Keep sitting straight. This will feel weird and even sore for the first few weeks but stick with it.
Be concious of your posture all the time and when ever you feel your self slouching pull back your shoulders and straighten up. Be careful when you are at your laptop as you can really forget about the way youre sitting then. Practice will make perfect. I find it hard and uncomfortable to slouch now it has really worked for me.



first make sure you are wearing the correct bra size.
there are many back strengthening exercises that you can google.
you can get a posture brace to wear under your clothes until your posture improves.
get a back massage or buy a massage that you can attach to a chair.



you don't have to sit like a straight piece of wood, but gradually correct yourself.

also, it could be a heavy backpack or the way you sleep. if you notice bad posture though, try and fix it.

i suggest heat pads too. the relax the muscles in your back, you just have twitched something.



Pain management with whatever has worked for you in the past.
Follow up with physical therapy.



Got to a chiropractor



yea slouching is bad
if pain continues after sitting up straight, see Dr. Dre
