The KEY To Fix Posture

When fixing rounded shoulders & neck hump, there’s one thing people tend to get wrong. People often miss a step. To fix poor posture you need to insure you correct ALL 3 areas that distort your shape… You need to stretch muscles that pull you into bad posture. Strengthen weak muscles that lack the power and stamina to hold you straight and upright. And you need to mobilise the joints in the spine and torso that have seized up in a rounded, hunched shape. Mobilisation is the most commonly overlooked step, but in most people it’s the most important. In this video I show one of the best posture exercises that addresses all 3 areas.

    A long time suffering with Piriformis Syndrome. Your key to recovery from PS was indeed the path to recovery. A long time cyclist I spent 4 hours a day on the saddle. Mornings lifted weights which caused havoc with my nerves in mainly the right arm however your method of flossing and gliding the ulnar, radial & median nerves relieved the pain and made a good night's sleep possible.Thank You. Greetings from Amsterdam 😊

    Yes, Christopher. If you can't put your head on the floor with the roll up towel in place, then first of all try to do it without a rolled up towel. So just lying on a flat, hard surface. If that's difficult too place a folded towel underneath your neck to support it slightly. You always want it to be a little bit difficult to put your head on the ground but still be able to tuck your chin down so that you can look straight up. Over time you'll find that you can remove the towel under your head, and then start adding the rolled up towel under your mid back, as things start to slowly loosen up

    I have chronic, debilitating thoracic pain around my T7. I find that strengthening of the muscles in that area (I believe my lower traps are incredibly weak) causes my back to tense up and increases pain. Perhaps the mobilization of the spine with this exercise is the last piece of the puzzle I need. Will be trying it. For exercises, I feel a good contraction with Roman Chair Y's (the chair allows me to put myself around 90 degrees so I can really activate my middle/upper back), overhead squats (though I can hardly go deep due to ankle immobility issues), and wall angels. However, I'm not sure how to properly rest/recover when my back flares up. If it's tight and in need of rest, when I lay down on my back, I can't use a pillow (firm mattress, I'm a heavier individual). I'm also tall so it's hard for me to find a bathtub I actually fit in. Any tips on resting for recovery after exercises?

    @@BodyFixExercises oh ok. Thank you for all your suggestions and useful videos! ❤ After four months of pain fixes abroad (massage +acopunture) for many years of herniated disk (and recently piriform pain) , i felt so good even carrying big bags and hyper stressing my body.. I just got home and i feel i am like before all these therapies, like there were totally useless. That's why i m trying to understand why my back, lips and shoulders are suffering for just 2 hours walk (i walked many hours per day and swim everyday abroad). Probably is something mental - I'm not much active here and it's colder, but all these pain start coming just after 3-4 days of my coming back - but still i can't believe that my body didn't improve and become healthier and stronger for all the things done recently ! 😅 Apart of your exercises i usually use back stretcher. Do you have any suggestion? Thanks 🙏

    @@hexchad765I hear what you’re saying, this is what I recommend. 1st, if you work on a laptop, get a proper keyboard, large monitor, and a cable adapter to transfer the screen to the large monitor. This will make it as if you’re working at a desktop, which is better than a small laptop. 2nd, strongly recommend a standing desk. You can also get a more affordable tabletop/standing desk converter. 3rd, chair setup. I have an Ikea Markus. Most important thing is having a good headrest, support across your whole back, and ability to just slightly recline. Try to focus on keeping your head against the rest when you work. Lots of content out there about how exactly to setup your work area ergonomically. Couple this with working out, good back exercises, stretching, and 10k steps a day and you will notice quick improvements. You got this.
