Related to posture or something else? It took me about a year to fix my posture but I no longer have back/neck pain. It basically meant being aware of it all day and consciously adjusting, but now I feel a lot better. It's hard to undo a decade of potato in chair.
Not posture. My particular issue seems to be either injury or something resembling an injury. Pain is part of it, but range of motion is (currently) the bigger problem. And it happened pretty quickly.
I’ve had a Stanford orthopedist (remotely) review my records, and he feels that surgery may be the only thing that can get me back to 100% (RoM or pain).
PT may help, but it can’t heal the damage that’s been done.
How did you manage to keep being aware of it all day? In my experience that's nearly impossible.
The sheer power of will :)
To be honest I'd forget and correct it all the time.
Pain is a very strong feedback signal. The memory of the pain helped me to keep my posture right. Though, I'd prefer to become aware of my posture before the pain emerged.
