My but can't touch the wall.with a pillow behind my back. Is my back too bad to straighten my poor posture?

[@L4GANN]

The improvements are permanent?

[@drjonsaunders]

If you keep at it, yes@@L4GANN

​@drjonsaunders what if my lower spine is not facing forward but instead it's facing backwards. Would this exercise also help to fix that or would it make it worse?

[@hassaansial5373]

I think there are more than 700 comments here, and you have answered all of them. I really appreciate you, you are doing a great job, and you will progress a lot.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@scottcook3608]

I am 65 years old and I've had poor posture all of my life, started doing this exercise 3 days ago and I feel like a totally different man! Thank you so much for your excellent information doctor! I have two small variations that some people might consider, the first variation is to do this exercise while lying down and let gravity assist you as you stretch into this exercise. The second thing that has helped me is to try to take a couple of deep breaths in through my belly as I'm in the middle of the stretch , this seems to really help loosen up those muscles in my midsection region that seem to promote me being slumped over. I am so happy I found your information doctor! Thank you again!

[@drjonsaunders]

Glad you found it helpful and thanks for sharing your tips. Take care. :)

[@kirstisalo254]

❤I feel when i see tha it's good exercise ,

[@kforest2745]

I had poor posture too as a child slightly rounded shoulders. When I was a teen it was noted I had very slight curvature in the lower spine. But it’s never progressed worse, as I’ve never taken to sitting for long not work not vehicle not home. But at home has changed somewhat as I’m tiring with age and slowing down and now I’m looking for ways to keep moving.

[@drjonsaunders]

If you can fix your posture, it will help with spinal pain...while the neck cloud provides a gentle stretch, it won't correct posture. Best wishes.

Hi Doc, thank you for the vids. I’m in my mid 40’s and I continue to get these knots in my upper back and neck area. I feel like I will never be the same. I go to PT and a chiropractor. They say I have posture issues. Why do I keep getting these knots that cause such discomfort?

[@drjonsaunders]

Poor posture will cause the muscles to be stretched in some cases and then some will be contracted - causing inflammation, etc....correcting your posture will help! Best wishes.

[@peterrusso498]

Thank you. Sometimes I feel like I have something awful that will never go away. When I get these knots in my upper neck and lower head area it starts to feel like my head feels heavy for my neck. Is this normal?

Hey, can you suggest a particular pillow not the typical ones that are out there? I’ve tried them all for the same issue I know I need to lay on my back, but I’m at hairdesigner and I have an issue with my shoulder on the left from lifting it up before they were using ergonomics. I just can’t stay all night on my back. I’m one of those pillows that you and stuff so it fits you. I probably have tried six different fancy pillows and none of them work.

[@drjonsaunders]

Yes, but then you have taken a great exercise and changed it into a mediocre stretch - 2 very different things.

[@anthonydavid1965]

@@drjonsaundersCorrect! Performing this exercise whilst standing is an ‘active’ movement whereby the muscles surrounding the spine are contracting to maintain the improved posture. Performing this on the floor is a ‘passive’ exercise which enables gravity to create the posture and is arguably not as effective as standing. In the medium to longer term the aim is to teach the muscles to hold the spine in a better posture, usually to increase or restore the natural lordosis (curvature) of the spine in the lumbar region. The standing exercise also enables the spinal ligaments to support the spine and to become less stretched and therefore maintain a good posture without excessive use of the spinal muscles as these become overused and ‘tight’ if the foundation of the spine is not correct.
