It was a combination of 1) having an office job, 2) Pushing too hard on squats and deads - back started to round and tuck, just as you describe. Also found out I had a slight leg length discrepency and my glutes weren't firing properly. Come to find out I was full of trigger points. Self-myofacial release has been my savior. Start with a tennis ball and a foam roller. As you release and get used to it, you can move to a lacrosse ball and pvc pipe. I've also recently purchased the theracane (google it) which allows you to generate some good leverage to get into deeper muscles. There's also a good book, "The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook: Your Self-Treatment Guide for Pain Relief, Second Edition" by Clair Davies that has really helped me make sense of how pain in one location (eg: side abs) can actually be from a trigger point somewhere else (deep back muscle). It's really amazing to release a trigger point in your leg and feel your back crack. A few years ago I got myself a facet dysfunction.

It's tough since many of us are often confined to a desk job. Good point on getting them to be proactive about their lifestyle. It’s tough since many of us are often confined to a desk job.
