Stretching WON’T Fix Forward Head Posture [But THESE exercises will!]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- Fixing forward head posture corrects more than aesthetics. Medical studies find that FHP leads to wear and tear on your spine, which can turn into neck pain, shoulder pain, and headaches. Yikes!
Let’s fix it!
Dr. B reviews the current studies on FHP, and then she and Coach E discuss why most fixes you see (like cobra pose and posture correctors) won’t work.
There are ways to correct forward head posture. The sequence you will learn here prioritizes deep spinal muscle strengthening over superficial ones. Follow along and take home the cheatsheet to practice this routine wherever you’re disconnected.

He’s great, but there are others, they’re just in the minority.
22 years old. Fwd head posture for probably like 10 years without doing anything about it. 2nd shoulder impingement this year led me here. These exercises show immediate relief for my pain. I will try to stick to it so once my shoulder has calm down i can focus on my hip and knee exercises again. Thank you guys, I wish you the best
Keep it up!

Coach Joshua, have you seen patients such as the experience of the first person who commented who have been in this state now more chronically for several years, revert their condition into normal posture?
Or would you say that for someone who has had this from adolescence to young adulthood to adulthood, their are permanent degenerative changes- ligament laxity involved that prevents a completely normal posture from being attained?
I am SO happy you mentioned headaches! I've been really working on stretching this area lately and have what feels like tension headaches so I was so confused. I appreciate you mentioning this as I work on better posture.
We are so happy that you found us and keep us posted on your progress :)
Sorry maybe I miss the point, what time in the video mention the headaches?🙏🏻
Your physio content is BY FAR the best physio content out there. Thank you so much guys! Really well produced content!
Thanks!
Been dealing with forward head posture along with a mild form of scoliosis and have been very self conscious about it since my mid teens. This is exactly what I'm dealing with and the daily pain is awful. Thanks for this vid, it was explained very well and so helpful.
Thanks for watching and let us know how the exercises go :)

When I do the Lateral Neck excercise I feel an incredible tension in my jaw muscles . Feels like i finally found a video that will help with my stiff neck and tinnitus
Keep us posted on your progress :)
You've done it again! This logical progression from the "Desk Jockey" series addresses an epidemic in the digital world, and for us older folk as well, whose professional life kept us at a desk or with head bowed to do close work like welding, sewing, cake decorating etc. I cannot tell you how many of my friends show up wincing with a diagnosis of compressed or deteriorating neck disks. When I lay on my back, I cannot touch the floor with my head! For now I use a foam roller as a pillow. I expect that eventually I''ll be able to dispense of that if I keep up this series. Your illustrations with the good Doctor were very helpful for understanding the subtleties. Thank you!
:)
Finally someone figure this out Ive spent 100's of dollars on phisio doing rotor cuff exercies but I always shut my mouth becausevIm no doctor But somehow I always knew that how can you straiten a shoulder in a crooked frame, Sice Ive been doing posture exercises my impingment has improved
Good work .
Glad it helped!
How about spending some money on spelling lessons?
So very grateful for you both. Most informative explanations and video. Most of all thanks for caring! I’ve had this for 40 years and now in serious pain along with TMJ. I am starting with these excercise today!
You are welcome and thanks for following along!
How is it going after 5 month? Are you recommend to start with this exercise? Thanks.
Updates? I got tmj too
Congrats! You seem to have helped lots of people judging by the comments.
Before looking at them I was sceptical because my belief is good posture is to have a good extension between shoulders/toung and chin. At least when it comes to mental gains.
Glad that you found it helpful :)
Very impressed by the science behind the exercises and appreciate the explanations. Diagnosed with Baxter's neuropathy and partial tear in rotator cuff. Looking at nonconventional PT exercises to delay surgical options for as long as possible.

I have had foward head posture and neck pain for years, I try to do the chin tuck daily but would often get headaches. I tried the myofascial release like you did before the exercises and I felt a click and the relief was amazing. M now following your whole workout. Thank you so so so so much, I slept so so well after just doing the release. Pls keep up the amazing work.....
Thanks for sharing!
I absolutely love your videos, clear explanation and follow along instructions.
Thank you SO much!
You are welcome!
Finally got round to watching this video. I will literally do anything Coach E recommends. Always works.

