I was experiencing some neck pain, and went online in search of some at-home remedies. Of the remedies, posture was one of them which got me thinking: “Does posture really matter that much?”.

So will fixing my posture help with my neck pain and grant me numerous other benefits i see on these blogs?

    As someone who has experienced a lifetime of back issues, absolutely.

    Your pain will cause you to find a posture which doesn’t hurt. That’s probably not the best posture. That will lead to more pain to worse posture to worse pain.etc.

    I did some physiotherapy somewhat recently. Traction was the best thing ever. Combined with exercise/physio routine and an awareness of posture, I felt better than I ever had.

    It can be very challenging after a life of bad posture. Your body won’t like it at first. But keeping at it will produce wonderful results.

    Assuming the pain is musculoskeletal and not something more serious.
