Thank you Jeff for making videos like this. Hopefully this and all the other videos will help me and other people getting a better posture. fysiotherapy and training didnt helped me at all, also dry-needling didnt work over the years and my body developed costochondritis. When i put my shoulders behind, my chest is making creaking sounds and so is my back. Sometimes my chest feels stuck and i cant get my back straight without snapping my chest.
I'm going to try these exercises like i did by watching some other videos of you.
If this will work for me i would be very grateful. Should i keep doing this even when i have no complaints left? Or do you think since ive tried a lot over the years these exercises are only for maintainence and minimalize the pain?
Greetings and thank you in advance

I have been having terrible pain in my shoulders for 6 months until I found a doctor who has found the problem: I have the so called impingement syndrome. My delta and my trapezius are too strong and they push the shoulders up. I now must wait several months to weak those muscles and in that time make the muscles which pull the shoulders down stronger. Could you please also make a video about this problem and how to manage this, I mean how to create a balance between the muscles in order not to get impingement syndrom or with other words which exercises I have to do when I train shoulders to keep the shoulders in balance.

Thanks, Jeff. It's this kind of attention to detail and science that makes your stuff so great. My wife and I were at the gym today (76 and 70 yrs respectively, and while she has been doing great over the past couple of years with her strength and conditioning, she was explaining how her posture (shoulders slumped forward) has been bothering her. She knows it matters as much as the reps and sets for real health. I get home and voila. How to Fix Slumped Posture. I've been a gym rat my whole life, but your approach to training feels so solid. Thrilled to have found you a couple of years ago. Best, J.

Thanks Jeff I'll give these are try! Recently I've been going to a chiropractor who says my C5-C7 don't move in any direction, C4 only moves in one direction, and C3 only moves in 1 direction, but none are not fused together, so I get adjusted every week, but I don't feel I'm making progress after 3 months. What kind of doctor do you recommend from here? I follow nearly everything else you've recommend for the past couple years with great success, so I would love your direction here please. Thanks!

Hi I've got a lot of overpronation in my ankles/feet and have a hard time doing single leg exercises like lunges and step ups aswell as keeping my feet straingt forvard during squats and deadlifts.
this is a issue because I Have a hard time keeping my balance. I Bought a pair of shoes with pronation support, but am looking to strengthen this area. Is there any good excersises to target these particular muscles, wich seem to be underworked.

Gotta say Jeff, I do quite a few of the 5 minutes a day stuff for posture and overall balance, but they add up quite a bit, ever thought about making a complete routine for an overall balanced posture / balancing just for general pourposes? I know thats a pain, and everybody is different, but a standard routing would be a start for a lot of people.
Just an idea for possible future content!
Appreciate all your work, thank you sir!

Oh man I wish I'd learned this before trying to solve my posture prob by artificially sticking my pelvis out and arch my lower back while moving. All it did was f up my lower back muscles down to the quads. The body said basically you haven't walked like this all your life and now I'm going to tighten your lower back and quads permanently. Long walks are an ordeal. I should have started at the neck. Grateful for this video.

Question:
When I stand up and raise my knee to my chest then lower it down slowly I feel some resistance and a dull crack somewhere between lower back and hip about 70% of the way into the movement. After the crack the resistance is gone and I can freely finish the movement. It seems to happen more often when I turn my knee to either side while lowering it down. What could be causing this and how to fix it?

Jeff, since I follow you, besides learning continuously about training techniques, helpful tips for nutrition, anatomy and much more, I have realized how important a balanced posture is for the daily activities and for sports performance in particular. After all this learning process, right now I believe that good posture is a prerequisite for a pain free life, and also a quality sports performance. Thank you.

Hey Jeff, thanks for the great videos! Please do a video for us 60 year olds on sets, reps, days of rest. Exercises that will bulletproof us for our later years in life. This posture exercise video was terrific, what we need. Please focus on things like shoulder impingement, hip problems knee problems, what exercises can we do to prevent us from falling into these injuries later in life.

Bravo, Jeff! This is excellent for all generations. My 92 year old father has created the spectrum of postural issues that you presented from bad postural habits and will benefit tremendously when we add in your recommendations to his weekly PT regimen. I don t have postural issues and incorporating what you shared will keep it that way. Thank you for hitting the target once again.

Hi Jeff, Thanks for all your effort they are very helpful, I follow every single video of yours. Could you please make a video on helping people with pins and needles in the arm? I have been having pins and needles in my left arm and it may be due to boxing, but I'm not really sure and it's really annoying. I would greatly appreciate it if you could make a video on how to solve it.

So my main problem when it comes to working on my neck posture, having had surgery for scoliosis with metal locking in my spine aside, is that I cant do any exercise lying down without something behind my neck. I've done the smart thing and stayed away from things like bench press but for exercises like this whch targets posture, would it matter if I supported it or not?
