What about when I sleep? If I put a pillow under my head, I'm essentially pushing my head forward of my shoulders. Should I remove the pillow from under my head and put a pillow under my knees?
I've removed one of the 3 pillows I usually sleep using. That was a week ago. Man did it mess with my lower back! Finally seem to have adjusted to it so in a few days will start using just one pillow as am sure this has been a large contributor to my hunch posture. Once I've adjusted to that going to increase the wall sits and maybe start on some core exercises. Only drawback to the decrease in pillows is my snoring has increased in frequency and volume. Hubby verified that increase but I could tell by how my throat feels when I wake up. Hopefully he doesn't end up sleeping on the couch 😣
@@corinabanu7556 im doing alot better thanks for asking, im try and keep my shoulders back. But my back is grown weird so a hunchback will always be there :)
I deliberately looked this up because a good friend brought my slight hunch to my attention. Losing weight and fixing my back are part of my plan to better myself.
I looked it up, too, after looking at photographs and videos of myself. I was shocked, and then yesterday my mum saw me getting out of my car and said I need to straighten up. Hope it works.
Best single exercise I've ever seen for this problem. Literally was standing better and straighter after the first time. Didn't believe that was even close to possible, but when I got off the wall I was standing straighter, and continued that way. Will be doing this at least two times a day. Amazing. Thank you!
This is awesome! This exercise worked for me right away! My whole life I've been told to "stand up straight" and "pay attention to my posture and it will improve". I knew there had to be an exercise that would strengthen my muscles and naturally improve my posture without me having to be thinking about it all the time. I had the intention to improve my posture and soon enough your video popped up on my app. This is a simple exercise and a small investment to make that makes all the difference on our appearance and even on our self esteem. From the first time I did it (for 3 minutes) I could feel my chest opening up and lifting! I've noticed that my shoulders are not hunched and my posture is GREAT without me having to worry about it! In fact, I tend to now straighten out often as though my muscles demanded it. I have done yoga for years and that was not sufficient to provide this effect. I'm writing this today because I want to thank you and let you know that I view this exercise as one of my Christmas gifts to me. Thank you so much!
BAT T I describe above that from the start I could feel my chest and shoulders opening up and sort of forcing me to straighten my posture. In the video he says it is not easy for everyone to get to the effective exercise position right away. Good Luck!
Can u tell me how old u r I’m 58 yrs old and my posture has been bad since I was a teenager I too was told to stand up straight but didn’t listen now I am in pin from it everyday so do u think it would still work for me at my age
Can u tell me if this exercise would still work at my age of 58 I was told to stand up straight was I was a teenager but I didn’t listen now it’s been causing me pain everyday for years now, I would definitely try this if u can honestly tell me it’s not to late for me. I purchased the posture pump for my neck and back I’ve been using both of them for about 2 weeks now I really need to correct this it’s taken over my quality of life.
This is amazing. I've been having cramped and painful shoulders for about 10 years. The pain usually isn't that bad, but it's always there. I just got used to it. Now I've been doing this for a few days and the pain is almost gone. My shoulders haven't felt this good in 10 years. Thank you soooo much!
I really appreciate people like this who take time out of their lives to make very informative and helpful videos like this... I know some might argue and say that they make videos to "make money for creating UA-cam content" but they can choose to create any type of content they want it doesn't have to be informative helpful content like this it could be ridiculous videos like watching them play an online game or some other worthless useless activity but they choose to make content that is going to be helpful and possibly change people's lives for the better ..
I found this video bc everyone at my school kinda told me I have the worst posture they have all ever seen and that no chiropractor could fix my back. Real great guys.
I've watched several practitioners presenting this sort of posture correcting excercises - YOU are the most watchable : ) Not too much talk, a sense of humor, clear instructions for everyday people and graciously not all about you. I will definitely share this and wish you all the best.
This excersise is amazing. I have been hunching over for ages, and I've tried so many stretches and changes to my posture and nothing worked. I've tried this for thw first time and already feel im standing up straighter. God bless you man!
I did this while listening to the video again just to make sure I got everything. I looked in the mirror afterwards just to see if it did anything on the first try and OH MY GOSH! it's amazing, my shoulders are sitting about half way closer to where they should be! I didn't expect that much improvement on my first try! And like you said it's much easier to try to stand up right! Thank you so much for the tip!!!!!
Thank you. I’m in my mid 60’s and having spent 40+ years in jobs that involved sitting at a desk and on phones and I have a really bad posture so I shall start doing this from today. Appreciate you taking the time to post it on UA-cam. Kind regards
I just want to say thank you for not giving up. 10 years of back pain and finally found someone to help. I knew my muscles were responsible but didnt have a club where to start. First 100$ i make im getting your program !
Just wanted to say thanks - I’ve been trying to fix my posture for months now and this video really really helped! The effects were almost immediate for me after a three minute session :)
Wow. Thank you. So simple yet extremely effective. I suffered an injury to my back where I landed on the thoracic and upper spine . Took 50 days to recover and and 2 weeks later my back and lower limbs were neurologically sensitive. At my worse it took me 45 mins , with a cane, to walk a quarter of a mile. At one time I thought I wasn’t going to heal. Therapy,minimal paid meds, and lots of stretching and deciding to revisit scoliosis treatment got me to the point where I could attempt this exercise. Oh what a relief it is. Thanks again.
