Me, slumped forward watching this video on my phone: "Interesting..."
:)
😂🤣
Fr 😂😂😂
@@drjonsaunders thank you for helping me not look like a dinosaur.
@@TheChristianRace 😂 Never thought of it that way 😂
I had to sleep like this after a bilateral mastectomy. I’m used to it now and I don’t have the back and neck pain I used to! I’m now cancer free too! 💪🏽💕
Happy to hear! :)
Thank God
Excellent!
I’m so glad to hear that you’re cancer free!
that’s actually great 🐐
This man de-spined a man to help up fix our posture. What a legend🙏🏻
😀
Can you get head pressure while standing from a neck hump I'm a 16 year old and I have had this hump since few years but I do get a bit of relief when I do few exercises for neck hump but i dont do it all the time
Wait till you see what happens to babies when they get de-livered
I tried this for 3 nights now. I had difficulty breathing and no doctor found the problem. It almost fixed the problem in one night! I can’t believe it! Thank you so much! 🙏🏼
Glad to hear it! :)
Same!!!! It took me 2 nights but I feel my posture is much better. It's a good start for me cause i wanted to go back into workout
How do you sleep without turning from side to side? @@failspencer4501
Omg I just found out why I have difficulty breathing....today I climbed up a hill and I was feeling like I'd collapse
I had a really bad neck hump, after 3 years of stretching it's completely gone, and I've been doing yoga too so it definitely does work 🤩
Thanks for sharing!!
What types of stretches and yoga would you do if you don’t mind giving an example or two. I am very you (21) and I’ve always had bad posture and I want to know how to fix it.
3 years is 3 too many 🥲
@@drjonsaunders wish i could afford a chiropractor :/ rent so expensive
What stretching and yoga do you do??
I am a 67 year old physician with poor posture. I started doing this recently and have truly seen significant improvement. It was a little difficult to change the way I was use to sleeping, but hang in there. My neck feels much better in the morning now and my posture has visible improved! Not just a little; a lot. Thank you Dr. Saunders, this was a big help to me.
Glad you enjoyed my video...take care! :)
I watched this video this night. After I positioned my pillow it took about two hours until my spine did some fleshy, wet cracks and I fell asleep. This morning I woke up and did feel way less tention and pain and after just 7 hours I am as well rested as I have not been In years. Thank you so much! ❤
Great, thanks for sharing!
I'm going to try it
Question : HOW do you keep your body from turning on to your side???? Thank you. @drjonsaunders
I'll try it today
ml@@drjonsaunders
Watching this while on my bed and I immediately changed the position of my pillow 😂 it feels much better!
Nice!
I do a lot of back workouts at the gym, and lots of stretching in my upper back at home. 2 months later my hump is much smaller!! I’ll be incorporating this too!
Great, best of luck.
Please please list what other exercises you do I’m so insecure about mine. 😭
What gym workouts do you do for your hump??
@@RinaldoMcdonaldo same!!
@@brileysmitherman1732 me too 😓
I started noticing my neck staring to curve like this and I started sleeping without a pillow. It's been a few months now and it's been great! Helped my posture a lot, and no more back pain when waking up :)
Excellent!
@@drjonsaunders Should a person sleep with a pillow under the knees?
@@csmitchell2227 yeah
@@Praise- Thanks!
@@shadow4040 do like he said in the video. Slowly work your way to a thinner pillow then to none.
i don’t have a bad hump, but it’s still noticeable and uncomfortable. i’m trying this for the first time and i can already feel it getting better. thank you for this and the stretches too!!
Thanks for watching!
What are the stretches? I have a bit of a bump and it annoyed me… it’s kinda ugly. How long did it take you to feel that your posture got a little better with the new sleeping position ? 🙏
Just try it if you really wanna know visit your Nearest crayopractor whatever he said 😂😂😂 he will tell based on your hump @@user-bt2ji5su1m
By the first "he" i meant the maker of this video and the second "he" is the name of the doctor whatever that was
I know this is an older video but after 20yrs of looking in a microscope and working at a computer its definitely what I need. I was always a back sleeper except for the last 10yrs or so and now I realize why. Thank you Dr I'll be trying this tonight and am going to add these stretches as part of my pre workout routine.
Good luck!
