my posture and "reset" my posture when walking?

Question Bad Posture?

Thumbnail gallery
Upvotes

Hi guys, female teen here. This is kinda confusing but I feel like my shoulder/neck/upper back area feels thick? And I kinda feel if you draw a line on the upper “plane” of mh shoulders, it kind of goes inward/forward. However, when I try to not do that, I just feel like im shrugging my shoulders and it looks even weirder. Do I just have extra fat or is it a posture issue? I do spend a lot of time sitting. Thank you!

I’ve been setting at a desk very poorly for a long time and now that I’ve gotten a good job my posture is just terrible standing up. Pain and stiffness up my right shoulder, shoulder blade, and upper back.

How do I fix this? I’ve started core/hip/shoulder/back exercises, is there anything I should be doing or should I see a doctor?

Question What are some ways that actually helped fix your rounded shoulders/kyphosis?

Upvotes

Hi all!

I have rounded shoulders that makes my back look bigger and I have no idea how to fix it. (I put kyphosis too because someone said on a different post that it looks like I have it but im not totally sure I have it!)

I’ve tried to look at different videos but every single one tells me different things and I have no idea where to go or what to do.

I saw this one video where you put your spine on a rolled towel and lay there for 5 minutes each day.

A different videos said to lay on your stomach and raise your arms.

I have no idea what to do and want to see what others say helped them.

Also, if there are any ways to help this while sitting or driving please let me know. I’m still in school and sit for 7 hours each day and I know I could be doing something to help my posture.

Thank you so much!
