I have been dealing with physical therapists for a few weeks now. We are trying to get the muscles linking my pelvis and spine to act the way they should. I have had problems with them since I was a young adult --- yes there was such a time.
Of the many good points one therapist made one was that your spine is not really your back bone except in the metaphorical sense. It really is closer to the center of your body. Think about it. Even if you can see your spine, i.e it's is not obscured by muscles or other tissue, the part that is even with your back is the extreme rear of your spine, the center of your spine is well "inboard" of your back, particularly your shoulders and your glutes. Keeping this in mind can have some benefit to your posture. Also keep in mind that your spine curves forward and backward on its journey from your seat to your skull. So stand erect but don't think your spine should be a straight vertical column.