Dr. Saunders, your determination to respond to comments after a year later truly shows your care for people as a doctor. I just wanted to say thank you because not everyone who works in this field has this amount of persistence. I respect you and commend you at the highest.
Thank you for your kind words. :)
@@drjonsaunders thanks a lot doctor
Exactly what I was thinking- Thanks Doc! Had my husband's PCP been as dedicated, he would still be alive rather than bleeding out from a giant D. Ulcer. All Drs should be as mindful as you are, sir!
This dude: you MUST sleep on your back.
My sleep paralysis demons: yes. Excellent.
😴 Try to focus on the exercises/stretches in part 1, 2 and 3 if sleeping on your back isn't possible...thanks for watching.
@@drjonsaunders aw thanks for replying. I'll do that for sure! 👍
Omg SAME. If I am having a rough day or get a feeling sleep paralysis is gonna come up, I won’t sleep on my back. I’ll sleep in my cocooned safe position that I can feel as comfortable as possible in if sleep paralysis comes. I will say my sleep paralysis frequently has dropped a lot over the past 2 years though. I did start laying on my back before the sleep paralysis slowed down and it just took a lot of courage and being okay with being scared. I send you so much love!! I know it’s FREAKY!!
LMFAO this is the best position to also astral project haha
@@lemmesay put cocoa butter on the forehead, it keeps spirits away while you sleep. The only problem is it will keep your own away too, and you may need to communicate with them. Use sparingly when you’re really being bothered.
Tried this last night and also threw a small pillow under my hips to not make my anterior pelvic tilt any worse. First time in 2 months i didn't wake up to change positions. Slept like a rock and it felt like the best stretch of my life this morning when I got up.
Fantastic!
Last night was night 3 of trying this pillow technique and it’s very difficult to sleep on my back through the whole night, but I have been waking up and getting out of bed without neck pain which is incredible. I’m also working on my posture throughout the day now since I work at a desk 40 hours a week. I really want to get rid of my neck hump, it hurts and is unattractive, but thanks to your advice, I feel like I’m finally on the right track to fix my posture. I’m also trying to do more stretching as well, so I’ve started on 15 minutes of yoga each day :)
You got this!
Have you fixed it? :)
Your amazing
Any luck? I’m on day 4 😅
Remember a round not too high pillow under your knees, it's crucial if you want to sleep on your back, i have been a side sleeper entire life, and now i can only sleep on the back, but if i forget the pillow, underneath the knees, i will wake up wit a really sore back. Flat legs/knees is not good.
I always struggled falling asleep because my neck was in terrible pain. I tried this method and the neck pain is immediately gone like magic.
I can't thank you enough for this..!😭❤️
Thanks for sharing!
How long it take I'm going through it now😥😥😥
Me too!
@@meliaworld a few days ago out of the blue I decided to give this “weird hack” a try. I felt instant relief, I kid you not. All the strain was lifted of my neck and shoulder, I felt good circulation going through my neck, head and later the rest of my body. I never wake up in pain or suffer from nagging neck anymore.
I have also noticed, I wake up so much better.
First, I am more refreshed. I feel good with the same amount of sleep or less than before. In the past I always woke up exhausted. Not anymore. I often woke up with pains and aches or stiffness. No more.
@@meliaworld As a fellow miniature painter, I can sympathize!
I HATE my hunched back.. I’ve gone to plastic surgeon consults who’ve given me less info that you did for free. THANK YOU
My pleasure!
How would a plastic surgeon help anyway? Besides liposuction
Plastic surgery wasn’t gone fix it….
plastic surgery is over rated
Because surgery makes them far more money than actual treating you and having you be cured!
I have a really bad humpback and after just one sleep on my back like you showed the humpback got smaller and my neck pain was gone. Thank you so much.
I appreciate you taking your time to answer our questions
My Pleasure. :)
The sleeping position really works for me! Went to lie down for 20 minutes after watching this video with that pillow placement and felt the difference immediately afterwards. It's like a weight has been lifted off my neck and back. My mind instantly becomes clearer and the posture is so much better, it's like magic! Will definitely continue doing that and share it with my friends and family. Thank you, Doc!
Thanks for sharing!
