I've had severe, 2-3x weekly migraines most of my life (I'm 30) and in the last year I've managed to virtually eliminate them. Posture turned out to be a big part of this. Some of the things I've done that seem to have made a huge difference: - Sit closer to the edge of my chair - I'm a bit shorter than many are designed for. I keep a small cushion between my back and my office chair. It keeps me sitting upright and helps my legs form right angles with themselves, with the floor, with my back, and be well-supported. With my back supporting itself more, I don't slouch as easily. If you're also short, also look into foot rests so your feet don't dangle. - I've spent some time messing with arm-rests but my current office chair can't get to quite the right height and I haven't found a good solution (don't want to buy yet another chair). The only migraines I've had recently felt connected to spasms in my shoulder, so I suspect that's still my weak spot. - Raise my monitor up, big time. It's actually at eye-level if I look straight ahead, not just at a level that seems normal for looking at. - Work out more. I just bought a moderately heavy kettle bell to build some strength and get my wriggles out. A few times a day when I walk by, I'll pick it up and do a few lifts in each arm, do a couple of back exercises. Not directly related to posture, but I'm sure it helps, and also helps with some related issues. Any moderate exercise is probably good. - Massage therapy every 6 weeks or so - often timed to be right after I return from a business trip or some other very stressful time. Now that I'm used to this, honestly I don't need much of an excuse to go :) Again, not directly related to posture, but if you're suffering from the problems related to bad posture, this could help to while you're figuring it out (since I'm sure it takes some experimentation for most people).
