Medical Tricks and Tips?

My [redacted - female family member] has been having bladder/UTI problems and she recently mentioned to me that the specialist told her to not only sit up "properly" when peeing but also to tuck her chin in!  I was too dumbfounded (like what?) to ask why but even though I don't know the reason behind it and it might be specific to her body/situation I've been trying to change my posture when I pee (I usually slouch and just am like whatever with how I sit) cuz hey, maybe it'll be good for me too?

I also a while ago watched a video about how mobility changes as we age and that lack of mobility can be a sign of deteriorating health and that keeping up mobility is important for a number of reasons so I've been working on moving my ankles when I brush my teeth and getting up from the floor without using my hands and stuff like that.

So, do you have any weird/obscure/unknown medical like hints or tricks or tips or anything?  Some odd thing a doctor or specialist told you that you'd not have figured out on your own?  I'd love to hear them if so!
