Slumped posture, as demonstrated above, is due to bones of the spine being stuck forward. This causes all of the bones above it to go forward, . People with bad posture are slumped forward because they have no way to fix it themselves. They can hold their SHOULDERS back, and then can bend their spine backwards into extension; but they can't straighten up their spine. That's why exercise and physical therapy can't correct bad posture-it can only strengthen the muscles that you do have. It cannot pull bones backwards because there's no muscle behind the spine to pull it back into place.
