Thank you for sharing. I have tinnitus, and I believe it's due to my poor posture and forward head position. It's time to fix this issue.

This channel is so freaking underrated it actually physically hurts. I might need a video on how to scientifically treat that

Great content as always! I appreciate your work and the effort you put into making these videos

Hi Yiannis. Came across your channel just a few days ago. The content speaks for itself. It's always refreshing to see evidence based solutions (with citations from contemporary research). I wish you continued strength to maintain and improve the already outstanding quality of your work. best regards.

Simply the best and most informative videos on these topics on youtube, great information and the editing is so precise, I can tell a lot of work goes into these!

thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. the pain, soreness, and headaches come from a forward head and bad posture is real. 6 + years of suffering. couldn't believe all this pain is coming from forward-head and bad posture until I start doing the exercises, I felt much better. God bless you for helping us for free. all the best

Thank you so much! I am a voice teacher that always teach my students about correct posture, because I have seen how much the right or wrong (esp. neck, and of course the spine) posture/position will bring a significant impact to your voice production. Postural AWARENESS is important indeed. If I may share, I always teach my students that posture is a product of "heart". IMHO, our mental attitude, esp. how do we think or see of ourselves, is very significant toward our posture, the way we walk, or we stand, or even talk. Our muscles memories the repeated references of our mind. I think that will help us to have a postural awareness, and then build a better/correct posture (which I myself am still doing it continuously until today). Thank you so much for sharing all this, it will definitely help my vocal students.

Yiannis, your scientific approach, judgement, analysis and presentation are spectacular! I hope that you will continue to develop your following. You deserve the greatest success for all your efforts. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing what we know is closest to the truth of tackling and improving on a problem!

Hi Yiannis, I've to say that your video are very informative and one of the few that are really addressing the problem from the right perspective. Suffering from a upper cross syndrome due some kind of predisposition plus years of bad posture in front of pc (I'm a developer) I can confirm that is useless (and potentially causing more issues at C5-C6 level) trying to fix only the forward head if you have also a very pronounced postural hyperkyphosis, or also (taking another step back) an anterior pelvic tilt. As you mentioned is important to address all the dysfunctional components, and sometimes it's a real challenge because many cases need some degree of personalized assessment. I've the upright go 2 and also in that case I confirm is at the moment the best device I'm aware of for receiving a constant feedback on your kyphotic angulation, too bad It doesn't also monitor lateral inclination. Another environment change that I can suggest for those that stay a lot of time sitting in front of the pc and have rounded shoulder is switching to a split keyboard. Keeping the hands distant have the effect to open the chest and retracts the shoulder blades and this is helping me have a better upper trunk posture. I'm looking forward for your hyperkyphosis videos in the meantime thanks also for providing all the research papers, I'm taking my time to dig deeper into them. This is giving me enough data to plan for a dedicated daily routine to follow consistently and monitor with method the progresses. By the way If you need some kind of help for anything related the argument ( even web development ) or just want to share some infos let me know, I will glad to give an hand!

This is with no doubt the best video I've ever seen about forward head posture. Really really thank you

@@YiannisChristoulas Thank you for your answer! I'm really looking forward to that video. My shoulder has been show stopper for me the last many years (I'm only 27), I think it's maybe some kind of impingement problems maybe due the lack of shoulder mobility caused by my poor posture (my own theory). The problem occurs pretty fast everytime I try to start a new exercise drill and I have noticed that it appears soon after some days doing exercises above my head. I don't do heavy lifting just rehabilitation exercises like angel wings up against the wall, push ups on my knees focusing on the part activating my serratus anterior and stuff like that. Ps I see why I should take of the hyperkyphosis first I think. Tried to look me in the mirror while trying to stand with good posture (straighting my back) and it's like my rounded shoulders almost disappears and the FHP is also really much reduced. Really really looking forward for your video! Have a great day!

Amazing video! I have a request though. Can you show us how to build our gluteal muscles without building to much on the thighs? Whenever I try to work on my gluteal muscles my thighs grow instead and I see no results.

this content is great, so profesional, so straight to solve a real problem, thank you so much

As someone with this condition the 20 pounds thing feels contradicting. When I'm in forward head posture I'm more relaxed because that's what I'm used to and my body is adapted to, whereas if I straighten my posture so that my head is aligned how it's supposed to be with "0 pounds" I struggle to stay like that, and it's a huge effort to keep it in that posture

@YiannisChristoulas

2 жыл бұрын

Hi there! Thanks for sharing your experience, it is so important to have conversations around each of these topics, I wish I had more time to answer all comments. What you say makes total sense. The 20 pounds thing has to do only with physics, any object that is far away from its vertical support point will be havier to support. The question is why you don't feel this way. First, there is a thing called angle-specific strength. This is a term that describes the development of strength in a joint in a specific angle. For example, you might be very strong in the bottom position of the squat but not so much at 90 degrees. Similarly, when you spend most of your time on a FHP you develop angle-specific strength in this position, driving your head back will force your muscles to work in completely different angles, and of course, in the beginning, it will feel harder. Second, our muscles have different abilities to apply force according to their length. When you're on a FHP you train your neck extensors (that are lengthened at that point) to apply force at a specific length. When you drive your head back at its neutral position these same muscles are shortened and must activate and coordinate in a different (shorter) length. This will also make you feel uncomfortable the first few days. Third, if you have also a curved/hunched back it's impossible (biomechanically) to maintain a neutral position of your head and neck. That being said if you don't first correct the position of the thoracic region it will feel unusually hard to keep your cervical spine in line. If you try again, update us on your progress
