  • To fix forward head posture, hunchback, or rounded shoulders once and for all, we need to do 3 different types of exercises-(i)STRETCH the 2 main muscles that pull our head & shoulders forward, (ii)STRENGTHEN the 3 main muscles that pull our head & shoulders back, and (iii)MOBILISE any restricted joints in the spine & breastbone. You need to address ALL three areas for success.

    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
      @BodyFixExercises  3 года назад +18

      Thanks Amee. I'm a bit of an anatomy geek and my brain always wants to know why, so my videos always seem to end up like that. ;) Thanks for your kind words

    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

    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 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.

Now I can tell just how my neck and back should feel with doing these exercises I'll keep working on them every night. I've been dealing with these chest pains for 14 years straight without a day of relief. Thank you for your help and your time. I can tell looking in a mirror that I'm standing more the way I ought to and it feels better.