This was so helpful for understanding the dynamics of forward fold from mountain pose. Noticing where I was doing the forward head position while folding forward. Game changer right here ❤
We are so glad that you appreciate the exercises.
Thanks for trying them out :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
I knew I had some forward head posture, which was not good but I didn't think it was too serious. Until recently. I went to an emergency room because of chest pain and in the hospital they found I had atrial flutter. I didn't expect that because I had none of the risk factors (obesity, smoking ...) - except one: obstructive sleep apnea. That itself was something I had none of the risk factors for - except FORWARD HEAD POSTURE. I am, naturally, *extremely* motivated now. Thank you, thank you, Coach E!
How’s your progress?! Do you snore at night? I feel like I stop breathing but they say snoring is a must have symptom for sleep apnea
@@Juggernaut365 I'd have to record myself to know if I snore and so far I haven't done it. I've just begun to do exercises for sleep apnea (tongue, throat, &c.) on RUclips from a chiropractor, Adam Fields, in addition to Eric's. I think the combination is promising, but I don't expect a quick fix; maybe like three months.
Sorry this scared me to death. I have health anxiety and at one point I was fixated that lying in bed my head was a little more forward on the pillow of what it should be (I don't know if that is true or not) so I couldn't sleep at all trying to find perfect spot for my head (laying sideways). After I forgot doing this I feel mucn much better ... and now your comment simply freaked me out I'm probably not going to be able to sleep anymore 😭 Can you explain this forward head posture? How does it affect your sleeping? Do you have to do anything while you sleep, what type of pose do you sleep in. Sorry that got me extremely worried, please reply!
What's a blessing I found this clip. Thank you so much for explaining and show anatomy before telling what is appropriate approach. Informative and Excellent. 🙏 ❤️
You are welcome!
More bullshit!
I'm looking forward to giving this a go in the morning. I suffer from intense tension headaches which I'm certain are posture related.
Let us know how it goes :)
How can I appreciate the video? I got not enough words to say ! Great JOB guys.
Real humanity and help is here. Very generous information.
Thanks for following along and for your kind words :)
Thank you for the chapters.
Very helpful videos
Glad you like them!
Excellent video! I appreciate the focus on deep muscluature. People NEED to know this stuff!
Absolutely!
Really found this video valuable and provided some different techniques for aiding in correcting my thoracic stiffness and poor posture. Particularly the segmental thoracic mobility with the peanut balls: I found it extremely difficult to keep my head on the ground in my 4th and 5th areas up the T-spine. The side to side portion of that movement really tested my pain tolerance but rewarded me with a couple of nice cracks and I felt amazing when I stood up. Similarly, the DIS: Shoulder flexion/lumber extension movement really identified that I have been activating my T-spine erectors/rhomboids incorrectly. Thanks guys :)
Thanks for trying it out and keep up the great work!

1) The one at 17:40 is easy to do when at the computer. if i ever see clock hit either x:00 or x:30 throughout the day, i just stand up and do it. Really feel it in the side shoulders and feels good. Sometimes i miss it. 2) Another thing i've done, at 12:00, i don't have a foam roller yet. But i fold up an old pillow and it seems to work. So, when i got to bed, i lay on my back, with a folded up pillow under my upper spine, and i lay in day in that area (sometimes changing) for about 30 minutes. I do this before sleep. Really helps i feel, i try to keep chin tucked and neck flat on my bed. Bends my upper back into the i want it to go, to straighten spine. I have been doing this 3 days now. Also changed the way i sleep.. ill try to keep it up. i think it may have made a small difference already for neck posture. Thanks!
Keep up the awesome work!
I've been actively trying to fix my back/neck/shoulder pain and forward head posture .. but doing it with degeneration between every disc in my spine , im 32. So the past few months, every day.. I work on it. Currently have a pinch somewhere that's causing bad pain in my left shoulder, between the shoulder blades,going up into my neck, lower back, down into my left elbow and into my forearm. The last time this happened I lost feeling through half of my left hand for about 3 weeks. I'm glad I found your channel because it seems to be more in depth and effective than a lot of others

