As someone who has made huge progress on posture over a long period of time, my first recommended steps for you would be:

1. Watch the "Deskbound" Google Talk by Kelly Starett https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfg_e6YG37U

2. Read and do the exercises in Awareness Through Movement by Moshe Feldenkrais.

3. Get into the habit of wiggling and shifting your body throughout the day. And get into the habit of devoting regular time to being more conscious of where your muscles are and how you are using them.

4. Trigger Point Therapy is amazing for self-treating body pain, if you are willing to experience short bursts of pain during the treatment.

Ditto on the Feldenkrais method. Worked with a practitioner to resolve an RSI.

Rewrites how your body perceives itself and addresses the movement / freezing habits which cause injuries.
