Good advice.

This is interesting to me. A couple of years ago I started getting a tight, uncorfortable (not painful) feeling in my upper back. Constantly felt like it needed cracking. Over time it has eased slightly and I can make my spine crack easily. I think it may have something to do with my posture. I am very broad across my shoulders/upper back and it feels like the tension is forcing my head forward and downwards. If I catch a glimpse of myself side on in a room with a lot of mirrors I've noticed this appears to be the case. I try to stand and walk with my head more upright and shoulders back but this feels slightly uncomfortable to me and I find my head gradually going back downwards. Could you provide a link to the page you got the tips from?

Its all very interesting.

I had to renew my driving licence photo last December and decided to do it at the Post Office in their special little booth at the counter - you stand in it, draw the curtains and people in the queue stare and wonder what the hell you're doing in there that needs you and the person behind the counter to be hidden behind a curtain.

Anyway - they get you to stand in front of the camera and then align you EXACTLY straight, the guy looking at the computer monitor kept telling me I was leaning to the left, but I wasn't, or at least I didn't think I was, and by the time he told me that I was now standing straight according to the computer, I felt like the leaning tower of Pisa.

Anyway, I know what gives me this stoop, its the Nationwide Building Society, HMRC, and this woman who claims to be legally bound to my income these past 29 years.

I did try a few other techniques at the time of looking, but seeing as it's a good few months ago I can't remember what they were. I eventually settled on the below technique as it felt the best fit for me, and has touch wood done the trick. I'd have a look around via Google if I were you at the various techniques on offer, as with most things no one seems to agree on best way of correcting it.

Making sure that when driving my head is in contact with headrest.

I changed my job (after leaving school, I'd always done jobs where I'd be on my feet, most of the day), and got an office job. I changed our bed (we'd just had the bedroom redone, and fitted out) As a result. I was f###ed. Got MASSIVE pins and needles in my left arm, and couldn't hold a thing with my hand. Had a couple of sports massages off a friend of a friend (built for comfort, she was ) and she said the exact pearls of wisdom that you came up with, Spooge. I'm not 100% cured, can still feel a little pins and needles in my finger extremities. I just wish I could remember to do posture tips she told me. Wouldn't say no to another massage off her, too. Don't think Mrs G would approve, though.