Totally ! I felt the same only watched three videos and my anxiety was gone..it’s cuz he’s so in detail and such a nice voice, easy listening to him explain things, not too much information and really helpful. Just his overall personality as well.
This method is amazing! I have had severely bad posture for 5 years of my life, and I couldn’t get rid of it no matter how hard I tried. I started doing this method for 10 minutes a day 4 days ago, and I can already notice a significant improvement. It’s easier for me to stand up straight and hold the position for a longer period of time. I also noticed that I am standing up a little bit straighter subconsciously. Thank you!
I’m very happy I found this, in just two days my lower back has returned to a straight back posture, now all I have to worry about is my upper back, this exercise is a life saver
Thanks so much for sharing this information, I am nearly 50 and my desk job has taken its toll on my body. My thoracic spine is stiff and I have constant upper back pain between the shoulder blades. I am keeping everything crossed that I have found a fix! I have just completed my first 3 minutes and boy I felt it. With increasing screen time this is a major challenge for the developed world, I just walk around me office and see the forward head tilt from near enough everyone.
My partner tells me all the time I need to "straighten up". I'm aware of how poor my posture is and I think I've found a solution. I just did three minutes of my lower back flat against the wall. My head is many inches from the wall so I know it's really bad. Thank you for giving me a chance at improving myself.
Theres one proven technique to flatten and straighten your posture do notvuse pillow wgen sleeping at night thats 7 to 8 hours exercise. You can notice the difference in one month.
gonna be back here everyday until i see results! day 1: just found this video, and i’ve had bad posture for a long time, but i’ve been getting a lot of general self-improvement done, so i figured why not fix my posture? my back feels good after it, looking forward to doing it again day 2: i came back. did it again, my back feels good. i’m gonna try sleeping with only one pillow tonight
Well, I have to say, I was a bit skeptical. And that was not easy. But after just one session, you're 100% right, I can feel my posture wanting to fix itself! I will be adding this to my daily routine, a few times a day, as I sit in front of a PC all day for work. Thanks, Matt!
You are so excellent my husband and I are 80 and 81 years old we’re feeling a little bit should I say the exercises feel a little bit daunting but we’re going to try it we would just love if you would address the senior citizens and tell us not to be discouraged I’d love to contribute to your channel so please keep them rolling on the posture because we ain’t looking good right now😛
This absolutely works. I've been a competitive ballroom dancer for decades. I've always suffered from bad posture. In the last few months I've had a neck problem. My physio gave me this exercise. Almost immediately, it sorted my dancing posture. This absolutely works, and I do it for 5 minutes at least, 6 times per day. The presentation here is excellent. My physio told me off at first because I was just tilting my head back . I make a " double chin" , and keep it while getting my head against the wall . I just wish I'd seen this 20 years ago. I'd have done better ! I had lots of lessons from all sorts of professional teachers, but none of them came close to fixing it
Only been a week and a half and already I can now do this exercise. Used to feel slight numbness in my back just below the shoulder blades, this is gone too! Thanks Upright Health
You'll probably not see this but my mom said I was growing a hunchback slowly and slowly over time and i could see it especially since my screen time on my phone displayed 11 hours, so I was searching "How to fix posture" and your video popped up, as I'm typing this I just finished the exercise standing thing you showed us and I already feel lighter and this motivates me to do this everyday and cut my screen time, Thank You!
Dude, out of all the videos I’ve found, yours might be the best efficient one! Even for five minutes I immediately saw and feel a difference! How I eat, drink, talk, everything!! It’s really been debilitating for me so I can’t thank you enough man :)
For everyone wondering if this exercise is worth doing, YES, IT IS! After a week of doing it regularly i got rid of rounded shoulders, and my back is straighter than ever. So stop complaining 'bout your bad posture and do this exercise. You' ll see results in no time.
This is Amazing 🤩🤩 I am doing this I had hunchback had already gone to physiotherapy but to maintain after it was difficult because of my Phone usage and Studies ...Thank you so much this was Revolutionary ❤
Matt. You're a skilled communicator. I live in South America and teach Communication. Your style is relaxed; yet convincing. Congratulations. I've had a lumbar transforaminal epidural steroid injection and it's challenging not to lean forward.
Wow, this is definitely harder than I thought it would be! I really feel it in the mid-back, and I feel like I cannot tuck my chin enough. Gonna keep it up, for sure! A straighter posture not only makes you taller, it makes you look more confident, too! The hunched over look is definitely not a good look! Thanks for the video!
@@lajosrab4734 Much, much better. I still do this a couple of times a week in the morning. At first I had trouble staying in it for 30 second or so but it got easier fast. After the targeted muscles got strong enough, it wasn't hard to keep a good posture like it was before finding this excercise. Just keep at it and it will make a difference.
