Title: Has your posture gotten worse this year?
Post by: noisyturtle on Thu, 31 December 2020, 20:05:25: I've noticed being at the comp and not going out has severely impacted my posture without my realizing it until I caught a glimpse of me quickly shambling by a reflective building like I'm a t-rex chasing a rat. Horrifying to think I'd been walking around like that, and the entire rest of the day I had to make concentrated effort not to rubber band back into a walking half-fetal position.

God damn I have become disgusting

I don't hunch over, but I do have to hold my shoulders back actively and also straighten my lower back (I have lumbar lordosis) in order not to look like a weirdo. But, no, I wouldn't say it's any worse than it was before.

Having done near enough exactly this a few days ago I feel attacked (I hadn't slept in a day but wanted to play muh games without my neck feeling like a ten ton weight ok)

But yes.. my posture is worse after the previous year. I have been working at home since March last year. I have a good setup, but not a standing desk. I have been thinking of getting one, but I think I will not at this point.
My biggest problem with sitting down is not the shoulders and upper body, but the legs and the hip. I get very stiff hips when sitting down all day.. this leads to pelvic tilt over time I think.
