Leaning forward with elbows on knees watching tv - for years. Most comfortable position. Course don't do that anymore. I'm wondering if the Forward Head Posture exercise will also help the head touching the wall during the Hunchback Posture exercise?

Very very helpful. Best part was what NOT to do. I thought I was doing what you said until you showed us how not to do it.. Yup I was doing it wrong and fixed it. Thank You!!

[@hildamaclean2763]

Love the neck exercises…and short and concise videos.

Long time subscriber here. Good to see you back!

Thanks so much for your support!

This is terrific! I've started the exercise and hope to have less shoulder and upper back strain because my ol' bowling ball of a head won't be straining muscles the wrong way (and I won't look like I'm struggling to carry a boulder on my shoulders)! After an exhausting physical job (between 4-8 hours standing/moving/etc in the medical field) I lay on my bed, chin toward my chest, head propped on a pillow, looking at KZbin. Pretty sure this posture is NOT great!

I love all his exercise videos. They are extremely helpful. I am clicking the “thank you” button.

[@Invincible_Viltrumite]

Thanks so much, Jeanne!

[@evelynkessinger4714]

Thank you for these great videos! I just found you and am excited to do these exercises the correct way. I've always been conscious of my posture for my whole life but want to maintain it also. Thanks again!

[@staceya9580]

I’m so happy I found this channel 💕

[@kristinlohin6487]

Thank you so much for all of your videos!! This one was particularly helpful, but I have a playlist with at least 10 of your videos, as someone who has spent too much time in PT, they are all so helpful.

[@KenanTurkiye]

These ''forward head posture'' vids are always welcome as it is kind of like the digital-age pandemic. :) I weightrain and sprint train a few times a week, and even I have allocated some of my gym time to correct my forward head posture with weight plates rested on my head and working my neck sideways and backwards, and doing exercises for my thoracic muscles and erector spinae to correct the kyphosis. So in summary! lol thank you.

[@katherinelucas2161]

Really helpful. Thank You.

[@yarazooom]

EXCELLENT VIDEO !!! MABEL TODD holistic posture ''ears over shoulders [drop the nose], shoulders over hips [trocanter], hips over ankles [not toes].

[@maiteignacio5061]

Thank you for this! Just what I need

[@neilbeech4093]

Thanks for the video!

[@tlee7028]

Thank you ... I need this !

[@RachelRiner]

So good

[@ralphhancock7449]

Kind of runs in my family. I've resorted to lying flat on my back several times per day to allow my upper thorasic vertebrae inner muscles to relax, so that my head posture doesn't have to compensate so much. If your upper back isn't so curved, it is easier for your neck muscles to maintain good posture. This works for me, and I'm 75, so it isn't impossible. I still find it difficult to remind myself to stay focused about it. I'm a runner, and poor posture pain sabotages my motivation to do long runs.

[@elizabethharrell8707]

this worked great thanks

[@jamesb46]

Anyone know of a good way to load this kind of movement with an external load? I know that weighted supine neck curls on a bench with a weight plate will build the anterior neck, but it loads the muscles through a fulcrum whose axis of rotation is lower in the cervical spine, which is not what I’m looking for. As Matt suggests, I want a way to do it with the axis of rotation high in the cervical spine. Anyone know how this could be accomplished with a neck harness?

[@jwr3289]

Great content, I also like if you pull the skin on your chest down first before looking up as it seems to stretch better, you can also do the shoulder skin when stretching the side of the neck. I don't suppose you have anything for the jaw? Would love some good stretches as it holds a lot of tension!

[@odettg9106]

2:45 why does it hurts on the back of the neck really bad and upper back ..and also I can't look up all the way

[@alias5281]

Why not do weighted neck curls on a bench?

[@divinemonkey9999]

I love your voice.

[@megakin100]

I’m trying to work on my hunchback and neck posture, but when I do these kind of exercises neck neck gets so tight and my jaw gets incredibly sore. Where do I start if that’s the case?! So frustrating

[@PTrot420]

Any advice for forward head posture caused by a disc herniation? I have been dealing with inability to look up for years and have recently been denied surgery. I am ready to fix it and go back to living!

[@liloomoultipass]

Thank you...

[@sandrabasel1545]

I am a subscriber of the hunchback fix but my upper back is too rounded to do the sitting wall properly, I just cramp up all over. Ist here a variant lying on the floor to start me of? I kind of think the "static back" from Egoscue might be a substitute exercise for frustrated hunchbacks? I will start on the forward head exercises, I am getting a little neck hump and the back of my neck is showing a forward curve. So much work to do, I wish I could find a good local therapist to help, I am constantly worried I am doing the exercises wrong eventhough I carefully watch the videos and have a few zears of live Pilates classes under my belt. Thank you for your work!!

[@alyturner7134]

I’ve been told, by my physio, never to flex my neck upwards, as I had a severe whiplash and have soft tissue scaring and postural vertigo. I realise an opinion may not be given without examination but I was wondering if there is an alternative way of improving my neck alignment?

[@cindyslavik5391]

How can I email you? I’d like to sign up for the program but need to see if my condition will be ok to do this

[@theresaann11]

I have arthritis in my neck . I get neck pain and shoulder pain . Will this help me with arthritis flaring up ????

[@terrywhite6249]

Putting my head back like that makes my vertigo far, far worse. Anyone with cervical instability or cervical related vertigo needs to really be careful doing these types of exercises.

[@EllyChoo]

Thank you so much! Great exercises and very important “don’ts”!

[@nancygraves1716]

I have a fusion at C3/4 & C6/7 which resulted in the forward head & hunchback. Will these exercises work for me?

[@healthatlastcorp]

Haha nice caption 👍🏽

[@bethgusenius5255]

Could you do this exercise lying down to keep back flat?

[@DarthNoshitam]

The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force

[@flor.7797]

Is it better to use some weights after going through the basic warm-up?

[@Matthew-qu2yd]

yea many bodybuilders do it lol, go for it. just be careful. it's totally not necessary to fix posture as it should be corrected by the time you get to that point, but if you want it's totally okay

[@thekingesvin144]

Is memory foam bad for hunchback? I have memory foam bed and pillow and I have a slight hunchback and forward head. I’m 15

[@StolenPixel]

Probably not the root cause right. Start doing various stretches like touching toes or whatever, open up your lower body. Posture comes from core strength, train core (not abs crunches) like train core through breathing excercise. Put the work in now and you will enjoy rest of life best of luck

[@thekingesvin144]

@@StolenPixel thank you! I’m going to start doing some stretches as well. Becuause it looks kinda ugly and I don’t wanna have it the rest of my life.

[@Krammerbiliar]

I feel my neck muscles for the first time

[@wfrancis650]

There are many posture exercises by different therapists on KZbin. Would you please list your name, Matt Hsu, as a searchable topic to enable us finding you easier? 😎
