Thank you for the welcome
My PT had provided me with roughly 20 stretches that have technical names. I do them daily and will list them all below, BUT PLEASE SEE A PROFESSIONAL FIRST BEFORE DOING THESE EXERCISES. I also walk with my upright walker and or pedal my Theracycle daily. I continue to do some light yardwork, but my posture fails when I try too much. One surprise is I can pedal my bicycle just fine. I am also doing some weight lifting to maintain strength. The most effective thing however is sleep. This is getting harder to achieve, but it does give me the capacity to stand up straight for longer.

Thanks for sharing your list of exercises @billryan1123! I do recognize a few of them from one of my recent PT sessions for improving my balance. I also use a Teeter FreeStep Recumbent Cross Trainer for about 30 minutes a day which helps me along with an upright row and ride machine that allows me to do squats a little easier. I normally do the tandem walking forward and backward every morning while waiting for my coffee to brew 🙂
