5 Best Ways to Improve Your Posture - Ask Doctor Jo

Want to improve your posture? Here are some simple things you can do. Having bad posture can cause pain in your neck, shoulders, back, and our whole body. Purchase a posture support brace here: www.askdoctorjo.com/improve-po...
One way to improve posture is by using a posture correcting brace like the one I feature in this video. They are designed to retrain the muscles and help prevent fatigue, but they should not be used long term. The brace is fully adjustable and comfortable as well.

My posture is bad because I have social anxiety so when I walk, I always face down at the ground to avoid eye contact 😔.

[@armeenzahra2874]

[@hannahmendoza1710]

I don't have social anxiety (really shy though) but I always look down (because when I do it, I feel like people can't see me). And my shoulder is hunched forward.

[@Jamlovino]

this is me all the time but not because of social anxiety just because i don't want to see people.. hahhahah

[@effyapples6219]

I’m the same, but also with being tall, I constantly look downward :(

[@jonahf2911]

I keep hunching my back due to thinking it's weird to be the taller person in class. I am full of regrets now. Sometimes i think confidence might help me back then

[@gc8972b]

it will. think of this: you are tall, you got certain physical advantages, bottom line. you naturally attract attention from your fellow humans, either neutral (oh, someone's taller than me. ok) or positive (wow, he's tall.......). it's gonna be bad mostly if you don't take responsibility for what you are, and that's true for any trait, simply because it shows. do you tell the truth, are you a decent person? so go grab what's yours, fight for your purpose, your height will help you even against some resistance you may find in your way. don't hide, or you will suffer. I've been 6"3' since I was fourteen, and took me forever to realize those things. It's all connected. Keep up 👊

[@agatha8899]

@ciaran perry ok thank you so much

[@TaroIwamoto]

then my question to you is is it still a good posture? How do you know a good posture? People talk about posture as if one fits all, and there is only one correct posture, which is a problem. Subjective comfort is never accounted for the idea of "good posture" which is very problematic in my opinion. Good posture if truly good has to be comfortable and efficient and natural, so you feel like you are at home, feel easy. Babies don't think about all these things (good posture, bad posture). They move the way they feel. If they don't feel good, they adjust and find a way to move and sit more comfortably. As we get older, we lose touch with our own body, and ask others how we should move, which is very unnatural and funny if you think about it.

For me, growing up a very tall computer nerd that was obese from ages 19-23 is not a good combo. Constantly looking down and constantly slumping. I’m about halfway to a healthy weight, but I’m focusing on getting that posture back, that double chin gone, and someday getting some muscle in place of the fat. This video is a very good start for addressing the posture

When I was in elementary school, I grew taller than many of my classmates and developed horrible posture that only got worse as I got older. I took on habits that only worsened it (like sitting at the computer all day). I fell in love with rollerskating a few years ago and I know it's all over the place now and you may be sick of hearing about it but I find that skating (because it's such a workout for your lower back and core muscles) in combination with regular yoga was the only thing that truly ever helped my posture. I just have to get myself to start doing it all regularly again... lol

Could you make a vid about the “proper” posture while staring down at our phones all the time? I know it sounds kinda silly, but I feel like my posture got thrown off by being on my phone so much (a lot of it is for work so I can’t just not use my phone). My whole life I was a dancer with perfect posture but now I’m starting to feel some aches in my neck sometimes when I wake up. Do you have any tips on how to properly look down at your phone with the least stress possible to our head, neck shoulder area? I feel like I’m jutting my chin forward. Should I be stretching my neck more up as I look down and keep my chin tucked? IDK it’s really bothering me.
