"Thank you TSR for helping me improve my posture!"

#PokemonGO: Long-time reader, first-time poster here.In the first couple of months of playing, I was a stereotypical PoGo player - frame hunched over my phone, head bowed as I cleaned up local lures! Consequently, I'd come home after each session with neck, shoulder and back aches.Before reading a couple of threads on here advising the community to be conscious about posture, I had never really paid it much consideration. After years of slouching in school and gaming chairs, my posture was in pretty poor shape and will have exacerbated my PoGo pains.Because of these threads, I researched and worked on improving my posture. I stood/sat up straight, kept my head up and shoulders back as much as possible when playing (and outside of PoGo, of course). Using the in-game sound effects/headphones helped with this as I didn't need to continually look down to see if anything had spawned.A few months of practice later, I'm feeling positive results. My core muscles have strengthened sufficiently that I now naturally stand with a healthy posture! Moreover, I feel greater confidence and a few people have even thought I've grown.So I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you all for raising this important issue a few months ago and subsequently helping me improve my quality of life!Happy hatching, fellow travelers! via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2oEIQKb
