A member asked:

What is the best posture to recover from a back injury?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A posture that is : Neutral or loads the spine as minimally as possible. Your head is centered over your hip/pelivis from a front as well as a side view for s neutral posture. Too far forward or backward or even to one side or the other places increased load across the back.
