How couldi correct my bad posture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Poor posture alters the load across the back in an abnormal way. Occasionally, with certain diseases like ankylosing spondylitis or in severe osteoporosis, it can lead to permanent postural changes or deformities. Lifestyle changes like weight control, not smoking & regular exercise is important especially core exercises like yoga &/or pilates.
