Thank you for this. I have scoliosis and I needed this. I struggled with the traditional wall angel

After much searching - yours is about the only video to offer a way of correcting any bad posture! Lots tell you how you should do it - but thankfully now after watching this video, I can start to correct my bad posture and get to the point where I can do 'back against the wall - wall angels' - thank you Dr. !

What about doing the exercise on the floor (floor angel)? That way, it should be easy to keep your head, shoulders, and hips in a straight line.Okay, throw in "thoracic" if you want. Do four points (head, shoulders, thoracic, and hips) have to touch, or only three (head, shoulders, and hips)? Is there a difference? Aren't three and four really the same?

Hey, I just did your exercise. It wasn't easy, but I know that, by using it, I will eventually be able to do the wall angel exercise properly and without strain. Same with Floor angel, I think, and with less effort. (Thu Jun 16, 2022)

Thanks Brad, I'll give this a try. Much appreciated. ;-)

Just saw a chiropractor. This exercise is to reduce rounded shoulders...reducing the “hump” created by bad posture.

cheers for that. When I do the angel walls by sliding my arms, I feel a deep pain in my chest/sternum/upper back between the scapula. Is that normal ? By doing this progression, the pain isn't activated as much bt I feel the upper back stretch all the same (ding the arms fully extended over my head).

i can do floor angels but i can't do wall angels

[sehz]

what are the reasons that most people cant get it above their shoulder level? which area is tight ? ive been doing this exercise for 5 months now almost daily. still cant get it past my shoulders

[NataliaRomanovaBallet]

Is there a more challenging version of this?

[NeelSea]

Is this for people who can’t get their head against the wall in the regular wall angel exercise?

[jeenahanifzai]

What is this used for in simple terms?

[devilpizza]

I can't even do this. My shoulders are really fucked.
