if you don't already do it, actively strengthening your back (pull downs, single arm dumbbell rows, working up to a pullup) helped me a ton with a shitty job where I was hunched over a table that felt like it was built for people at 5'2 and no taller lol

actively strengthening your back makes it harder to hurt from 'slightly abnormal use' even if it gets uncomfy

Basically the same for most things -- same reason it's good to actively do squats and similar exercises too, even if just with your bodyweight n stuff - because when you're 70 if you can still do those, then something as simple as stepping out of a chair shouldn't be an issue like it is for many older people who have lived more sedentary lives
