Thanks for the response!

Yes, I agree that the posture is an issue but I'm getting total apathy in regards to doctors about it. They refuse to believe that my posture can cause such issues (This is coming from multiple family physicians, an osteopathic manipulator, and LMT's). Physical therapists have also looked at me and said that my posture is decent. (I tend to disagree but what do I know!)

I will post pictures of what I'm talking about. Mind you, my posture is bad if relax my body but I an force it into a correct position though (which is how I normally walk)

Any suggestions for the constant stiff neck and back? I feel like an old man and my trigger points never go away.

With is different from a MDT than a traditional physical therapist?

I'd think for this you might try finding a McKenzie (MDT) trained physiotherapist with a good reputation. The one I'm working with presently has great success with instances such as yours. At the very least, find someone who can really aid you with your posture, stabilizing you in a good one. This requires lots of muscle retraining and counterbalance exercises for those forward flexed postures.
