Sit up straight, Paul

[ciphergoth]

How long do I have to sit up straight rather than slouching at my desk before it stops being horribly painful and uncomfortable? ruis? Anyone?

It shouldn't be horribly painful but uncomfortable is normal.

How long have you been slouching? It can often take a month for every year of damage to fix things.

It does depends on your muscle tone or lack thereof, genetics and how good your new posture is. It is very likely that you are over correcting, get someone who knows how a body should be aligned to tell you what your doing wrong.

If you want to speed up the process get lots of massage and do some exercise to improve your posture. If it is really bad see and osteopath or chiropractor to put everything back into alignment to give you a better starting point.

How did you know I would answer this ;-)
