Go to a massage therapist for some help with backache and a chiropractor to help manually manipuate anything that is out of line. Your chiropractor will be able to give you some genernal exercises to help you practice better posture. Massage therapist depending on the state laws are not able to give you excercises. One hint on going to the chiropractor is that you should feel better once you leave their office not worse. If you feel worse you need to change doctors. The only thing that is going to help is you long term is working on your body posture.

Go to see a physio specialized in locomotor problems. Get him/her to check you out and make a specific exercise program concentrating on your problems. Slouching and problems with walking can be caused by many different things. You need to know what the exact problem is before you can fix it!

Get a physio ball - the kind people use for stretching and low impact aerobics (about $15 at Target) I use the 78cm size. Inflate fully and use as a chair. The round shape will compel you to sit straight and hold in your stomach improving your posture quickly and with little effort. Added bonus I lost 8" and 10lbs just sitting up straight.

Pilates is an excellent way of improving your posture as it strengthens the core muscles of the body. You also need to consciously correct your posture both when sitting and standing as this is exercise in itself when you're not used to it! Also, try not to sit in one position for too long.

Try working with the principles taught in The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies.
I use a chiropractor and massage therapist with it.

I had the comparable difficulty approximately 3 months in the past! I purely forced myself to stand up on the instant e ery time i walked, sit down and dit workouts and finally i purely have been given used to it! My posture extraordinary now could be huge! one million element to ward off is once you're snoozing, sleep flatly!

you need the advice of a physio but you can help yourself when out walking remember walk tall and that is stretch your body up all the time and straighten your back if you feel yourself slouching
