You provided a nice over of movements to avoid. A few ideas that are helpful. Good posture is a must in all that you do. Don’t just think about your shoulders back , but also think of maintaining distance between your rib cage and pelvis. Work on spine extension strengthening along with shoulder exercises where you bring your scapulas( shoulder blades) in to your spine and down. Prone extension like babies do that a lot when laying on their bellies. People sometimes refer to it as the airplane position. Strengthening your spinal muscles are very important. As you do exercises that puts tension on the spine it affects the bone , ie building bone quality and density.