So nice
My neck pain was immediately relieved after lying like that
But I thought studies have proven back sleeping cuts off or kinks the flow of cerebral spinal fluid to the brain which results in an increase in alzheimer's because the brain is essentially not getting the "rinse" of all daily buildup?
I'm really starting to re-think my opinion of humanity with all these doctors on youtube giving you free health advice that's just PURE GOLD. Thanks sir! You've confirmed what I suspected! SUBSCRIBED!
Thank you! :)
Immediately after resting on the pillow as the video said I felt the tension in me shoulders relax so much that I fell asleep again 😂❤ this is so simple and so good, thanks Dr. S!
Thanks for sharing!
Outstanding, Dr. Saunders. My sincere Thanks to You.
Glad it was helpful!
I did this for about 30 minutes right after watching this video. It was quite painful because of how much I had to stretch, but I could see significant improvement in my posture immediately afterward. It was far too uncomfortable to sleep like that, but the improvement I saw from that lie-down was still there the next day! So I've been having daily lie-downs and after about five days, it's much less painful, and my posture continues to show improvement.
Great point...even laying in this position for a few minutes a day will be helpful...thanks for your comment.
Good to know!
In Alexander technique they get you to lie in a specific position for 20 minutes a day
@@drjonsaunders i did seek help by multiple chiropractors and it did help but its always so temporarily. I wake up with neck pain so i think it is the way i sleep. Problem is (i think) that during the night i move a lot. I can accidentally sleep in strange positions. Do you have any tips?
Good idea, I think I will try this, since I am afraid to sleep on my back
It’s acc sad that I need this and I’m a teen, I’m telling u guys it’s the phones
Mobile use is definitely a major cause....thanks for watching!
Same

Yess my phone damaged my neck!
I am just starting to notice my neck & head leaning forward when I walk, I noticed in a photo a friend took of me from the side. I was surprised to see how I looked! I'm starting this TONIGHT!! Subscribed too! Thank you!
This will help as well! ua-cam.com/video/_xg9z3bY90E/v-deo.html
This helped my back pain so much. Thank you for posting!
Glad it helped!
Started sleeping without a pillow and on my back after 34 years of sleeping on my side. Rolled shoulders and a curved neck have been starting to really effect not just my back and neck, but now my collarbones, neck muscles, ribs, and chest. After 2 nights sleeping with no pillow I feel a ton of relief waking up and also seem to go into deeper sleep. Thanks for the info doc. Liked and subscribed.
Thanks for sharing. :)
Thanks for sharing! I’m a big side sleeper, idek if I can fall asleep on my back but I’d really like to try cuz I’ve got a lot of back, neck, and shoulder pain, so I’m happy to hear from somebody else that it’s possible!
@@mckenzielangendorf1437 It might help to put a pillow on top of your torso if you have trouble falling asleep on your back.
Ikr I actually never slept with out pillows until I had sciatica & couldn't get comfortable one night, now I never use them I wake up in pain if I do, & if I use one it's very thin & soft but not there for any support .
@@mckenzielangendorf1437 yep, me too, I never sleep on my back and it seems really 'exposed' for my face when I do. I guess that's the hardest part of this for people like us
I'm a massage therapist and I have so many clients with this problem. A lot of them have desk jobs. I always tell them about proper posture, to get a chair that will make them sit up straight, and to PUSH THEMSELF into their desk so they are not leaning into their keyboard. Also, the monitor should be eye level (Can use books or a stand) and keyboard 90 degrees with your arms. If you use a laptop, I strongly suggest getting a wireless mouse/keyboard and same thing with the screen-elevate it. Feel free to add anything.
All great tips Annette - thank you!
How should we put our books on desk?I am a student ;and after every study session I get a neck pain.Please help.
@@farhan_821 you could try getting a stand(like what someone uses to hold sheet music) and prop up your books while you study? ❤️
Thank you so much for this! It really helped me
There are some stands for laptops that make the screen get to your eye level. I got one, and it helps a lot. Also, all the rest you recommend has been helping me.
Thanks for the tip... gonna try and will keep you posted!
Please do!
Best explanation on this issue - thank you Doc. 🙏🏻
My pleasure!
