Hi all. For a while now (but especially recently) I've been having back pain and discomfort that I think is brought on by bad posture.

Basically my back just feels weak, I tend to have to slouch whenever I'm sitting and it just feels very uncomfortable in general.

Probably a broad question but what can I do about this? Are there any methods or exercises that can alleviate these sort of problems? It's not something I've looked into before so don't know where to start..

I'm 25, 6'0", slim/average build. I don't do any real exercise, aside from walking / running the dog a few times a week, few other somewhat active things, but no gym.

I've been considering getting a good back massage, I don't if that would help at all?

Any advice welcome.
