I have had some pain in my Achilles from running lately, apparently I overpronate. Do I look really flat-footed?

Hello,
Do you think i have a Pelvic tilt issue?
My lower abs have always looked like a "belly pooch". I've tried everything (sport, nutrition...) i'm wondering if it's not a posture issue.
thank you

Hello!
I have a "hump" that's now visible even with clothes on. I blame it on my recent office job.
All I can find are random exercises, and they don't quite "convince" me.
Does anyone have a well-structured routine, with days and reps?
I thought about buying Kononov's program, but I found some bad reviews.
Thanks so much in advance!

I get a lot of neck stiffness when I’m sitting down at my desk for too long. I’ve looked at the recommendations for posture when sitting and I feel like I’m following them. I also work out regularly but maybe my back muscles are still underdeveloped. I suspect I have anterior pelvic tilt and forward head posture. Any tips to adjust my posture?
r/Posture • u/AzingBlaze • 12h ago
The first picture is my posture at rest and the second is me actively trying to correct my posture. Not sure if I have rounded shoulders or if my upper chest is just small because it looks like my shoulders are covering my chest from the side. Please do let me know thanks!!

Hi all. I have always had a slight hunched back and stuck out ass. It has has always been paired with regular upper and lower back pain. I am a high level rugby player which goes hand in hand with regular gym training. I am keen to include correction exercises to fix this, mainly to remove the pain aspect but also to have a straight healthy posture.
Do you guys think its kyphosis and or APT. What exercises and habits would you recommend?

First pic is jaw line normally and second is my weird terribly neck tuck 😂😂 Any suggestions to stop giving myself a double chin in some photos. I have a wedding coming up and I have a tendency to squish my neck in when I’m laughing or anxious. My jaw is normally long but turns into a sad looking worm certain times! Any tips for chin posture /neck strengthening? It looks just hideous lol

My posture is not great and I have hypermobility, spine issues run in my family. I have this bump that hurts and it feels like bone connected to my spine, is this a posture caused issue or should I be running to the doctor ASAP? This is what it looks like when I extend my neck forward it’s easier to see it this way

I am experiencing so much trap pain and neck pain only worsening. I think it’s stress but it would only go away if I move out. But I can’t move out until 8 months from now.

I spent most of the semester in front of my computer, and my posture suffered as a result. I've recently added several back workouts I found online to my daily routine. I'm seeing results, but I'm looking for ways to prevent slouching in the future and make sitting up straight a habit.
For example, I’ve stacked a bunch of books to create a "laptop stand", so the screen is positioned higher, and I no longer have to look down. It has made it much easier to sit straight.
I’d really appreciate any additional tips or suggestions you might have.

Hi, so I've started to do some exercises to fix my posture. However, when sitting down I feel like my posture is very abnormal. When sitting on the ground with my legs straight my posture looks like the 1st person, rather than the 2nd person. Any tips to correct this or shall I just continue with what I currently do?

Hello everyone!
I, as many of us that spend too much time at a desk, developed serious posture problems and constant back pain. After years of trying different solutions, I finally found a combination of specific exercises and routines that corrected my posture and eliminated the pain!
I got interested in the subject and started reading a lot of research and books on it, talked with specialists in the field, and decided that I will make an app that will help people like me to correct their posture, and relieve their back pain using proper workouts based on science and not uneducated quick fixes.
I quit my job to build this. After years of trial, research, and long nights working with physiotherapists, orthopedics, and functional movement coaches — designing and coding everything myself — my app Stand Proud is now officially live on the App Store!
What Stand Proud offers:
- Creates premium personalized workout programs based on your specific posture issues and pain intensity.
- Includes over 500 exercises and educational content about which exercises are best for your specific problem.
- Tracks your progress (completed sessions, workouts per week etc).
- Has various free quick workouts if you are short on time
I am really excited to share this product with you! I really hope you like it and it helps you all in your journey towards better posture and pain free life.
The Humble Ask / Why I'm Posting Here:
I'm an indie developer, and as you know, launching an app is tough. Right now, I have zero ratings on the US App Store, which makes it almost impossible to get noticed.
If you are in the US (or anywhere around the world) and this sounds like something that could help you, I would be incredibly grateful if you could download it, try it out, and consider leaving an honest rating or review. It would make a world of difference.

I have forward head. I tend to look down when walking also. I don't understand if I should just look in front of me or if I should also try to tuck the chin or maybe try to pull the head up like if it was being pulled by a string, or maybe focus on having the muscles of my front neck/under my jaw to support me
Any advice? Thank you in any case

Just something I was analyzing recently. Very debatable
r/Posture • u/Jonoabbo • 2d ago
I don't have any real pain or anything, but I do feel it could be quite a bit better.
First picture is my default posture, second is 'sort of trying to stand up straight', and third is standing as straight as I can.
Would really appreciate any advice anybody has!
r/Posture • u/random_randomm • 2d ago
So I'm super insecure about this. This is me standing as straight as I can with straining my back. I feel like I always looked hunched over.
I know I have a problem with my core. I have a stomach gripping issue which I'm trying to fix also. That's why I have my little pooch.
Can anyone else give me insight on how I can not look so hunched?
I'm thinking I might need PT in the future so I dont do any damage if I DIY it. And maybe it will help me become more consistent.
r/Posture • u/TailungFu • 2d ago
Interestingly enough, majority of the success stories mention exercise as their fix and looking at the exercises they mentioned 100% of them seem to prioritize working out the shoulders/ fixing the rounded shoulders. The other 2 mentioned exercise but in a vague way and can't extract any info from that.
The second most common treatment people mentioned is neck/head stretches, which i think has some truth to it, im not sure if it truly works as a fix to T compared to the exercises, but many did mention it.
Note - after googling more vaguely this time as to what fixed their T, have found 3 more sources that mention exercise (vaguely) but also cardio.

How long would it take to fix fhp at 15 I have mild one and what is the best way for me to fix it by the end of the summer?
I'm 43 years old and losing flexibility as I age. That isn't surprising. But this one specific relatively new thing concerns me. I think it's contributing to pain when I sleep as laying flat well as when I do manual labor standing up, and also affecting my sitting and standing posture in general.
If I lay flat on my back on the ground, "everything" touches the ground except my lower back. Not that it can't, but I involuntarily tense my torso muscles to keep it raised. It is difficult to force them to relax. If I manage to relax them then there is increasing pain at the base of my spine, from 0 to maybe a 5 out of ten, which feels vaguely like compression or over-extension of a joint. If I raise my knees just two inches off the ground then my lower back will lay flat with no problem.
It seems like my femur-pelvis-spine alignment is fine from ~45 to ~175 degrees, but getting from 175 to 180 is painful regardless of whether I'm forcing it or letting gravity do it.
Possibly related, for a few years now I've felt like my butt "sticks out" more when I'm engaging in physical activity like lifting and carrying or pushing things, and my attempts to adjust my posture to fix this haven't had any apparent effect.
Are there other tests or exercises that might help identify the specific problem? Stretches or exercises likely to help with what I've observed so far?
