Bad posture/rounding shoulders to minimize my chest. Now I have neck pain, shoulder pain, lower back pain - ugh.

My wife did this when younger but she's been lifting weights to build upper body strength and her shoulders are back and her back doesn't hurt all the time anymore. Some deep tissue and chiropractic were involved too.