@@onana947 Around 2-3 weeks, if I remember correctly. It's not a silver bullet that will fix everything just by itself. You need to also make a conscious effort to keep an upright posture which will also get easier with time. Good luck!
i tried it for the first time tonight and i’m telling you i didn’t know my upper back and neck could feel like this. it felt amazing the first time i did it.
Hello, thank you very much, teacher ❤❤❤ Unfortunately, I have a humpback problem and I suffer a lot from this problem, we are always ridiculed by friends and acquaintances... A friend introduced you to me, now I want to go with your program from today In about a month, if I regain my health, I will thank you very much❤❤❤😢
Simple, straightforward and easy to remember. I have watched a few exercises but they feels overly complicated. This is probably the only one i will remember and try it.
Didn’t realize how weak my middle back muscles were until I tried this exercise for the first time. They were feeling sore and fatigued soon after I started. Definitely going to keep doing this just to at least strengthen my back
This is really awesome, the first time I do this and my traps and mid back feel way less tight. Also able to turn my neck around further, gonna keep doing this when I wake up and before I go to bed, thanks!
This video is a gem; not only for the content but also for the way it´s been explained (considering I´m not an English native). Thanks for that clear tune and message. New subscriber over here
I love this! Thanks Matt for providing such simple yet effective techniques. Often don't even notice that am "slumping" while sitting or standing... but if I catch a glimpse of myself in a mirror or window, I can clearly see it. I am a guitar player ("classical nylon string") and I know I slouch doing that too. I want to see if I can improve my "playing posture" using this technique as well. Update: Well, I've been working on this for about 11 days now... Doing at least two 3.5 minute sessions every day. While I still can't touch the back of my head to the wall, I'm slowly getting closer. The biggest improvement I seeing (actully "feeling") is when am away from the wall and simply walking or standing, I'm beginning to get a sense of what my posture is doing and can feel when I'm close to getting it right. And that feeling is a good and positive one. So I'll keep working on it. I'm hoping that after a couple more weeks, I can actually begin to touch my head to the wall (without "cheating") but I'm not going to lock myself into an absolute time frame. I'll get there when I get there but will be happy to feel the progress in improved posture.
Dear Sir, thanks for sharing this lovely exercise. It looks very easy when you demonstrate but it's really tough to perform. Anyways, I shall continue doing it till I get rid of my stiff and hunch back. One more point Sir. Your commentry and presentation style is absolutely fantastic. It's a pleasure to listen to you. Best regards Girish
This felt incredible. On my first try I really felt all my muscles working, they stretched and I actually had trouble breathing, probably because my torso was in the right position in front after years of being without any work. I will try to do this multiple times every day because its getting critical with my back and people are making uncomfortable comments about my posture.
@@oolala53 I was doing it for like a month and actually felt that I am walking more straight up. I have stoped like with all the other exercises and now I am trying to start doing it again becuase I feel that I am back where I started and I feel bad about it. But it probably depends on your own will. Good luck if you start!
Great video! There is also a slight variation on this. As you lean against the wall raise your arms up above your head and take your hands/knuckles and put them against the wall . That will further strengthen and pull the back muscles. This is from a different video I learned from UA-cam. Thanks.
Matt, Thank you so much for your patience and thoroughness in getting this Kyphosis correction information out there. I ve been researching exercises for my Mom's posture for over a year, and I was often met with rolling eyes and "daughter annoying me" resistance. I mentioned looking 15 years younger when she straightened her posture, and then showed her your video and VOILA!!! Motivation and cooperation...thank you for your wonderful presentation, keeping it simple and empathetic. So appreciated :)
Thank you. Just tried this and honestly, it was tough. Made is 2.17 minutes only. Had to keep reminding myself to push my lower back against the wall, shoulders back, chin down a bit...Could definitely feel the muscles wondering what the heck was going on.
This is amazing. Thank you so much. I have Meniere's which makes me feel like I need to look at the floor when I'm walking, and had become so round shouldered and slightly hunched.. computer work doesn't help. I've only been doing this for a few days but my posture has improved immensely and it's easier to breathe , somehow. You are a star.
Alright I just thought I'd comment this because I'm amazed. I've had a bump on the back of my neck due to bad forward head posture for about 2 years and I was insecure about it. So I tried this exercise for 3 minutes straight and I noticed my shoulders were in the proper position. I went to the bathroom to look and my bump was completely gone. I will be doing this daily to keep my posture. That's one less insecurity to worry about. :)
I've always been told that i walk like someone that's been starving for 2weeks and I've been that eversl since, tried many workouts but didn't work, but then i tried yours and i was fix in days
I just tried doing this exercise and the immediate effect I can feel is actually insane, I stand much more upright! This is probably very short term and as my muscles relax again I will slouch a bit more again, but for now it's a very similar feeling to when you stand in a doorway and push your arms towards the outside against the frame of the door. When you do that for a minute and then step out of the doorway, your arms will feel like they're levitating so I think this is a similar effect now :D Can definitely see this make long term improvements for my posture though, thanks a lot!
This is the most effective way for correcting Posture. I have been doing for a week and i see a huge difference now. Absolutely helpful. Many thanks from Somalia.
