types of good posture - #19038

Kashvi

I am struggling with my posture and honestly, I feel like it’s a major issue. For the past few months, I've had this nagging back pain, especially after sitting at my desk for long hours. I thought it was just from my old chair, but even when I switched to a fancy ergonomic one, nothing really seemed to change. A friend mentioned that there are types of good posture that I should be aware of, but I guess I never really paid attention to what that means, you know? Like, I see people sitting up straight or standing tall and I’m like, how do they do that? I’ve tried to mimic it, but it feels really unnatural. I often find myself slouching or leaning to one side, and sometimes my shoulders even feel tight. Is there a specific types of good posture that could help with my back pain or any exercises to correct it? I wonder if bad posture affects more than just the back too? It’s kind of frustrating not knowing what to do or how to improve it. Should I focus more on sitting or standing postures, or do they both matter just as much? I need some advice here!
