Hey Cathe (or anyone!),
Well I've been lurking here for quite a while, and I must say, I'm so impressed you take the time to answer questions (all of you)!! You really have made me a convert to step too. Ok, well honestly, I'm still struggling through--but getting a little better every day!
Anyway, my question sort of builds on the earlier question about rounded shoulders/dowagers hump. (I have both of those badly!)
but I need advice about general posture. I not only round at the shoulders, I tend to collapse at the waist/mid back (like right below the ribs?.
I've struggled with this since I was a child, so I'm thinking I have weak back muscles--but which ones do I work for this!!!
I've been doing 'pinches' lat work etc. but it doesn't seem to be helping.
Any advice out there?
Oh, as long as I'm asking, my head also tips forward at the neck..(laughing here, I'm painting a gorgeous picture here aren't I?)
Anyway, any and all help appreciated!!!
