Working on your core body strength by doing things like pilates helps also, as it strengthens your back muscles so you can hold a good posture better without it hurting.
Making sure you get regular massages helps so you don't have muscles that are stuck into positions that make it virtually impossible to keep you shoulders back, spine erect etc. also helps
I recently found out about bad posture affecting your pelvic floor too - and believe me it makes a huge difference. I started to see a physio about my pelvic floor thinking it was all about muscle strength - I'd been doing Pilates for years and couldn't understand why I still had a problem. Then I found out it wasn't strength at all, it was my sway back. Thanks to my strong Tranverse-abdominus muscles from Pilates it didn't take long to be able to change the way I stand to straighten my back more - and amazingly it has made a huge, huge difference. No more dreading sneezing - and I can even jump on a trampoline now!!
