Brie Larson understandably requires some assistance for her terrible posture

Carrying the weight of the MCU on your shoulders can be disastrous for your back, as Brie Larson has recently discovered.

The Captain Marvel star shared a pic on Twitter showing her leaning against a street sign with a pose that borders on contortion. The caption she wrote alongside the image read “in need of a back massage”; no prizes for guessing what you’ll find in the replies to the tweet.

What has Marvel had her doing for her back to be that bad? Larson has confirmed previously that she does her own stunts, so we guess that could explain it. But surely whatever the studio pays her is enough to find a decent chiropractor? Granted, not many have tried using a street sign to sort out their back so maybe it works wonders.

Of course, the replies were filled with a mix of people blaming her for standing the way she is along with thirsty fans volunteering themselves to give a massage.

Well we can probably do a little better than a random pole on the street…

To be fair, if you stand like that, you can’t exactly be surprised when your back gives out on you. Although, Larson should probably count herself lucky that she can still bend her back like that. Most people would likely be in hospital after trying something similar.

If I leaned back like that, I’d never be able to straighten up ever again. 😂

On top of those replies, there were also a few genuine tips for how to sort a bad back.

Have you ever taken two tennis balls and put them on opposite sides of your spine down by your hips and then rolled yourself back and forth on the ground so that the tennis balls glide along the sides of your back and it feels so good.

Whilst it’s pretty random, tennis balls have got to be better than a pole on the street.

She may be one of the strongest heroes in the MCU but it appears that poor posture is Captain Marvel’s one and only weakness. We can only hope she seeks the help of a chiropractor, stat.