Thank you so much for your videos. I'm getting stronger & feeling better thanks to your wonderful & compassionate video exercises. It would have cost me too much to go to a Physical Therapy facility to correct my muscular flaws. I found a sturdy chair in the dumpster that a remodeling restaurant threw out! Almost as good as the walls you lean against. You are awesome for helping us.
I'm going to do this twice a day for 3 months, taking a photo every day as well. I'll reply to this comment weekly with updates. At the end of the 3 months, I'll put the photos together to make a timelapse video, which I will post on my youtube channel. edit: video's out on my channel, there haven't been any changes. I think that it's because i spent the rest of the day in front of the computer. If you are gonna do these exercises, make sure to also keep good posture throughout the day or something.
1st Week: The pain I would feel right after doing this has stopped after the third day. Other than that, I don't feel much change (But to be honest I've only done it once a day, not twice like I said so). From now on I'll try to do some wall angels and some other exercises along with this.
@@inexplicabro by the way do you put ur lower and upper back flat through the wall? And do your shoulders touch the wall or not cuz I'm struggling with that
@@YasmineAsaadd My lower and upper back do touch the wall. My shoulders are rounded so they don't exactly touch the wall properly, but I lift them and kinda do wall angels to make them touch the wall, but I don't think that's necessary as in the video he doesn't specify that the shoulders need to touch the wall.
If this will fix both the neck posture and the curve of the back i am starting it today! Edit: so it’s been a week now I haven’t noticed that much of change on my back but i feel maybe my neck has gotten a bit( really small) better
amazing exercise, I just started doing this exercise and I already can feel the muscles are working, I am suffering from hunch back and possible scoliosis.
Holy mackerel! This is incredible!! My back/posture felt immediate results. Can’t wait to make it become part of my daily routine. Thank you for sharing this video!!!
Tried this exercise, my 1st time and saw immidiate results! Years of having a hunchback gone!! Im on day 3 now and walking straight up it feels amazing!
Thank you so much for your great explanation and useful tips! It is so helpful that you include 'mistakes', for correction if needed! For someone like me it's essential to understand what not to do. So very useful!! 😊
when i first started i could definitely feel it, working a little but because of my bad habits its really keeping me back ( slouching on chairs) for example. Really gotta work on fixing these problems aswell if im to really help myself
Two days in and I'm still unable to touch the wall with my head...I was more forward than I thought! I'm amazed at the change in my posture already though. Thank you very much for sharing...3yrs ago!
I was prepared to scoff at this until I tried and then heard the snap, crackle, pop in my neck and upper back. This is fantastic!!! No more computer back for me. My wife and girlfriend will be very happy. 😂
WHOA. Just tried this for the first time, could really feel my back and core working - and when I stepped away from the wall, the world seemed so far away! Because my head was several centimeters further back than it usually is. Definitely gonna keep going!
I removed my Rembrandt originals from my wall to try this. Very useful! If you do this right, you can certainly feel those muscles along the spine lengthening along the back of your neck. So fancy...
I have the velvet Rembrandt with the bull dogs shooting pool.Perhaps his most favorite work as the guy at the flea market said as he sold it to me. I only paid 25 k for this but I’m sure will be worth millions soon.
Thank you, thank you! This is me, but I didn't even know this was me to the extent it was until I tried an 'exercise', and realized I could NOT do it to save my life. My head was indeed looking up. I have such bad forward posture. My cervical spine has no curve at all, and I can't stand straight up, like at the sink to wash dishes etc due to back pain, and just not being used to having correct posture. I will be patient and keep working on this. I had no idea this was a thing! Perfect video for me! :)
You gave me the motivation and the tools to fix my posture. I’ve been working on it for a month now and I’ve gotten to the point where I can hold good posture, now I just have to make it my resting postion. My dad would tell me to stand up straight, but what does that mean? Now I know, you are the chad king my brother.
Just did it for the first time it really hurt my chin to pull it in and was a little hard swallowing but even doing it once improved the tiniest bit, hope it works!!
I am sitting on the computer for 9-12 hours a day purely gaming and I've noticed that my posture has gotten worse over time. I am starting the exercise tomorrow and I'll be doing it for 1 month. I'll make sure to update every week. Update 1: So, the first week passed. The first 2 days were pretty hard. My back muscles, traps and triceps were pretty sore, but now I am pretty comfortable doing it. Also, I feel that I am standing much straighter. Looking forward to week 2.
@@blank7940 Unfortunately I forgot to update on week 2 and week 3, but I managed to do the exercises for the whole month. After week 1 my back was really sore because I was doing the exercises 2 times a day, but I wanted to slow things down for the second week so I did them only once per day. After the second week passed I decided to do them twice a day again but this time there was little to no soreness. Only on week 3 I felt my posture was better and I was standing straighter. I also improved my sitting posture. Now it feels natural to me to have my feet flat on the ground and my back being straight. Week 4 was a breeze.
I improved my posture very quickly it’s simple. Close your mouth, breath in and out through your nose, your tongue will got to the roof of your mouth your posture will improve with no exercise, it worked for me very quickly.