Wanted to share a tip given to me by my chiropractor that worked fantastically for my neck hump. Lie on your back in your bed with no pillow. Then push the back of your head into the mattress, hold for 20 seconds and do three sets in total. You can do more if you’d like, but no need for overkill. Do this just a couple of days in a row and you will see a huge difference! When I did it everyday for just over a week my neck hump was completely gone. But the key is to be consistent with it! Let me know if you give it a try and it works for you 😊
Yes good tip...activating the deep cervical flexors like this can help: ua-cam.com/video/Pwzr3HxDhuo/v-deo.html
I quite didn't understand, can you please give more explanation
@@arjun.1751 I think you have to lay on your back, on the straight surfase like floor or bed without pillow. Then you make a move like you would push the back of your head towards floor/bed. In this moment your neck and upper back going to raise a bit, like 1 cm off surface. You hold that way for 20 sec. And repeat 3 times. This is how I understood the exercise.
This is how I sleep :) I lie down and move up until my neck hump is gone and then hold it like that!
Thank you for this tip!
I have been sleeping with no pillow at all, on my back and the result is amazing. Literally, I saw the result and felt so much better after two nights! Thanks for the amazing video!
Great to hear...thanks for sharing!
My sister had an accident which caused trauma to her neck, shoulders, and back. Her doctor told her to get rid of the pillow. I would have horrible soreness in my neck and shoulders each morning. Once she told me what her doctor said, I eliminated the pillow and it has helped. On occasion I have difficulty falling asleep with no pillow so I use the pillow technique that doctor talked about where there’s no pressure on the neck. I can usually fall asleep and no pain in the morning.
@Borna Fresh try putting a pillow just below your glute
@Borna Fresh
I can but wife cant from lower back pain. Do what works.
I cant even fall asleep on my back :/ any tips?
This is what I needed the most Thankyou Dr. Jon ❤ Helpful
You're so welcome!
I almost swiped to the next video but your info quickly caught my attention. Very informative! I’ll be trying your pillow technique starting tonight to fix my neck hump. Thank you for this video! ❤ Liking & subscribing! 👍🏼
Thank you!
I have big breasts so I tend to hunch forward. I’ve always knew there was tension in my upper back but I think I got used to the sensation and I was stuck. These exercises finally managed to stretch that part of my back I could NEVER get to move properly. Thank you so much, such a relief!a
My pleasure!
Glad I'm not alone! I think my breasts are the sole contributor to my neck and posture issues! Thanks for saying it works I hope it will for me too!
What size?
Idk how you do it. When I sleep flat on my back it feels like the weight of my boobs is creeping up towards my head and making it harder to breath. Idk how to explain it, just that they position themselves "higher" on my body and the weights wrong to "my chest opening up".
Nice. I was wondering how well this worked for those who are busty since its hard to combat a lot weight on one side of your body lol
I had an insanely bad posture, which I've almost fixed now. Strengthening my shoulder joint muscles and mid and lower traps has been the key. Alot of people think that you need to stretch, but actually you need to strengthen weak muscles on your upper back.
Strengthening is definitely part of the equation.
@@drjonsaunders indeed, but of course stretching the second key part
How long did it take u
What kind of strenghtening exercised do you do?
@@nothingnothing7621 the best way to strengthen is to lift weights targetting the areas that you want to strengthen. I fixed my hunched back by doing deadlifts and overhead presses.
im 17, and self conscious about whether or not my neck hump looks bad...will definitely be trying this tonight, thank you!!
You got this!
Thank you for this helpful video! I've been trying to improve my posture for a while now, and this video has given me some great tips. I'm going to start sleeping on my back and see how it goes.
Happy to help!
I did this last night and it's the best my neck and shoulders have felt in years. Can't wait to share this with my clients! Thank you Dr. Saunders! 🙏
You're so welcome!
man, I wish I could just bend my spine like that spine prop 😂
😂
😂😂😂
Really appreciate these videos and all your tips, I can already feel the difference in just a few days.
Great to hear! Best wishes.
Thank you for these really clear instructions.
You're very welcome!
I had a neck hump for most of my childhood, the other kids would make fun of me and call me Quasimodo. My posture improved gradually throughout my life, I think learning how to stand up straighter and routinely putting my head back fixed it. Part of having that neck hump was also due to always keeping my head down due to low self-esteem as a kid. Glad I got over that though.
Thanks for sharing!
