Bad posture...

[paulnelson]

When I stand up straight. Since my teenage years I've had bad posture, probably causing me to appear about 5ft 10". I feel like it affects my confidence too (And it probably puts girls off me as well; not that I get much attention anyway). It causes me occasional back pain too - and I suspect this will get worse as time goes on.

I keep trying to remind myself to stand up straight, but when I'm focussed on another task either at work or at home, I just forget and find myself slouching awfully. I can get a free telephone physio consultation, and subsequent appointments, from my employer. Would this help?

Anyone else had the same sort of problem and can provide some advice for me on fixing bad posture? Not only for the health of my musculo-skeletal system but also my confidence!

Thanks!
