For Egoscue you can work from the books. You can get their kit for < $400 and use it for years. I did this and it helped with my shoulder and pec minor pain, although by itself it was not enough (but no one thing is).

Also, try corpse pose. Then add brugger relief. Then add sternal positional swiss ball stretch.

You have to keep trying things out like boytos said. I just ordered the well-reviewed iPosture to see how often I'm slumping when engrossed with my work.

I also have upper cervical problems (http://www.upcspine.com/self.htm) for which I'm getting chiro care for.

You get the idea. Good luck!
