Thanks for commenting, Bill. It’s always great to get the perspective of a PT.

I wasn’t intending to imply that everyone has the same problems as I do, I hope that the article didn’t come across that way. This is just my (limited) assessment of my postural shortcomings and what I intend to do about it.

You are clearly right that the slumped seated posture is one in which posterior pelvic tilt prevails.

If I may ask you, do you find that most desk jockeys tend to have posterior pelvic tilt then? I would have thought that the upper back kyphosis caused by hunching over the keyboard often pushes the lower back into lordosis when standing – the classic “S” shape with thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis? Also, I suspect that the lack of abdominal bracing while seated makes it easier for the lower back to become accustomed to being more mobile.

Thanks again for your comment.

The majority of people sit with a slumped posture, your right. But they sit with and decreased lumbar lordosis or a rounded back and a posterior pelvic tilt. Your right by saying you have a accenuated lumbar lordosis but thats not true for most.