Small brains: Do this exercise twice a day. Big brains: Get a tall table and keep working in the computer maintaining this posture for 8-9 hours per day.
If you need this exercise, you won't be able to maintain it for 8 to 9 hours a day. The idea is to do it twice a day so that you're able to maintain good posture all the time as you strengthen the muscles, whether you're sitting or standing, and without the benefit of a wall behind you.
It seems like almost every UA-cam expert has different recommendations on how to and how not to treat this problem. How is the layperson to know which to follow?
I greatly appreciate this video. Love it. Since I was a kid, I've walked with my head down and I would always get told "chin up!" OR some variation. Now I have this noticeable hump in my upper back where my shoulder blades seem to curve out and I'm always self conscious about it. Glad it kould be rectified.
Wow!! I feel so much better after doing it for the first time. I really felt the back muscles working and when I got out of the pose, I was standing so much straighter. I will definitely be doing this on a regular basis! Thumbs up x 1,000,000

This excersise is amazing. I have been hunching over for ages, and I've tried so many stretches and changes to my posture and nothing worked. I've tried this for thw first time and already feel im standing up straighter. God bless you man!
Guys, you NEED to make sure it's a blank beautiful wall or it DOES NOT work!
ll_Extremely stressed_ll can confirm, I tried it on a ugly wall and i have scoliosis now
Is it a joke or r u guys fr cuz I need too know
@@shafiakhatun531 just a joke 😂 all you need is a plain straight wall, the one with no bumps or whatever
😂😂
@@hola7520 I ain't got those types of fancy walls! :(
I did this while listening to the video again just to make sure I got everything. I looked in the mirror afterwards just to see if it did anything on the first try and OH MY GOSH! it's amazing, my shoulders are sitting about half way closer to where they should be! I didn't expect that much improvement on my first try! And like you said it's much easier to try to stand up right! Thank you so much for the tip!!!!!

Thank you. I’m in my mid 60’s and having spent 40+ years in jobs that involved sitting at a desk and on phones and I have a really bad posture so I shall start doing this from today. Appreciate you taking the time to post it on UA-cam. Kind regards
I just want to say thank you for not giving up. 10 years of back pain and finally found someone to help. I knew my muscles were responsible but didnt have a club where to start. First 100$ i make im getting your program !
What if I dont have a beautiful piece of wall
ugly walls work too
Then you no fancy.
I feel so bad for you,may God bless your soul.
I think you don't have common sense
@@bhushantaydepatil8639 and I think your dumb enough to think I was serious
“Beautiful piece of wall” -subscribed because of this. Thanks for sharing
Jax haha
Wall goals.
Just wanted to say thanks - I’ve been trying to fix my posture for months now and this video really really helped! The effects were almost immediate for me after a three minute session :)
Wow. Thank you. So simple yet extremely effective. I suffered an injury to my back where I landed on the thoracic and upper spine . Took 50 days to recover and and 2 weeks later my back and lower limbs were neurologically sensitive. At my worse it took me 45 mins , with a cane, to walk a quarter of a mile. At one time I thought I wasn’t going to heal. Therapy,minimal paid meds, and lots of stretching and deciding to revisit scoliosis treatment got me to the point where I could attempt this exercise. Oh what a relief it is. Thanks again.
This dude is so chill watching this cured my anxiety
Totally ! I felt the same only watched three videos and my anxiety was gone..it’s cuz he’s so in detail and such a nice voice, easy listening to him explain things, not too much information and really helpful. Just his overall personality as well.
0:18 I thought that was something quite different for a second!
I thought I was the only one who saw it.....and started scrolling the comments to check if another person saw it
i had to go back like three time to clarify what i was seeing
what is that???
Lol
😂😂😂
This method is amazing!
I have had severely bad posture for 5 years of my life, and I couldn’t get rid of it no matter how hard I tried. I started doing this method for 10 minutes a day 4 days ago, and I can already notice a significant improvement. It’s easier for me to stand up straight and hold the position for a longer period of time. I also noticed that I am standing up a little bit straighter subconsciously.
Thank you!
That's beautiful. It's about conditioning the mind and body and you are putting in the work and getting the benefits
I’m very happy I found this, in just two days my lower back has returned to a straight back posture, now all I have to worry about is my upper back, this exercise is a life saver
Thanks so much for sharing this information, I am nearly 50 and my desk job has taken its toll on my body. My thoracic spine is stiff and I have constant upper back pain between the shoulder blades. I am keeping everything crossed that I have found a fix! I have just completed my first 3 minutes and boy I felt it. With increasing screen time this is a major challenge for the developed world, I just walk around me office and see the forward head tilt from near enough everyone.
My partner tells me all the time I need to "straighten up".
I'm aware of how poor my posture is and I think I've found a solution.
I just did three minutes of my lower back flat against the wall.
My head is many inches from the wall so I know it's really bad.
Thank you for giving me a chance at improving myself.
Thank you for this training style man. You are honest and friendly without ego i think. Good job respect !
Theres one proven technique to flatten and straighten your posture do notvuse pillow wgen sleeping at night thats 7 to 8 hours exercise. You can notice the difference in one month.