Hey Ben I got a question if your still around thanks
I can relate to that bad self-esteem problem. I'm doing some exercise for the hump in my back. Anything better than nothing!
@@corinneyaworski5274 Other peoples' meanness can have a very bad effect on you, if you let it.
right on ben. you’re awesome
OMG! This really works! I'm a 67 year old woman with a bad hump. I did it one night. As soon as I got up in the morning I automatically stood up straight! What a blessing you are Dr.! I'm breathing better too. I have sleep apnea, so hopefully this will help that too. I do have to say, I had trouble going to sleep b/c of the unfamiliar position, but it was totally worth it! I'm sure as i get used to it this will get better. Thank you! Thank you! You changed my life!
Thanks for your comment and share! :)
Be careful sleeping on your back with sleep apnea.
Hope your progress is still going strong ❤
What if you have severe acid reflux?
@@itskashkashi Absolutely, my snoring would wake me constantly. A defo NO for me.
Absolutely brilliant video, much gratitude, thank you so much
Glad you enjoyed it!
Being in this position for prolonged time gave me dizziness and vertigo. Saw cervicogenic vertigo video and it helped a lot. Thank you doctor 🎉🎉❤
Great to hear!
Ok 34 years of sleeping on my side & 13 years of a desk job later. I'm ready to give this a go. Night 1. Wish me luck, I need this pain gone!
Good luck!
@@drjonsaunders Wow I can't believe you replied! So Night 1 - I actually didn't get much sleep, tried the recommended pillow position & that was too uncomfortable. Then I tried without a pillow and that was slightly better.
Anyway here goes Night 2!
@jhimlyb did it help you?
I've changed my sleeping posture to the one explained for three days now. Already saw huuuuge improvement in my posture!! Thanks for sharing!
Well done!
Tried this last night and could breathe easier and felt less tension in my chest and shoulders already. Cant wait to continue this practice and learn more from your videos - thanks!
Wonderful!
Share your update dude that will be helpful 😊
Hi, I remember watching this video a long time ago. I still have the hump on my back but it was because I didn’t keep doing it! My partner has problems sleeping and I will definitely share this with him. I have to be patient and keep stretching and sleeping properly. Thanks again! 💯🙌🏼
Thanks for sharing - check out my newest neck hump video here: ua-cam.com/video/mOim4zFuzck/v-deo.html
This is awesome thank you! I struggle so much with this problem yet no practitioner has ever given me this good advice. I’ll give it a try!
Thanks for your comment and watching!
Thank you doc! By simply changing the way that fluffy pillow is laid on - I feel much better!! Wow, simplicity at its best! You rock!!
Simplicity is often best...glad it was helpful. :)
My 4 year old was a asleep and snoring loudly while i was watching this trying to make my posture better and then i realized he was sleeping on his side so i put him on his back and instantly the snoring stopped. I’m glad i noticed it and can teach him to get used to sleeping on his back from here on out, thank you ☺️
My pleasure! :)
Really appreciate these videos! Because of L4,L5 discs being herniated and knee issues, I can't sleep on my back. I will definitely be trying the stretches though....hopefully they'll help a bit. Thank you!
I hope you heal up quickly...best wishes.
Sleeping without any pillow has done so much for my neck! The first two weeks were really tough, but after that my neck was feeling soft and stretchy - not as hard and stiff like the years before :)
Thanks for sharing!
Are u sleeping on ur back?
Have you noticed the buffalo hump going
Yes
Holy! I swear I try every posture exercise, lifting or even mewing but i can't do this
Amazing video Dr. Jon.. straight to the point, clear instruction.. gonna try this exercises, hope this help me to relief the pain and improve my posture!! Great work, keep doing it! Stay safe..
Thank you...all the best!
Thank you so much. Really trying to improve my posture along with chiropractic adjustments lately.
Great to hear!
Wow, this is after a lot of Videos, the first Video with this kind of approach! Thanks a lot
Glad you enjoyed it!
I don't know why the UA-cam algorithm brought me here lol new subscriber 👌🏻
I guess it was meant to be. ;)
Exactly. Me too
Same here and just adjusted my pillow lol
Glad this popped up today. Just what I need to help with the upper back exercises I started doing. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Funny , I just have had neck and shoulders in great pain. And yes I agree from using iPhone. But I also have a fib and dr recommended to sleep with legs elavated. I’m going to try your method of pillow longways., and try to stand and sit up. I use a walker and am hunched over it. Can you recommend how to use the walker and not hunch over??
