Massage To Improve Upper Body Posture -Part 2/2- Rounded shoulders, forward head posture (WBW Ep.27)

In Part 2 of this video series, we explore how to use massage to improve upper body posture, particularly if you have rounded shoulders or forward head posture. We look at the muscles that are tight in upper crossed syndrome, and relate them back to lower crossed syndrome as the foundation for dysfunction. We explore how tightness in the pectoralis major and pectoralis minor pull the shoulders forward, and weak deep cervical flexors and tight cervical extensors further contribute to this posture.
We show how deep tissue massage, such as Rolfing, Graston, or Gua-Sha and appropriate postural strengthening routine can be used to improve posture in the upper body.

great video! Any exercises you recommend at the gym to reverse the rounded shoulders?

[@Elmindrida]

My major problem is I have a ton of trigger points and tightness all over my upper back, shoulders, and chest. I have very rounded shoulders, but also very loose shoulder joints (hypermobility). Fortunately, my head doesnt sit forward as described. My neck frequently spasms to the point where I lose the ability to look to the left (makes it very difficult to drive.) I've been through physical therapy many times, but it hasn't helped me long term. The problem is getting worse. Unfortunately, my primary care physician refuses to look into myofascial pain syndrome or trigger point therapy.

where can I find the 1st video in this series? Any type of exercises? I'm looking from the cost perspective. Yeah, money can't buy happiness, but in our fin situation every dollar counts because of high bills.
