Years ago they used to teach proper posture in school. That is ancient history now. Basic healthcare education needs to be taught to future generations can avoid the pitfalls of poor health due to ignorance. Please keep teaching us these simple basic techniques that can make such a difference when implemented. Thanks for all you do.

Love you guys! I woulda stayed with you Brad! I'm a personal trainer and studied corrective exercise and always emphasize good posture especially when training. Some of my clients would lift 50 pounds but when I tell them to fix their posture/form they can only lift 10-15 pounds. It's crazy how important posture and good form is. Thanks for teaching us the importance!

Just wanted to say there are people who take you very seriously and are thankful guys. 🙏

[marilynweitz]

I never had this problem until I spent long hours at a computer for 8 months to complete a two yrs degree. Then you say something like there's hope for someone in there 30s, bit if you are older there's no hope you probably won't have successes in correcting posture. Thanks fellows

You guys are hysterical and great info! I told my PT about you guys and he’s watching now too!

This entire video is only about performing chin tucks in different positions, but forward head posture does not always originate at the neck. Oftentimes, you also have to correct hyper-kyphosis (over-rounding) of the thoracic spine, or else patients will continue to hold their neck in proximal cervical flexion and distal cervical extension because they want to look straight ahead.

You guys are making a difference and getting somewhere. So please keep at it and thank you!

Bob and Brad are a treasure of the internet. If I move back to MN, I'm definitely going to come visit their office for an autograph.

These guys manage to be very entertaining when teaching otherwise unentertaining subjects

[ellatoler]

The chin tucks have proven to be really helpful!

Explaining Proper Posture
Posture refers to your body position when you are standing, sitting, lying down, and when you’re performing movements such as lifting, bending, and twisting.
Your spine consists of three natural curvatures that need to be aligned correctly so that your weight is evenly distributed over both of your feet. The three curves include:
Cervical curve – this is the curve in your neck that has a slight forward curve.
Thoracic curve – this is the curve in your upper and mid back that has a slight backwards curve.
Lumbar curve – this is the curve in your lower back that has a slight forward curve.
Good posture involves having your ear, shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle aligned vertically from the side. In many cases, you’ll need to train your body to maintain good posture so that the least amount of strain is placed on the joints, muscles, and ligaments of your body.

Health Benefits of Good Posture
Maintaining proper posture has many benefits including:
Keeping your joints and bones in proper alignment.
Ensuring muscles are being used effectively and efficiently.
Helping to decrease abnormal wear and tear on joint surfaces.
Decreasing stress on the spinal ligaments.
Preventing the spine from becoming fixed in an abnormal position.
Preventing muscle fatigue.
Minimizing the risk of sprain and strain injuries.
Minimizing the risk of back pain.
Promoting a good appearance.

Negative Health Effects of Poor Posture
There are a variety of factors involved in poor posture, with the most common factors being obesity, pregnancy, stress, and weak and/or tight muscles.
Poor posture has a variety of negative health consequences, including:
Creating muscle imbalances in the body.
Accelerating wear and tear on your spine, making you more susceptible to injury.
Increasing the risk of neck, shoulder, and back pain.
Decreasing flexibility of the body.
Interfering with your balance, increasing your risk of falling.
Impairing digestion of food.
Impairing breathing.

Excellent video, guys ! One thing, you forgot, is to tell teachers to teach all students the right way to sit, stand straight and relax...to teach that everyday in the beginning of the day....🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭 ( sorry for my English) I know you understand me, I hope...

[Carnivorefitness]

This is totally my problem, 48 years of terrible posture, my head wont touch the wall or floor, soon it will thanks to you guys!

[Stacey]

God, I miss you both so much! I need your assistance with my cervical spine that has pinched nerves. 🤗

[surpingbutterfly]

My pt told me to set an alarm on my phone and do 10 chin tucks every 2 hrs. These are never comfortable for me, but it makes the hump go away. I have arm pain sometimes too and this might be why.