No gym no pill no sweat no wasted time
@@edlopez4797 did it work for u?
@Evo Courses This is such a pathetic way of thinking.
gonna be back here everyday until i see results!
day 1: just found this video, and i’ve had bad posture for a long time, but i’ve been getting a lot of general self-improvement done, so i figured why not fix my posture? my back feels good after it, looking forward to doing it again
day 2: i came back. did it again, my back feels good. i’m gonna try sleeping with only one pillow tonight
Hey what are your redults,why you stoped writting
@@ignited8074 how is it going
Well, I have to say, I was a bit skeptical. And that was not easy. But after just one session, you're 100% right, I can feel my posture wanting to fix itself! I will be adding this to my daily routine, a few times a day, as I sit in front of a PC all day for work.
Thanks, Matt!
You are so excellent my husband and I are 80 and 81 years old we’re feeling a little bit should I say the exercises feel a little bit daunting but we’re going to try it we would just love if you would address the senior citizens and tell us not to be discouraged I’d love to contribute to your channel so please keep them rolling on the posture because we ain’t looking good right now😛
This absolutely works. I've been a competitive ballroom dancer for decades. I've always suffered from bad posture. In the last few months I've had a neck problem. My physio gave me this exercise. Almost immediately, it sorted my dancing posture. This absolutely works, and I do it for 5 minutes at least, 6 times per day. The presentation here is excellent. My physio told me off at first because I was just tilting my head back . I make a " double chin" , and keep it while getting my head against the wall .
I just wish I'd seen this 20 years ago. I'd have done better ! I had lots of lessons from all sorts of professional teachers, but none of them came close to fixing it
Only been a week and a half and already I can now do this exercise. Used to feel slight numbness in my back just below the shoulder blades, this is gone too! Thanks Upright Health
He was right about what he said when u lift off the wall. I feel like I'm stuck in the perfect posture. 😌
THIS exercise is by far, the BEST I’ve ever seen, and tried. Thank you! ⚓️

You'll probably not see this but my mom said I was growing a hunchback slowly and slowly over time and i could see it especially since my screen time on my phone displayed 11 hours, so I was searching "How to fix posture" and your video popped up, as I'm typing this I just finished the exercise standing thing you showed us and I already feel lighter and this motivates me to do this everyday and cut my screen time, Thank You!
Dude, out of all the videos I’ve found, yours might be the best efficient one! Even for five minutes I immediately saw and feel a difference! How I eat, drink, talk, everything!! It’s really been debilitating for me so I can’t thank you enough man :)
Sav Pal how is it after 1 year? Did it make a big difference? Thanks.
For everyone wondering if this exercise is worth doing, YES, IT IS! After a week of doing it regularly i got rid of rounded shoulders, and my back is straighter than ever. So stop complaining 'bout your bad posture and do this exercise. You' ll see results in no time.
@@Vankyy update?

Step number 1: Play good, 3-4 minute song

You seem like a really nice guy, I like your voice and style of videos.
This is Amazing 🤩🤩 I am doing this I had hunchback had already gone to physiotherapy but to maintain after it was difficult because of my Phone usage and Studies ...Thank you so much this was Revolutionary ❤
Matt. You're a skilled communicator. I live in South America and teach Communication. Your style is relaxed; yet convincing. Congratulations. I've had a lumbar transforaminal epidural steroid injection and it's challenging not to lean forward.
Wow, this is definitely harder than I thought it would be! I really feel it in the mid-back, and I feel like I cannot tuck my chin enough. Gonna keep it up, for sure! A straighter posture not only makes you taller, it makes you look more confident, too! The hunched over look is definitely not a good look! Thanks for the video!

I've been doing this for 4 days now and I can already see progress! Thank you so much!
How is it now?
@@lajosrab4734 Much, much better. I still do this a couple of times a week in the morning. At first I had trouble staying in it for 30 second or so but it got easier fast. After the targeted muscles got strong enough, it wasn't hard to keep a good posture like it was before finding this excercise.
Just keep at it and it will make a difference.
@@reallyeffingcooltechnodudehow much time did it take you to significantly reduce your hunchback?
@@onana947 Around 2-3 weeks, if I remember correctly. It's not a silver bullet that will fix everything just by itself. You need to also make a conscious effort to keep an upright posture which will also get easier with time. Good luck!
i tried it for the first time tonight and i’m telling you i didn’t know my upper back and neck could feel like this. it felt amazing the first time i did it.

Hello, thank you very much, teacher ❤❤❤
Unfortunately, I have a humpback problem and I suffer a lot from this problem, we are always ridiculed by friends and acquaintances...
A friend introduced you to me, now I want to go with your program from today In about a month, if I regain my health, I will thank you very much❤❤❤😢
Simple, straightforward and easy to remember. I have watched a few exercises but they feels overly complicated. This is probably the only one i will remember and try it.
