I have found that in addition to causing pain, many years of sitting for extended periods and bad posture has also increased my blood pressure, and standing/walking more as well as improving posture and ergonomics markedly reduces pain and lowers my BP. But I guess I should throw all that out and be gaslit by a bunch of rambling from an article that weirdly tries to invoke identity politics.

You're conflating sitting and bad posture. Sitting will have bad effects even if you sit straight

I’m not, I mentioned both. My blood pressure is measurably worse with bad posture. Sounds like BS, but if I sit forward and slouch it’s several points higher than if I sit all the way back in the chair and straight up. And bad posture is the primary correlation to pain.