Fantastic demonstration I appreciate that makes my movements easier & relaxing to with the breathing!🤗
Thanks :)
many thanks...love romcoach and the additonal videos and info.
You're welcome!
wow - just found you and am watching several of your videos while taking notes so I can do the exercises. Like so many others - years of computer work. And the "task" chairs they make are horrible bc leaning back causes you to thrust your head forward and I find my hips slumping too. I'm constantly re-aligning myself in my chair, but my ears are over my mid collarbone now. Great education and I'm looking forward to putting these simple things into my morning routine.
Thanks for following along and keep us posted on your progress :)
Great. You guys are straight as a board. I've been doing a bunch of exercises to deal with my posture targeting the neck, mid back with face pulls, hip flexors and spine stretching. This is more I'll do at the gym this week.
Go for it!
Any update on how you’ve been progressing?
Thank you so much for your videos. I have FHP, TMD, sleep apnea and regular tension headaches for 10+ years. Have seen many practitioners and tried many exercises but yours are definitely new and effective at taking away the tension from the occipital area and related headaches. However, I do notice that I get quite a bit of tension/soreness in the mid-upper thoracic area (roughly where the rhomboid muscles are - possibly deeper?) after doing the T-spine extension ERE. Also if I try to sit with correct posture during the day that area also gets a workout. I always try to keep my shoulders/scapular relaxed during your exercises and sitting. I am now sitting as I type, with some lumbar support and a relaxed posture, but feeling that pressure/soreness there as well. I was wondering if this is normal and to be expected as I progress, or if there is something else to be careful of?
Thanks for following along!
That is definitely normal and you will improve with time and practice :)

I’m currently 5 weeks into their Foundation for Movement Longevity 6 week program and loving it. Also - yes, what is it with the modern car seat pushing our heads forward?!!

Thank you for the headache warning. I always feel discouraged from doing this chin tuck exercises and scm release as I always have headache afterwards!
You are welcome and we hope that it helps!
@@PrecisionMovementCoach Could this also also fatigue back of neck and head muscle to the point as if i have difficulty keeping your head up? Thanks for all your work.
@@Cornbread671 it should not elicit that kind of reaction. Those muscles are quite strong. You might experience initial mild fatigue but it should subside as soon as you stop. - Coach Joshua, Team PM
Yes I got a headache as well! I thought maybe it was because I already had some sinus pressure this morning.
@@Cornbread671 it can with mctd
Your tutorial for scapula was amazing....it improved my shoulders strength , push ups,n posture ...plz make a tutorial for pelvic floor muscles
Thanks for the suggestion!
Thank you so much ! I'm 33 years old with upper back pain and forward head posture for quite a while. It seems like we got a problem in the family with that cause my dad and my uncle have hunchback posture.
Only doing these exercises 4 times since yesterday and I already feel more upright with 80% of the pain gone.
I'll try to do these 4-5 times a day and see how I'll do over time.

My whole torso became almost completely numb over a long period of time and I'm still working on getting back sensation. No one can tell me why, but strengthening my core is helping. But I realized today I still have this forward head posture that i've had since I was a kid. I think this probbaly was the first part of the chain reaction. It really annoys me beyond the numbness because it makes it make more tension to try to take a good breath in general, but particularly in yoga. So thanks for this video hopefully this will be helpful for me :)

These exercises worked wonderfully. They worked better and faster than what I learned in physical therapy on two different occasions. I've seen two different therapists for about 6 weeks at a time with a couple years in between and I only saw results after one physical therapist but it took 6 weeks.
After only doing these exercises for a few days, I am effortlessly holding up my posture and I have relief!!
Awesome!

My problem is APT (anterior pelvic tilt) with swayback posture too, meaning I have an exaggerated curve in the lower back which causes the lower abdomen and butt to stick out more than they should. I'm always looking for exercises/stretches to improve my posture because I can't stand seeing myself like this. But so far nothing has really made much of a difference at all.

Good motivation for everyone, facing that challenge... Get your neck free!
A forward head posture might very well have also a psychological impact..
Breathing well is clearly linked to feeling happier and more confident. A bad breathing causes anxiety and stress
Body-mind axis.
Changing one's posture is changing one mind.
Well put.
These are great points! I find that T-spine extension ERE is really tough to initiate, how do you know or what can you do to cue yourself to maintain that thoracic ext?
We are happy that you appreciate the material.
Your T-spine ERE technique will improve with time and practice as it is tricky to tune into that region of the spine.
If you start with your spine fully extended (i.e. arched) then focus on keeping your t-spine in the exact same position while you tuck your tail (i.e. tilt your pelvis backward) and tuck your chin (i.e. flex your neck) then you will be in a good spot :)

The car seats are THE WORST! My clients are now shaped like their awful seats… day 2 owning my last new car, I got a thoracic cushion to push my rib cage forward and open my chest.. what’s with the head rests being tilted forward?! I offered to go out to my clients cars and check out their posture and correct some things and maybe make suggestions about extra pillows that they can place strategically. It seems to help.
Car seats are designed to reduce the severity of certain injuries that can result from accidents. They are not designed for comfort or with Kinesiology in mind.
