My understanding is that he seldom practiced.  I recall a story from one of the biographies that he (at least) once prepared for a recording by studying the score away from the piano, and then playing it perhaps once before recording it.

Regarding his posture, little excercise besides perhaps walking and a poor diet could be factors.
