Question
I am a beginner. I have incredible pain in zazen and cannot achieve a correct posture.
Could attending a sesshin help me, or do I need to be more capable first?

A sesshin could certainly help you.
To be capable of practicing at a sesshin, you must take the first step; in other words, you can only learn by practicing. Being capable of practicing at a sesshin simply means deciding to go.
