If I lay on the ground, my head can only get about 3 inches from the ground before bad pain...can't go any further. So no way I could possibly do the last step. 😞 Thanks for the other tips though...Will do those for now
If i feel the stretch in my lower back with the bowen arrow stretch, does that mean im doing it wrong?
I applaud the intent with these videos, but I feel there is an element of click-baiting with headlines of ‘instant’ relief. I do the prescribed exercises and get NO relief whatsoever
Furthermore, I have had 4x30-minute treatment sessions with a chiropractor - with all of her experience, skills and tools and techniques, and have experienced only slight improvement. Hence my skepticism
Great exercises if you can get on the floor.
Doc, will this exercise also help with forward head posture, or would it be better to couple it with other exercises?
Yes and yes! 😀
Dr. Jon Saunders, after long hours in the office in front of the computer, I have a lot of problems with dizziness. I have sligt forward head posture and round shoulders. I had a skiing accident a few years ago. When I move the dizziness is better, when I stand in one place the dizziness gets worse. What exercises can I do?
Sir please exercise
Sir Ankolosing spondylites pateint Neck is stiff and poor posture forward head
Hello dr.john ..im also suffering since last few months from severe dizziness and it comes with vertigo also and it last for few minutes after having episode of vertigo i feel nauseatic nd wanted to vomit ..i have shown many doctors specially neurophysicians but they diagnosed mi with migraine but im not having specifically headache im having head heaviness all the day ,not able to perform daily activities due to dizziness..now i understand i might have cervicogenic dizziness and from today ill definitely perform all this excerises ..i hope they will work for me ..thank you dr.john
Can a chiropractor help kyphosis
Yes, if it is postural related, but you need to see a corrective care chiropractor. Best wishes.
I have kyphosis and acid reflux so can't sleep laying flat now what
Try a wedge pillow. Best wishes.
Very instructive! Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I had a bad experience with this orthopedic pillow. The problem was that you need to sleep on the thin side during sleep on the back and for sleeping on the side you need the thick side of pillow. And I sleep in different position during the night. When I was using this pillow for a years, instead fof feel refreshed I woke up with neck pain very often. And didn't understand why because all chiropractors recommends it for good health as you. When I tried to common thin pillow its feels so much better for spine and neck. I don't have so much headache anymore neither neck pain. So I think this pillow is too high for normal position and oposite put your head up as well like a thick pillow. Roll pillow seems better.
It definitely takes some experimenting with the principles I discuss in the video, thanks for your comments.
So what about neck? Its hasn't any support in this pillow position. For my neck really uncomfortable.
Yes you are correct, this position is meant to help hunched forward or forward head posture specifically. Please see my other videos showing how to support the natural curve in the neck. Best wishes.
100 seconds?😂
Yes, 100 seconds of active exercise per day. Best wishes.
Yo Dr this shit lit up parts of my back I haven't felt in a LONG time. Thanks DOC!
My pleasure!
The posture you’re going into on the titanic stretch is my 24/7 posture I’m stuck in- with the exception of the neck that now drops forward and is half the length it used to be.
Yes it is a very common pattern I see in clinical practice. Best wishes.
Get someone with a poor posture to display these exercises and show how hard it even is to get into those starting positions. Another channel out of touch with reality and using someone with no postural issues, to show how easy it is for you to get into those positions.
I have 100's of patients who start with this and progress as their mobility improves. It does take time and effort, but it works. It's a journey like weight loss...1 day of better eating won't make a huge difference, but over time your body adapts. Best wishes.
So Doc, how long will it take for one to have their spine straightened with this exercise
It depends on how bad it is to be begin with and how compliant you are with the exercise. Best wishes.
Right. Thank you Doc
People really don't pay much attention to their posture I happen to be one of them. And now I'm 30 with a hunched back and neck and it looks horrible it's really easy to make your neck hunched if you keep the same position for over an hour and it's extremely dangerous. Now I just can't go to the way I was before I'll try doing this at night and see what will happen thanks for the video.
Thanks for commenting and watching!
Much appreciated Doc. 1 Q. though, Could you please tell us which spinal vertebras should we put in front of the yoga bloc (or towel), while doing the exercise? for example between T4 & T12?!
How long would it take to correct if you do this every day?
It depends on how severe it is to start. Weeks at the very least. Best wishes.
What time is best for doing these exercises? And can i do two times a day?
Anytime will work - yes they can be done twice daily. :)
Thank you so much for this. Today I started experiencing severe pain in my typing hand- specifically around my middle finger to forearm and these exercises provided immediate relief!🎉
Wonderful!
🎉🎉🎉🎉super
Thank you!
do you have any exercises for the t1 t2 nerve problem and pain in the rhomboid part of the back from that nerve
Thanks, this is really helpful! How do I know what sized cervical pillow to buy? I'm 5'2" 49 year old female with a short neck
I have a bad posture so i started to sit straight for a week but since then my back is always in pain . Is it a bad sign or is it a common thing?
Will this help in lumbar lordosis ?
Yes.
Today i am starting and see you after 14 days❤❤❤
Awesome!
Can’t stop looking at the dorky 🤓 glasses. .
I guess have your attention then! 🤓
For how many days we need to repeat this exercise? Plz guide.
Daily until you are happy with your posture improvement. :)
Sitting with our elbow on the table or desk, with the heel of our hand supporting our head doesn’t help either.😬
:)
Stretching becomes increasingly more important as we age but I also see a chiropractor once a month.
Great!
This is what is called Yoga.
Similar, but more of an exercise rather than a stretch. Best wishes.
Nice one. Subbed.
Thanks for the sub!
❤
Glad you enjoyed my video!
Great , feel good Very wise and practical you are May you be well and happy
Thank you! You too!
Oh my gosh, that feels amazing! I love it. I am going to do this every day - several times a day. Thank you.
Wonderful!
In average How many days have to do this exercise?
Daily until you notice your posture improve. Best wishes.
❤
Thanks for watching!
When I do these exercises, even though I am not overweight, I get a HUGE double chin. Is there anything that will help with that? I will live with the double chin though over having poor posture!

Could you do this laying on your back?
You can, but it won't be as effective as it will turn the exercise into a stretch, 2 very different things.
Hi Jon, thanks for the video, just wanna ask if this is safe for children too? i have an 11 years old daughter that has a bad posture. One more question, does this titanic pose also effective if being done on the floor?
Yes should be fine for her - but best to check with your doctor - doing it on floor changes the exercise into a stretch - 2 different things. Best wishes.
Please tell me how to increase height plz Sir
