I agree with your perspective on all of this. However, writing a program to address these issues might fall outside of your area of expertise. Something like advocating a few stretches and simple lifestyle tips like “stand up and walk around every 20 minutes” would be useful to the population you’re talking about, but it would hardly be enough for a research paper.
On the other hand, a full program that addresses multiple postural and biomechanical issues while simultaneously improving strength and athletic ability would likely require a level of knowledge about anatomy and exercise physiology that you might not have – simply because that isn’t your field of study.
It would be like a physical therapist or strength coach going online and asking a forum how to program some complicated piece of software that no one else has been able to design before. It just might be outside of that person’s reach for the time being.

I agree with this 100%. When I thought of the idea, I think my intentions were in the right place, but my application of them were not. I think I jumped a bit too quick on the board to post something cause I was so excited lol. Oh well, I think I am a bit in over my head with my grand scheme idea.
Maybe I should present something that discusses how stretching/mobility, moving to a standing desk, basic weight training and cardio will do good for their bodies. Instead of getting into athletics and imbalances and all that stuff in which I understand the very basics for myself, but not enough to give someone advice. I figure most lifters at some point in life will have imbalances that need to be addressed, so I should leave that up to the person reading to understand that.
