I started wearing a clavicle support brace to force myself into better posture and it has worked great. I only wear it until it is uncomfortable (30-60 minutes at various times), but I've noticed even in 3 weeks my posture has improved. Wearing it while walking will help too because you can retrain your brain to walk properly. I can vouch for this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CMV3ATS
In general, if you can make changes to make sitting a luxury - you will reap the rewards. All of the soreness from standing or walking all day will eventually go away - and your default position will be standing/in motion. I've found I don't even like sitting on couches any longer - I just didn't realize that the human body prefers to be in motion - as a developer I thought "screens" and sitting was the norm.
Make sitting a special luxury and everything will change. Even if they won't give you a standing/walking desk - you can control your world once off work. Plus you can stand up at various times throughout the hour. Standing up on its own uses a lot of muscles as you work against gravity. Soon standing up will be easy - which makes mornings great.
The best change towards better posture for me was wearing the clavicle brace while walking on a treadmill at about 3mph (or outside works too) - trade your couch for a small slow treadmill and you'll find watching binge-watching shows to actually make you feel better - the hours fly by and when you walk out into the real world - you find yourself more in control of your body.
Just give it a few weeks and you'll find yourself standing better, walking better - and most importantly feeling better.
Just some thoughts based on my own experiences this past month.
Also: For the first few days - changing posture required me to keep my central core pretty much flexed while standing or in motion - but after a few weeks those muscles get used to it. If you feel uncomfortable with proper posture it will slowly become the norm. After a while, you can tell when you're slouching because it becomes the less-comfortable position. And my stress moved from my shoulders to my core - which seems more capable of handling stress than my neck and shoulders.
This Clavicle brace cured me of severe neck pain from hours of hunched LSAT studying. Also, it certainly pulls your shoulders back--improving posture. I'm 5'11, got the medium.

I've had posture issues before. Has anyone used anything like this for support? I thought it would help improve my posture while I'm sitting at a desk for extended periods.
