Can i change my posture?

Answers:

While sitting roll up a towel and put it behind your lower back. This will force your upper back into the proper position. Eventually you will put yourself into the position on your own. There are some upper back/shoulder exercises to build stength in the area. It will help keep your shoulders back and not rounded forcing you into a bad position.

The exercises are called T's I's and Y's. They are so named because you will make the shape of these letters with your body. Lay flat on your bed face down, roll up a hand towel and put it under your forhead (it will align the neck and keep you from squashing your nose). Bring arms out to the side making a "T". Raise and lower arms 10 times. Next bring arms slightly toward head making a "Y" shape. Raise and lower arms 10 times. Next bring arms along side head making a "I" shape. Raise and lower arms 10 times. Next bring arms down along side your body again making a "I" shape. Raise and lower arms 10 times.

Do 3 sets of these each day (they sound easy but you will feel like you just worked out!). As your strength increases you can add light weights as needed to keep it challenging.