Didn’t realize how weak my middle back muscles were until I tried this exercise for the first time. They were feeling sore and fatigued soon after I started. Definitely going to keep doing this just to at least strengthen my back
I did it my first time today, and it actually felt better afterwards
This is really awesome, the first time I do this and my traps and mid back feel way less tight. Also able to turn my neck around further, gonna keep doing this when I wake up and before I go to bed, thanks!
Did iy work
This video is a gem; not only for the content but also for the way it´s been explained (considering I´m not an English native). Thanks for that clear tune and message. New subscriber over here
Anyone who does a quantillion health related videos for 6+ years deserves my subscription. I will be working on my slouch.
I love this! Thanks Matt for providing such simple yet effective techniques.
Often don't even notice that am "slumping" while sitting or standing... but if I catch a glimpse of myself in a mirror or window, I can clearly see it.
I am a guitar player ("classical nylon string") and I know I slouch doing that too. I want to see if I can improve my "playing posture" using this technique as well.
Update:
Well, I've been working on this for about 11 days now... Doing at least two 3.5 minute sessions every day. While I still can't touch the back of my head to the wall, I'm slowly getting closer. The biggest improvement I seeing (actully "feeling") is when am away from the wall and simply walking or standing, I'm beginning to get a sense of what my posture is doing and can feel when I'm close to getting it right. And that feeling is a good and positive one. So I'll keep working on it. I'm hoping that after a couple more weeks, I can actually begin to touch my head to the wall (without "cheating") but I'm not going to lock myself into an absolute time frame. I'll get there when I get there but will be happy to feel the progress in improved posture.
Dear Sir, thanks for sharing this lovely exercise.
It looks very easy when you demonstrate but it's really tough to perform. Anyways, I shall continue doing it till I get rid of my stiff and hunch back.
One more point Sir.
Your commentry and presentation style is absolutely fantastic.
It's a pleasure to listen to you.
Best regards
Girish
This felt incredible. On my first try I really felt all my muscles working, they stretched and I actually had trouble breathing, probably because my torso was in the right position in front after years of being without any work. I will try to do this multiple times every day because its getting critical with my back and people are making uncomfortable comments about my posture.
Did you get past the initial excitement and keep at it?
@@oolala53 I was doing it for like a month and actually felt that I am walking more straight up. I have stoped like with all the other exercises and now I am trying to start doing it again becuase I feel that I am back where I started and I feel bad about it. But it probably depends on your own will. Good luck if you start!
Great video! There is also a slight variation on this. As you lean against the wall raise your arms up above your head and take your hands/knuckles and put them against the wall . That will further strengthen and pull the back muscles. This is from a different video I learned from UA-cam. Thanks.
Do you have a link for that video?
Could really feel everything tensing when i first started but now i dont feel it and my posture is looking good.. Big thank you brother.. 🙏
Matt, Thank you so much for your patience and thoroughness in getting this Kyphosis correction information out there. I ve been researching exercises for my Mom's posture for over a year, and I was often met with rolling eyes and "daughter annoying me" resistance. I mentioned looking 15 years younger when she straightened her posture, and then showed her your video and VOILA!!! Motivation and cooperation...thank you for your wonderful presentation, keeping it simple and empathetic. So appreciated :)
I’ve been started this workout since 2 month ago and It really works.thank you so much
Thank you. Just tried this and honestly, it was tough. Made is 2.17 minutes only. Had to keep reminding myself to push my lower back against the wall, shoulders back, chin down a bit...Could definitely feel the muscles wondering what the heck was going on.
This is amazing. Thank you so much. I have Meniere's which makes me feel like I need to look at the floor when I'm walking, and had become so round shouldered and slightly hunched.. computer work doesn't help. I've only been doing this for a few days but my posture has improved immensely and it's easier to breathe , somehow. You are a star.
Alright I just thought I'd comment this because I'm amazed. I've had a bump on the back of my neck due to bad forward head posture for about 2 years and I was insecure about it. So I tried this exercise for 3 minutes straight and I noticed my shoulders were in the proper position. I went to the bathroom to look and my bump was completely gone. I will be doing this daily to keep my posture. That's one less insecurity to worry about. :)
I've always been told that i walk like someone that's been starving for 2weeks and I've been that eversl since, tried many workouts but didn't work, but then i tried yours and i was fix in days
I just tried doing this exercise and the immediate effect I can feel is actually insane, I stand much more upright! This is probably very short term and as my muscles relax again I will slouch a bit more again, but for now it's a very similar feeling to when you stand in a doorway and push your arms towards the outside against the frame of the door. When you do that for a minute and then step out of the doorway, your arms will feel like they're levitating so I think this is a similar effect now :D Can definitely see this make long term improvements for my posture though, thanks a lot!
hey man how is your posture
Me: damn I wish I had better posture

Did it work for you
@@minaalgeria5688 it should in some months
This is the most effective way for correcting Posture. I have been doing for a week and i see a huge difference now. Absolutely helpful. Many thanks from Somalia.
Thank you so much for your videos. I'm getting stronger & feeling better thanks to your wonderful & compassionate video exercises. It would have cost me too much to go to a Physical Therapy facility to correct my muscular flaws. I found a sturdy chair in the dumpster that a remodeling restaurant threw out! Almost as good as the walls you lean against. You are awesome for helping us.
