My posture isn't great.
It's not mental but physical.
I would like to:
- have my shoulders sit back naturally
without having to pull them back all the time (impossible to do all the
time)
- bring hips forward
Main thing is shoulders.
Been lifting for ~5 years, know what I'm doing and looking for new knowledge.
Feel strong and serious about it. Would do surgery for it.
I want to try it all but I've literally got no money.
Went to a chiropractor and she said I had the worst posture she'd seen for my age. (probably due to very heavy computer usage, addiction really). But it cost £35 for an hour and did nothing. As someone who's used to putting my body through pain for gain it felt like a joke - what she was doing wasn't going to help and what motivation did she have to `cure` me; lost business? I left with no visual map of the muscles in my back that I needed for training. She seemed to think that sitting up properly is going to fix a bent back.
Some things I'm going to be chacking out:
- stretching
- yoga
- training
But I'm looking for more info, i.e. surgery.
What I would like is to push my shoulders back with a machine. I find it's very hard to stretch without assistance. I feel if I could step out of my body and do it myself I'd be able to fix it in time.
This is similar in severity to have I have:
