Thank you so much for being generous and making these videos 😭😭😭 im an artist and gamer so ive developed a SEVERE hump. its been dangerously affecting my mental health and energy. these exercises feel difficult at first but at the same time it feels really good and i feel relief deep within my thoracic and shoulder muscles. im going to do these exercises every few hours everyday!!!!! 💖 update: so on this channel's video about kyphosis, someone said in the comments that they notice themselves automatically going into proper posture after doing the exercises and i thought that was just a load of bluff but i now notice it myself that my upper back is just automatically straightening when i stand and i have so much less pain. im mindblown just by following this once 🤯🤯🤯
I have a habit of doing the supine chin tuck on my bed instinctively because of how amazing it feels! Amazing how our bodies already know what to do to heal!
When doing the very first exercise, I can literally feel the inner muscles working to maintain posture when rolling my shoulders. Also that I subconsciously want to maintain good posture afterwards automatically. Not by force or willpower. So thank you guys for this great video! One other thing I might noticed is that inflammation around the hump/discs might have a negative impact on mood via inflamed neural tissues nearby that area (including brain). That the inflammation spreads. Especially if you have genetical vulnerability for low grade inflammation (IL-6 and IL-1B) like I do. Plus that saliva production and circulation in my feet temporarily comes back while loosening stiffness around the neck.
I gained about 15 kg in the last 2 years and noticed the start of a neck hump. Trying to get ready of it before it gets serious. Also, great point on bone health for women, thank you
Where has this channel been my whole life?! Currently binging right now, but making a playlist because I definitely need this in my daily life. I just need an appointment at this point lol!
This is amazing! I recently discovered a big monstrosity on my neck and realized it was a hump! I was mortified, but hopefully with these exercises I won’t be forced to wear turtlenecks and scarves forever. Thanks!
Very good, works right away and activates the parasympathetic nervous system at the same time so fight and flight shuts off and relax, digest and restore activates aswell, absolutely BEAUTIFUL 😁👌🏽 Great work and Great explanation, thank you 🙏🏽
So good, I can really see and feel the difference! Your exercises beat all the others I've ever tried (and that's a lot of exercises and stretches, including thoracic rack, foam roller etc)!) Really appreciate you posting this piece of work Coach E and Dr D! You guys rock!
Wow, thanks! We really appreciate your trust and validation of our methods. Let us know if you ever need more advice or assistance :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
Thank you soo much doctor Eric. Doing these exercises freed up rhomboids with alleviated my neck tightness. Thank you doc. I would go far to say it even helped with low back muscles. Can’t thank you enough.
I hope this helps, it's something I've become very self conscious about and paranoid I'll end up like my step grandma who has a hump hump. I wanna counteract it now before it's bad
Great set of exercises, but I think the technique on the kyphosis video is much clearer and better for the T-spine exercise than it is here. In particular, it has the scapular protraction (pushing your hands towards the floor the whole time), which really makes a big difference for me. With that, I feel my chest dropping towards the floor between my shoulders and my spine tingling and straightening. Without it, it doesn't work nearly as well.
A fixed deformity isn't reparable. But I appreciate your advice about exercising over medication, and nutrition being important as well. I also have rounded shoulders. When I attempt to move them back, I end up at the hospital with intense headaches that make me vomit. I gave up meds years ago, and I try not to eat processed foods.
Hi! That sounds like a friendly challenge to us ;) We've seen a lot of people with a similar mindset succeed and have good feelings about you. Try out the exericses 2 - 3 times weekly for 4 weeks and send a progress report. We can go from there. Talk to you soon :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM

Hi I would love a reply to this comment please. Ok so when I do the shoulder rolls I get uncomfortable popping feelings in my shoulder and I’m wondering why I’m getting that
Thank you for the advice! After a lifetime of bad posture habits I'm focusing on keeping my neck straight (as well as doing the exercises). Is it normal to feel some pain/ discomfort when sitting in the correct upright position? (because the neck is pushing against that hump?) Or does this mean I'm doing something wrong? I've been doing this for just under a week now.

thank you! for active hands behind the head do you also encourage chin retraction? the video shows a bit of forward head but I think that might be his natural stance. thanks for the great content!
YES! When you do the AHBH try to fight the natural reaction to poke the chin forward. It’s a balance because you should be driving the arms back hard - the fight is where strength is built.
Hello, I downloaded your app after watching the above vid. The app doesn't take into account injuries. I score well of mobility and flexibility except things that involve my left knee, which I can't bend because I have no kneecap. This means the app sends me to exercises that I can't do. All I wanted from the app, as I indicated in nominating the two areas I wanted to work on, were those for my dowagers hump, which I have a genetic tendency to.
The app definitely doesn't take into account injuries. That is what we are here for. What exactly are your injuries? The DMT will give you exercises for the whole body while prioritizing those for your specific areas. You will see exercises for neighbouring areas as they also affect your target areas. However, this is likely not the best feature of the app for you to use right now. You will find what you are looking for by searching the single exercises or routines library. Try that out and let me know if you need any more advice or assistance. You can always email me directly at vip@pmcoach.pro :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
During the Wall Neck Side Bend, do I need to lay the back side of my neck on the wall too? You mentioned that the head needs to be touching the wall, but what about the neck?
It's not clear how much height you can regain but you can definitely improve your posture. Try out the exercises 2 - 3 times per week and remain conscious of your posture at all other times. You should notice changes in 4 weeks :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
Hi Coach E, thanks for the video. I want to ask, how this relates to cycling? My position isn't super low, but still sporty. Sometimes when there's a straight road and nothing happens, I do some chin back-pulling, is this a good idea, or is it better left for at-home training? 🙂
I was wondering, what if the "hump" is hard and solid? It feels like my spine goes up then "Drops" down into my neck creating a hard bump with the elevation difference, rather than the usually indent/flat that most people have. It's still just as prominent if I push my chin down to my chest, or if I lift my chin into the air. I at least think I've had decent posture for a while now, but this solid "hump" hasn't "improved" at all. In the video it was mentioned that extra fat could build up there for extra protection, but I don't think I have much fat there. The skin is taut and it's not squishy around the area in question. I'm still going to do all of these exercises, as well as the other ones from your videos relating to posture and the back, but I'm hoping you guys could shed some light on whats going on with my spine and lower neck. Thanks for the videos and any advice, info, help you can provide.
Hi and thanks for stopping by. We appreciate the additional information but it's hard for us to address the root cause of your issue or fully understand the shape of your spine from our vantage point. However, keep working on the exercises and you will improve with time and practice. 2 - 3 times weekly for at least 4 weeks is a good start. Keep us posted on your progress and let us know if you have any more questions :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
We would also love to see that! Please try out these exercises 2 - 3 times per week for the next 4 weeks. Get back to us with a progress report at that time and we can go from there :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
Good video. But am a lil curious about my case. It's not severe its not that bad, but i had it congenital like since i was a child and am 18 now. So i need to know if its going to fix or reverse with training or its just a waste of time, as i heard bones can change their place...
It is definitely not a waste of time even if you cannot "fix" the issue. It's so important for long-term movement longevity to move/mobilize your joints as much as you can and activate all of the associated muscles. - Coach Joshua, Team PM
It depends on the chiropractor. There are no standards across the profession and they all have different knowledge and experience. Someone who uses evidence-based Kinesiology will be best to consult with. - Coach Joshua, Team PM
Hey! These exercises are perfect for you. You likely do not need surgery. Keep us posted on your progress and let us know if you have any questions :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
Thanks for this. Do you know if this might cause pulling on the sutures of the skull? I've just had this pain fo 18 months and hoping this may help. Cheers
I am 39 and realize I have a hump that developed over time. Been a teacher for years, plus smart phone, plus sitting at a desk… but I also should disclose my posture was never really great. I can still reverse this with these exercises, can I?
Thanks for sharing your story...we are here to help! These exercises can definitely help you to make progress with this issue :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
Hi, I have really bad joint problems in my arms and I was wondering If there was a better way to do the t spine extension that didn't involve me putting pressure on my wrists? This is awesome though!
Don't do any exercise that causes pain or that you cannot modify in order to do in a pain-free way no matter how small the movement is. If you are in constant pain then you should focus on relaxation, pain management, and muscle activation/gentle movement specific to your issue. Where exactly is the flare-up and is it related to a specific event? - Coach Joshua, Team PM
Thanks so much for getting back to me. The pain seems to be coming from the dowager’s hump area but it radiates…seemingly everywhere! My right shoulder is super sore, pain down into my arm and collar bone.
Great question! It's hard to say because everyone is different. However, you will notice results after 4 week of practice 2 - 3 time weekly. Keep us posted on your progress :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
I have had a few back surgery and im still having problems with my hip. Its the muss that if you were walking out of the house and stopped and turned around (right for me) the the music in the 9 10 o'clock pants pocket position hurts, I can't seam to work ot out and I dont think its my tfl. I didn't put much psi on my left leg for years with the baxk problems and surgeries, thanks if anyone could understand what im referring to
Hey coach Eric I have a question so I have the dowager hump and I’m gonna try and fix it tomorrow will these things you showed in the video actually help get rid of it permanently
@@PrecisionMovementCoach oh well I was just wondering since it says to fix dowagers hump and poor posture for good. I was just wondering if it actually will be for good

hello! i have a bit of a unique situation and was wondering if you could answer a few questions! first off i had a spinal fusion down 90% of my back. this has given me perfect posture and the inability to bed my back. the only thing i can bed is my pelvis and neck which accounts for why i’ve developed a dowagers hump. is there anything extra i can be doing? anything i shouldn’t do? is it even possible to fix the hump? thank you so much!
Thanks for writing to us! It's important for you to promote as much movement and spine-related muscle activity as you can...even along segments that are seemingly immovable. It's hard to say how much progress you can make towards fixing your hump but your efforts will be well worth it. Attempting to move your spine segments using the Segmental Spine ROM Coach app routine as a guide along with the exercises in this video will be helpful: www.precisionmovement.coach/rom-yt Let me know if you ever need more advice or assistance. Feel free to email me at vip@pmcoach.pro. - Coach Joshua, Team PM
So i walk like the first example at 1:24 because my lower back causes me so much pain and my pelvis is tilted forward so much that i have a ton of pressure. How can i help that?
It's hard to say how long it will take and to what degree you can make changes as everyone responds to the exercises differently. You should notice differences within 2 - 4 weeks of consistent practice. - Coach Joshua, Team PM
As long as there is no pain you should be ok. The Total Shoulder Mobility 1 ROM Coach routine can help you to make sure that your shoulders are moving as effectively as possible: www.precisionmovement.coach/rom-yt - Coach Joshua, Team PM
Hi and thanks for reaching out to us. These exercises are a good start. Do them 2 - 3 times weekly forever and you will be good to go.

6:00 about chin tuck exercise. When I do this exercise, I feel only my "front neck" muscles are extended. I don't feel my muscles on "back" side of my neck. Is it normal? (I am not an expert on this subject, but hope you understand what "front neck" muscles mean - like front side, where my eyes, nose, mouth are...)
Im a bmx athlete before. I have a cut body type.and after i retired riding I got very fat overweight now or obese think and got developed a neck hump. Is having neck hump cause head ache?
I’ve been trying the supine chin tuck for a week or two and now have a permanently sore neck that hurts when turning my head left or right - am I doing something wrong?
That sounds like a levator scapulae issue. You probably aren't doing anything wrong but have uncovered another, latent issue that is affecting you.

thank you! for active hands behind the head do you also encourage chin retraction? the video shows a bit of forward head but I think that might be his natural stance. thanks for the great content!
YES! When you do the AHBH try to fight the natural reaction to poke the chin forward. It’s a balance because you should be driving the arms back hard - the fight is where strength is built.
thanks
You're welcome!
Hello, I downloaded your app after watching the above vid. The app doesn't take into account injuries. I score well of mobility and flexibility except things that involve my left knee, which I can't bend because I have no kneecap. This means the app sends me to exercises that I can't do. All I wanted from the app, as I indicated in nominating the two areas I wanted to work on, were those for my dowagers hump, which I have a genetic tendency to.
The app definitely doesn't take into account injuries. That is what we are here for. What exactly are your injuries?
The DMT will give you exercises for the whole body while prioritizing those for your specific areas. You will see exercises for neighbouring areas as they also affect your target areas. However, this is likely not the best feature of the app for you to use right now.
You will find what you are looking for by searching the single exercises or routines library.
Try that out and let me know if you need any more advice or assistance. You can always email me directly at vip@pmcoach.pro :)

During the Wall Neck Side Bend, do I need to lay the back side of my neck on the wall too? You mentioned that the head needs to be touching the wall, but what about the neck?
What is the name of the app? These exercises have helped so much! Thank you 😊

Is gaining 2 inches in height fixing bad posture realistic? I have really bad posture. I have forward head, lordosis and neck hump
It's not clear how much height you can regain but you can definitely improve your posture. Try out the exercises 2 - 3 times per week and remain conscious of your posture at all other times. You should notice changes in 4 weeks :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
Does doing face pull exercise's in the gym help with this also?
Potentially if you ensure that your posture is aligned properly while doing that exercise.

Hi Coach E, thanks for the video. I want to ask, how this relates to cycling? My position isn't super low, but still sporty. Sometimes when there's a straight road and nothing happens, I do some chin back-pulling, is this a good idea, or is it better left for at-home training? 🙂
That is definitely a good idea. It is important to move around as much as you can given the postural demands of the sport. - Coach Joshua, Team PM
@@PrecisionMovementCoach Will do! Cheers Coach 😀
probably not much important, but what would you recommend, wearing backpack (on both shoulders) or duffel bag (on one shoulder)?
Backpack on both shoulders for symmetry :)

I was wondering, what if the "hump" is hard and solid? It feels like my spine goes up then "Drops" down into my neck creating a hard bump with the elevation difference, rather than the usually indent/flat that most people have. It's still just as prominent if I push my chin down to my chest, or if I lift my chin into the air. I at least think I've had decent posture for a while now, but this solid "hump" hasn't "improved" at all. In the video it was mentioned that extra fat could build up there for extra protection, but I don't think I have much fat there. The skin is taut and it's not squishy around the area in question.
I'm still going to do all of these exercises, as well as the other ones from your videos relating to posture and the back, but I'm hoping you guys could shed some light on whats going on with my spine and lower neck.
Thanks for the videos and any advice, info, help you can provide.
Hi and thanks for stopping by.
We appreciate the additional information but it's hard for us to address the root cause of your issue or fully understand the shape of your spine from our vantage point.
However, keep working on the exercises and you will improve with time and practice. 2 - 3 times weekly for at least 4 weeks is a good start.
Keep us posted on your progress and let us know if you have any more questions :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
Any updates
Very good info. If you close your eyes and listen to the first doctor, she has the same voice as Carol Baskins (Tiger King).
Ha...I'll be sure to let her know that :)
Glad that you like the content!

Does anyone have before and after pictures of this or anything else
working? Can't fix my neck.
We would also love to see that!
Please try out these exercises 2 - 3 times per week for the next 4 weeks. Get back to us with a progress report at that time and we can go from there :)

I'm 25, I've got this and it drives me crazy looking at it, going to focus on these exercises and report back in 4 weeks 🫡

Wya?
????
Which is better exercise number 3 or that exercice of shoulder mobility
They are both good :)
Good video. But am a lil curious about my case. It's not severe its not that bad, but i had it congenital like since i was a child and am 18 now. So i need to know if its going to fix or reverse with training or its just a waste of time, as i heard bones can change their place...
It is definitely not a waste of time even if you cannot "fix" the issue. It's so important for long-term movement longevity to move/mobilize your joints as much as you can and activate all of the associated muscles. - Coach Joshua, Team PM
I wonder to what extent a chiropractor can help with things like bad posture and dowager's hump. Would be great to hear your opinion on that.
It depends on the chiropractor. There are no standards across the profession and they all have different knowledge and experience. Someone who uses evidence-based Kinesiology will be best to consult with.

@@PrecisionMovementCoach Thanks for the reply!
Hlo I am a 14years old boy . these exercise can help me? also is there any surgery for this
Hey!
These exercises are perfect for you. You likely do not need surgery.

Thanks for this. Do you know if this might cause pulling on the sutures of the skull? I've just had this pain fo 18 months and hoping this may help. Cheers
Potentially it could depending on where the sutures are. Make sure to go slowly and listen to your body. - Coach Joshua, Team PM
I am 39 and realize I have a hump that developed over time. Been a teacher for years, plus smart phone, plus sitting at a desk… but I also should disclose my posture was never really great. I can still reverse this with these exercises, can I?

Hi, I have really bad joint problems in my arms and I was wondering If there was a better way to do the t spine extension that didn't involve me putting pressure on my wrists? This is awesome though!
You can perform the same cues while sitting in a chair or standing up :)

It seems I’m having some sort of a flare up and can barely move. Is it okay to do these exercises now or should I wait until the pain subsides?
Don't do any exercise that causes pain or that you cannot modify in order to do in a pain-free way no matter how small the movement is.
If you are in constant pain then you should focus on relaxation, pain management, and muscle activation/gentle movement specific to your issue.
Where exactly is the flare-up and is it related to a specific event?
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
Thanks so much for getting back to me. The pain seems to be coming from the dowager’s hump area but it radiates…seemingly everywhere! My right shoulder is super sore, pain down into my arm and collar bone.
@@laurabeck8421 thanks for that info. Please take a look at this video:

Hey coach Eric I have a question so I have the dowager hump and I’m gonna try and fix it tomorrow will these things you showed in the video actually help get rid of it permanently
It's hard to say but it's worth a try :)
@@PrecisionMovementCoach oh well I was just wondering since it says to fix dowagers hump and poor posture for good. I was just wondering if it actually will be for good
The exercises look good, but i have the 3 degree of kiphosis and the 1st of scoliosis, can i do those exercises?
You can :)
You mentioned jumping... Does jumping on a trampoline work? Or is that too low of an impact? Thanks.
Yup...trampolines are too soft :)

I‘m really hopeless with the hump, I‘m doing the exercises daily, but will that help with the fatty tissue going away?
The exercises will help with the structural issues. However, only a proper weight loss program can help with the fatty tissue. Put yourself safely, and sustainably into a caloric deficit and you will be good to go :)

hello! i have a bit of a unique situation and was wondering if you could answer a few questions!
first off i had a spinal fusion down 90% of my back. this has given me perfect posture and the inability to bed my back. the only thing i can bed is my pelvis and neck which accounts for why i’ve developed a dowagers hump.
is there anything extra i can be doing? anything i shouldn’t do? is it even possible to fix the hump? thank you so much!
Thanks for writing to us!
It's important for you to promote as much movement and spine-related muscle activity as you can...even along segments that are seemingly immovable. It's hard to say how much progress you can make towards fixing your hump but your efforts will be well worth it.
Attempting to move your spine segments using the Segmental Spine ROM Coach app routine as a guide along with the exercises in this video will be helpful:

How long do you estimate it would take to get rid of this with these exercises? I’m 23 and have this from college.
It's hard to say how long it will take and to what degree you can make changes as everyone responds to the exercises differently.
You should notice differences within 2 - 4 weeks of consistent practice.

6:00 about chin tuck exercise. When I do this exercise, I feel only my "front neck" muscles are extended. I don't feel my muscles on "back" side of my neck. Is it normal? (I am not an expert on this subject, but hope you understand what "front neck" muscles mean - like front side, where my eyes, nose, mouth are...)
That is normal :)
Im a bmx athlete before. I have a cut body type.and after i retired riding I got very fat overweight now or obese think and got developed a neck hump. Is having neck hump cause head ache?

I’ve been trying the supine chin tuck for a week or two and now have a permanently sore neck that hurts when turning my head left or right - am I doing something wrong?
That sounds like a levator scapulae issue. You probably aren't doing anything wrong but have uncovered another, latent issue that is affecting you.