I'm going to do this twice a day for 3 months, taking a photo every day as well. I'll reply to this comment weekly with updates. At the end of the 3 months, I'll put the photos together to make a timelapse video, which I will post on my youtube channel.
edit: video's out on my channel, there haven't been any changes. I think that it's because i spent the rest of the day in front of the computer. If you are gonna do these exercises, make sure to also keep good posture throughout the day or something.
1st Week: The pain I would feel right after doing this has stopped after the third day. Other than that, I don't feel much change (But to be honest I've only done it once a day, not twice like I said so). From now on I'll try to do some wall angels and some other exercises along with this.
Yall never update til the end
@@YasmineAsaadd Let's see.
@@inexplicabro by the way do you put ur lower and upper back flat through the wall? And do your shoulders touch the wall or not cuz I'm struggling with that
@@YasmineAsaadd My lower and upper back do touch the wall. My shoulders are rounded so they don't exactly touch the wall properly, but I lift them and kinda do wall angels to make them touch the wall, but I don't think that's necessary as in the video he doesn't specify that the shoulders need to touch the wall.
If this will fix both the neck posture and the curve of the back i am starting it today!
Edit: so it’s been a week now I haven’t noticed that much of change on my back but i feel maybe my neck has gotten a bit( really small) better
How's it going after 7 months?
Umm it’s been 11 months so how’s it been ?
Pretty good exercise! Tried it once and can already feel a difference. Thanks a lot!
amazing exercise, I just started doing this exercise and I already can feel the muscles are working, I am suffering from hunch back and possible scoliosis.

WHOA. Just tried this for the first time, could really feel my back and core working - and when I stepped away from the wall, the world seemed so far away! Because my head was several centimeters further back than it usually is.
Definitely gonna keep going!
I removed my Rembrandt originals from my wall to try this. Very useful!
If you do this right, you can certainly feel those muscles along the spine lengthening along the back of your neck.

I have the velvet Rembrandt with the bull dogs shooting pool.Perhaps his most favorite work as the guy at the flea market said as he sold it to me. I only paid 25 k for this but I’m sure will be worth millions soon.
Thank you, thank you! This is me, but I didn't even know this was me to the extent it was until I tried an 'exercise', and realized I could NOT do it to save my life. My head was indeed looking up. I have such bad forward posture. My cervical spine has no curve at all, and I can't stand straight up, like at the sink to wash dishes etc due to back pain, and just not being used to having correct posture. I will be patient and keep working on this. I had no idea this was a thing! Perfect video for me! :)
You gave me the motivation and the tools to fix my posture. I’ve been working on it for a month now and I’ve gotten to the point where I can hold good posture, now I just have to make it my resting postion. My dad would tell me to stand up straight, but what does that mean? Now I know, you are the chad king my brother.
Just did it for the first time it really hurt my chin to pull it in and was a little hard swallowing but even doing it once improved the tiniest bit, hope it works!!

I am sitting on the computer for 9-12 hours a day purely gaming and I've noticed that my posture has gotten worse over time. I am starting the exercise tomorrow and I'll be doing it for 1 month. I'll make sure to update every week.
Update 1: So, the first week passed. The first 2 days were pretty hard. My back muscles, traps and triceps were pretty sore, but now I am pretty comfortable doing it. Also, I feel that I am standing much straighter. Looking forward to week 2.
update?
@@blank7940 Unfortunately I forgot to update on week 2 and week 3, but I managed to do the exercises for the whole month. After week 1 my back was really sore because I was doing the exercises 2 times a day, but I wanted to slow things down for the second week so I did them only once per day. After the second week passed I decided to do them twice a day again but this time there was little to no soreness. Only on week 3 I felt my posture was better and I was standing straighter. I also improved my sitting posture. Now it feels natural to me to have my feet flat on the ground and my back being straight. Week 4 was a breeze.

This was the best video I have seen on posture. Thank you so much. I love your kind reassuring personality.
Small brains: Do this exercise twice a day.
Big brains: Get a tall table and keep working in the computer maintaining this posture for 8-9 hours per day.

@@cheekypuzzle808 i dont have legs for a tall table

If you need this exercise, you won't be able to maintain it for 8 to 9 hours a day. The idea is to do it twice a day so that you're able to maintain good posture all the time as you strengthen the muscles, whether you're sitting or standing, and without the benefit of a wall behind you.
Really enjoying the onslaught of tension headaches that come from this stretch.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It seems like almost every UA-cam expert has different recommendations on how to and how not to treat this problem. How is the layperson to know which to follow?
I am getting better. It's been a week and I can feel my posture is improving. Thank you
I greatly appreciate this video. Love it. Since I was a kid, I've walked with my head down and I would always get told "chin up!" OR some variation. Now I have this noticeable hump in my upper back where my shoulder blades seem to curve out and I'm always self conscious about it. Glad it kould be rectified.
It's been 3 minutes since I watched this video and I'm still not noticing any change.
NimW - I think you have to watch the video 3 minutes per day to take effect. 😂
