    9:23 One of the only people who tells you how you might feel the following day after the exercises. Many people might feel sore, and think that something is wrong and it's not working and give up, even though the soreness is only temporary. Great info, thanks

    I like how you explained the anatomy behind which key muscles and joints are causing this forward head posture. Stretch the front, strengthen the back and mobilize the T spine. Makes so much sense to address this pattern as a whole group and puts the stretches in perspective.

    • @BodyFixExercises

    I love the information that I have needed for 20+ years working industrial construction. It's very hard on the body which you don't realize how bad until after 10 years or so when you start to realize you can't do as much as you once could. I got stuck with the most physically demanding, nasty, hard to work in places and after all those years it has me at home and generally in a wheelchair most of the time. I really could have used this so long ago.

    Found your channel because I think the algorithm must’ve heard me mention my (now-properly-identified) rhomboid pain. I’ve had chronic migraines since I was in fourth grade, and neck tension has become more and more of a trigger (or at least contributing factor) for them in recent years. Today I did a few of your exercises and was shocked at how loose my neck could feel afterward. I’m excited to potentially have something new in my toolbox! Thank you!

    i would like to warn everyone to NOT do wall angels first, especially if they hurt.
    it made my spine flex even more because of the "shoulders touch the wall" portion of the exercise.
    you might have anterior pelvic tilt and if that isn't addressed first it will make things worse
    in my example I had forward head posture but my shoulders were pulled back so stretching my pecs or strengthening any of my back muscles made things worse
