Hi, physical therapist (and almost Osteopath) here. The first half of this video was quiet good and accurate. BUT! There are hundreds possible causes of bad posture (hips, feet, diaphragm system, fascia chains Dysfunktions, skull Dysfunktions, C section, any kind of old operation anywhere, just to name a few). That said, offer ONE solution like a set of exercises for everybody is so a huge approximation and probably for many many cases will be just wrong, because every patient is unique, and so should be the solution in correlation with finding the root cause. For everyone with a bad posture reading my comment: please don't search and try some universal solution on the internet, just go see a professional and let him find the best way to help you specifically. Otherwise you risk in the best case to lose a lot a time, worst case to make things even worse.

[@Marketingfastlanes]

​@@conorharris bro how much time you spend on your posture each day? 😅

[@LionSleepKing5]

This fixed my posture. But i also did alota weight lifting(especially when it comes to core and backstrength; abdominis, obliques, backextender, traps) and streching(mainly weighted; my rom i pretty huge in comparison to the people i know) But this is just additional work i do for other purposes. I mainly fixed it by forcing myself to stand and sit straight. I have to stand like 9h at work and we are told to stand straight, which made me overdo it. After some uncomfortable weeks (due to fact that my muscles weren t used to be in that position for quiet some time) i usually stand straight and when i dont, i immediatly notice and fix it. Even when i m all the way done/exhausted. I dont think those exercises he recommends will change you posture in the long run. In the moment of exercising and maybe emmidiatly after. But changing ur posture will take dedication and consistency. I get so many compliments on my posture and i just feel like so much better. Keep it up guys

[@Fightanddie]

If u wanna see if u have 3 of the curves that are align then go for it u dont know till u see

[@cokeweasel1064]

Being aware of it stops it from getting worse

[@kim-ys2fs]

iv found that posture focused corrective exercises are a compliment to constant body awareness. It also requires being able to relax the parts of the body where i hold tension (neck, jaw, shoulders, low back) Its no good doing such exercises fantastically every day without utilising the gains the other 99% of the time. Ive found that nothing puts me into better posture as easy and fast as my childhood ballet positions; engages glutes, puts my hips into neutral, foot weight placement corrects, neck-hips less curved, shoulders relax. So now i slip that posture into micro moments throughout the day, such as when filling up my water filter, brushing teeth, making a brew.

If you train your hip to be neutral, and your tighening your transversus there is no problem. You can then use the belly breathing as much as possible, as it is the best way to release the diaphragm and to excret serotonin. thoracical breathing is also better than pectoral breathing.

I don't understand. What are these exercises supposed to do? How do these exercises translate into better posture?

Also criticizing a straight posture but not giving clear guidelines for what a good posture is feels like a copout.

Honestly pretty sure that standing so exaggeratedly upright and having my spinal curves flatten, and then also trying to look down from that position, is to blame for me developing a reverse cervical curve 🤷‍♂ Conor’s live biomechanics course seriously helped me open my eyes to how i should actually be at rest and when walking around, its been a process but its been incredibly helpful! Not standing with that extreme positioning makes me feel like im slouching, but its totally a normal looking posture when I look in a mirror lol

I think anything that is done to improve posture by consciously having to hold it is a waste of time. The only thing that will change this is for it to be completely passive and achieved by improving the tone of the posterior chain muscles. That being said, as the PT/DO stated below - easy to oversimplify this. There isn't a magic bullet for all, There are too many causes for kyphosis.

[@TheChatterRoom1]

I’m super hyper extended because I started to develop kyphosis and instead of fixing it correctly I started to stand tall and now I don’t know what to do

[@flower5175]

it's correct to stand up straight, same way as sitting upright to know your posture is right is to sense the tension, relaxed, and not hunched

[@bacicinvatteneaca]

Unachievable. To me, relatively painless and untwisted REQUIRES tense.

[@againstjebelallawz]

The vast majority of the population has posterior pelvic tilt. The correct way to stand up tall (and this is a correct cue) is to stand up with one's nose to a wall and move one's nose up. The shoulders should go up and forward and the tailbone (usually) up and back.
