This was an excellent video! I am a retired rehabilitation, nurse, and find this very beneficial. The other one I was thinking of I did not see in the video was standing behind the chair and just stepping back, holding onto the chair that stretches my back and brings my shoulder blades together. Thanks for all you do. Ron Pass RN

I love watching and learning stuff from you guys! I have cervical stenosis with radiculopathy and a neck hump. I have had 2 prior acdf surgeries but my pain lately is almost unbearable! I so appreciate all the techniques you provide so I can attempt to reverse some of these back and neck issues I accumulated throughout the years from doing hair dressing with poor posture. Thanks a bunch! Doctors are saying all I can do at this point is get the spinal cord stimulator inserted into my spine and or do physical therapy. Take care, Kelly

Doorway stretches help too when you do it regularly, along with practicing sweezing your shoulder blades together. Many Asian people walk with their hands behind their back as well which helps for good posture.

You mentioned watching tv while lying down. Along the same line is corrective vision, especially with eyeglasses. When wearing progressive lenses, it's often a challenge to get the focus right and sometimes it is easier to adjust my head angle than it is to adjust what I'm looking at. Getting the right lens prescription and single vision glasses for reading makes close work and reading much more comfortable. Lenses for computer screen distance can be a big help too.

Hello from Ireland. I love your utube clips and they are sooooo helpful. I think I have this hump thing in my neck. I have been having slight fuzzy moments ( bad description) but they're hard to describe. Anyway I've started to try and stretch. Hopefully the strange feeling will go away I notice it happens more when I'm at the table writing or reading so bad posture. Also I noticed my neck is strained when swimming 🏊♂️ or cycling. I am 65 but active. Hope Bob is doing ok. He's a great guy and very inspirational in how he is coping with his condition. ❤.
Thank you, it’s very important topic for me ❤

I love your videos! 😊❤️ I saw that some of the exercises were the same as used for muscle tightness in the shoulders and back area. That's what I'm using and it's helping my issues. I'm debating about getting a posture corrector support to wear at home. I'm realizing that when I'm on my computer or my phone, I'm causing myself neck and shoulder issues. Do those work?

I just used to sleep on my back with no pillow underneath my head. It was on one side or the other for support, but never underneath my head. I’ve managed to make it to 41 with no neck hump- been doing these “pre-hab” exercises since my mid-late 20s. As a matter of fact my neck is so straight it looks awkward

Im curious how long ago Brad stopped w videos. Sending blessings
What do you guys think about TLSO Thoracic Full back braces? They're supposed to help Kyphosis (upper back hump). Is there any brace you might suggest that can help keep us upright even when we forget about our posture as we go through our daily lives with screaming kids, work deadlines and especially driving in the car when you want to push your head forward to get a better view as you stressfully drive in city traffic? It's super tough to think about keeping good posture once you start dealing with basic stress during an average day. I simply forget about posture as I deal with one issue after another during the day.

It does all start with posture. We haven't done a video on those back braces yet however I have added them to our to do list!
How long should I hold the stretches, and how many should I do each time
Mine is due to cervical kyphosis caused when an auto accident knocked my neck out of alignment. You don't have to start this with just bad or lazy posture.

Do bad arthritic knees prevent someone from standing straight correctly? Locking my knees really hurts and they are bent when standing still to keep the pain away, so I am hunching neck forward. I find I can't look up at sky anymore either.
I find putting my head back onto the headrest while driving my car improves my posture. I am often in the car for 20 to 30 minutes do I get a good long stretch.

I developed a hump after many years behind a sewing machine and a decades long career in alterations and sewing. At 40, I hit a wall with RA and Fibromyalgia and excruciating pain. Meds helped me gain weight (yay, not) and the hump became more pronounced. Will these exercises help me get rid of it or will the weight gain be a hindrance??

I have reflux as well. I ended up putting risers under the head of the bed to raise the whole head while keeping the bed itself flat. It has worked well now for several years. I had to start off slowly, raising it by degrees. My body was actually a bit sore for the first week from the change in gravity pull, even though it was slight. But it has kept me off reflux medication.
