I was in PT, but the real results came after getting a HM Embody without a headrest. It was uncomfortable for the first six months while my entire body adjusted, but my posture is pretty excellent now, I no longer have sciatica, and my neck muscles are once again capable of supporting the weight of my head without getting stiff or tired.

I'm not a big or heavy guy, and I've historically been athletic, but after a back injury and sitting in bad (yet comfortable) chairs for hours a day over a decade, I didn't notice how deleterious my routine was to my general well being. The problem for me was muscle weakness that led to overcompensation - a few muscles were doing most of the work, and the auxiliary supporting and skeletal muscles weren't able to do their jobs.

Couple that with some regular light full body exercise, and give yourself time. Don't think of posture or neck pain as a targeted problem. Everything that connects is related, especially if you hunch or your abdominals are engaging more than your back.

Concerningly similar story except it was a leg injury that led to a downturn in my posture. Love my embody to bits and pieces, the first week with it was rough but its been bliss ever since.
