Have you noticed AS affecting your posture over time?

Hello everyone, how are you doing?  

Ankylosing spondylitis is known to impact the spine and joints, which can sometimes lead to changes in posture. Over time, stiffness or pain in the back and neck might cause slouching, difficulty standing upright, or even changes in mobility. This can be frustrating and even affect confidence or daily activities.  

Have you noticed AS changing your posture? If so, how have you managed it? Have exercises, physical therapy, or specific treatments helped you maintain better alignment or reduce discomfort?
