    Update: my body and mind feels best when doing some sort of body movement every ~5 minutes. That's easy for me as I usually work standing up. Your optimal time window to move your body may be longer, i.e 20-30 min.
    I will be publishing my full conversation with Kjetil in the coming weeks for those of you that want a more technical review of Kjetil identifying the problem and treatment plan. Stay tuned.

      Are you familiar with Dr Hauser on youtube? He is a specialist on this field. I am currently struggling with severe cervical neck instability causing debliating dizziness, pounding headaches, brain fog, memory loss and more. I am trying to convince my doctor and get imaging done but it's hard.

    I work as a UX designer on a tech team. A lot of these cues are ones that I've included in monthly newsletters to my entire organization. I find it incredibly challenging that corporate wellness packages don't (generally) include some sort of gym membership or tips on how people can be physically healthier. So I took it upon my self to share tips just like this. Movement is medicine.

    • @LeoFrenchie
      @LeoFrenchie Год назад

      Unfortunately, going to the gym will often make back pain worse because of poor posture while performing exercises. 99% of "posture" and "chronic back pain" experts on RUclips just repeat "strengthen and stretch"... I've tried it all and continue to suffer. If I've done all that work and come up empty, I don't think we can blame companies for not helping. They would just be wasting their money on things that don't work.

    • @robschilke
      @robschilke Год назад

      @@LeoFrenchie At the end of the day, having some sort of wellness plan to address any shortcoming is paramount. Sure, you can go to the gym and make your back pain worse if you move beyond your range of motion with a weight your body isn't prepared for. BUT at the same time, you can improve back pain (to use your example) by performing said exercises correctly. If you're untrained, uncoached, or misinformed on what to do, I can see how you might not be making progress.

    • @LeoFrenchie
      @LeoFrenchie Год назад

      @@robschilke your message mentioned gym membership & tips. A gym membership doesn’t usually come with a personal coach. Tips in a newsletter or RUclips video only go so far. Misinformed is anyone talking about “tips”, “stretches”, and “workouts” for chronic back pain. Why do you think millions suffer of this and videos about the solutions have millions of views? It’s not about people not looking for a solution. Physical therapists are growing like wild flowers. They’re not helping either.
      If you’re lucky enough to have found a solution for your pain, I’m glad for you. But after months and months of searching, watching, visiting doctors of all sorts and personal trainers, I have to tell you that the solution cannot come in any kind of “wellness package” because what they would include in it would not work. At least not for the majority.

    Jaw/mouth posture I found is also very important. I clenched my jaw a lot as a kid, and I swear it contributes to added stress, anxiety, and in general is just a worse shape for your face. Doing facial stretches and learning to unclench my jaw (as well as catch myself when I'm doing it unintentionally) was a big win for my mental health and self image.

Using videos and mirrors is very helpful... after several months it becomes more natural and not something you 'need to constantly work on'. I also did the exercises and such, but the walking is way better since posture is not static. I am about 9 mos into fixing my posture. So hopefully this helps.

Someone like Conor Harris, Zac Cupples, Neal Hallinan, Waughfit, or Chaplin Performance (or even the OGs Ron Hruska or Bill Hartman)! They may even be able to improve your breathing pattern/strategy (you could even consider a trip to the Hruska Clinic in Lincoln, Nebraska to get your posture analyzed from literally every possible angle and input, including jaw position, visual system, autonomic nervous system state, shoe feel/ground sense, etc.).

    I really appreciate the information and advice this video gave. As someone young enough to feel like this posture problem shouldn’t be mine, it started long ago and I have been struggling to fix it for years. Knowing the solution is going to be painful and at least someone tells you their experience but that it will get better if you put some simple effort into it really helped me say I can try- rather that giving up because it’s “too hard.”
    I especially like this video because, while I know next to nothing about the guy in it, I I know he wants healthy over anything and he noted his struggles to get to where he’s got better posture. He seems legit and I can appreciate the understanding for my posture issues.

    Your rate of aging is 0.69, so for every day that passes you age by ~16.5 hours, or you gain 7.5 hours a day with this protocol.

    Good video for people to see. I was having back problems and after a year finally found a clinic that could help me! My spine in my low back was too straight and my neck was straight and forward. I needed chiropractic adjustments to line my spine back up and decompress it so one of my disks could heal. But, I needed exercises at home every single day to correct my posture/lordosis. I had no energy even because my muscles were protecting my spine and in a constant spasm. It’s been life changing for me and even my digestion improved. The spine protects the communication to the whole body so it’s very important. My x rays show correct spine curvature and perfect horizontal alignment now and I feel it!! It’s great!

    I have been flatfooted my whole life which caused me a great deal of discomfort and alignment issues. I've recently been exercising my back muscles to help with the pain issues my feet has caused and they have helped, but I tried your posture tech and within 1 workout of 5x11, I felt my left side pop into alignment And my stance straighten out. I damn near cried, for the first time in forever I have somewhat of an arch in my foot without having to force it. I'm so grateful to have found your channel God bless ❤🙏🏾

    Head thread, phone to face level, movement snacks, shoulders holstered back and down, face palm resistance exercise, but I wasn't aware of the 1st strengthening exercise with weights - although I am doing a CES certification so it may have it.
    The main thing is to avoid things that are bad for your body which affect posture long-term, such as hunched head phone use leading to tech/nerd neck as mentioned, excessively big pillows (becoming pillowless while sleeping is an effortless posture hack), chest focused exercise causing pec tightness while neglecting back muscles causing their stretching which combined lead to forward rounded shoulders.
    Additionally, there is a holistic element to "poor posture", as it needn't be just the head/neck/upper back area. Even if it is, that may be from compensations due to problems down the kinetic chain, such as lumbar lordosis (swayback), tight hips and glutes, knee issues, or foot issues from improper footwear or weak feet causing excessive inversion (supination) or eversion (pronation).
    Also, there is no single good posture that's "good" to the point of perfect that one needs to stay in it static all of the time. Being comfortable in your body and dynamic is more important overall; while, again, avoiding excessively holding positions which long-term will compromise your muscles and skeletal structure leading to pain as well as poor posture, movement, and aesthetics.

    That's crazy, I have been trying to fix my posture for years and been trying all the common exercises mentioned on youtube but they never worked for me. Recently I had a terrible stiff aching in my shoulders that wouldn't go away and I just started doing stretches and exercises based on whether they felt good and gave relief, none of the usual exercises. And one that gave me most relief is the first exercise you mention, which I just made up at the time. So seeing the exercise I made up mentioned here is kinda crazy to me since I hadn't heard anyone mention this exercise before. It's validating, and even though I still haven't fixed my posture yet at least the pain is gone. Hopefully the posture will eventually change as I keep it up. I look forward to a more in depth video on the exercises you do for posture.

Just look up stretches on RUclips if you don’t know. After 3 months you’ll start noticing changes. 6 months huge difference. 1 year and you’ll be amazed with how you feel and look. Also look up some basic core strength exercises. Might seem repetitive at first but don’t push it and try and move on to more advanced exercises if your bodies not ready, will only result in injuries. Good luck!
