Q: whys my back always feel stiff and achy? can it be from poor posture and working from home to much sitting?

: You are relatively young for stiff back and aching even if you often work in sitting position. At first, you should try back exercise for approximate thirty minutes a day which can be done during breaks from your work. If your back symptoms have not improved after one month, you should see a doctor for exam and spine X-rays, CT or MRI.