@@drjonsaunders did you see Marilyne's question about walkers?
At 72 I now take 10,000 D3 +K2 . The suggestions in this UA-cam are really helping me also to lessen my poor posture. Thank you Dr Saunders❤🎉
Fantastic!
I have to thank you, the simple exercise you show at the end unlocked something in my back. I was only able to get this type of stretch with a couple of specific yoga exercises, but this is so much easier and effective!
Wonderful!
Thank you so much for making this video and the life changing info. You're such a legend 🌟
You're so welcome!
I very much appreciate the visual demonstration to comprehend how the spinal cord should and shouldn't be. Thank you for explaining in detail these tips; I'm definitely trying the sleeping and stretches soon.
Thanks for your support! :)
@@drjonsaunders You're welcome! ☺️
Thank you this video was so informative I will definitely do this exercise and sleep position
Glad it was helpful!
Finally!! I always wondered why do we sleep on a pillow like most people do as intuitively felt it can cause bad posture. Also I'd reduce time with the phone as it is most often looking down in a crooked posture.
Thanks for watching!
Omg this was amazing. The stretches took the pain way 🥹very helpful video thank you 🙏🏼
Glad it helped!
i find this really helpful, as I also struggle with severe scoliosis as well as the “foreword neck” , so thank you. hopefully this will ease some of my back and neck pain
Best wishes!
How's it been? It's been theee months now. Any changes?
Came across your video while searching for ways to improve my lordosis. Keeping my fingers crossed and staying hopeful. Thank you
Thanks for watching, best wishes.
Thank youuuuu!!! It’s stuff I was doing problem solving on my own and this was so validating and clarifying in simple tweaks I can make to improve further. So grateful you chose to share your knowledge, I send you gratitude, health and well wishes!
My pleasure, thanks for watching! :)
I've been doing this for weeks and feel so much better! Thank you!!
Great job!
Helloooo Thankyou so much for this video :)) I haven't been doing anything except change my sleeping position and my posture has already improved alot within a short time span!
Wonderful!
Very rightly explained.i agree.i have tried no pillow sleep since last few months and amazing results ❤.
Indeed. :)
This makes so much sense - have been doing the pillow support all wrong all these years and now have loads of problems and developed sleep apnoea so going to try this out tonight
Good luck!
Doing this now as I watch ...I switched from a very physical job to office & it’s affected my back & caused neck hump. Before covid I was in yoga class daily lots of heart openers poses. So this sleep position reminds me of that . Thank you for the video. Yoga mat back out in the morning too .
Great...back to healthy habits! :)
Thank you so much, Dr. Jon! 🙏🏼❤
You're most welcome!
Tried this a couple of times for a change, unusual but definitely helped me feel more refreshed in the morning
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this video it’s very informative and after all the years (9 years) I’ve visited a chiropractor, not one gave me these exercises to do at home.
Glad you enjoyed it. :)
that makes sense... thank you so much for that, i‘ll start training my new sleeping position tonight!
Excellent!
Thank you doctor. This is very helpful.
Most welcome!
You don't realise how helpful this was. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
@drjonsaunders How do you classify Tempur-Pedic mattresses? Soft or firm? We have a Tempur-Contour Elite and wondering if it needs to be switched out.

Is he wanting us to lie on your back
I'm glad I'm not the only person who sleeps with the pillow lengthwise. It's so much more comfortable and I feel way more supported.
Thanks for watching and sharing!
Just saw this video about an hour ago. Back of my neck has been hurting all day from poor sleep and hunching over a desk for about 9 hours straight both yesterday and today. I had just woken up from a nap on my side when I saw this, and my neck still hurt. I didn’t search for this video. It showed up in my recommended vids, and I decided to give it a shot. About an hour later of laying down in this position, and my neck pain is gone. Most definitely going to be doing this a lot moving forward even if it takes me a while to get used to it. Thank you.
Great to hear...thanks for watching!
I only started trying this five minutes ago and it already feels amazing.
Thanks for sharing!
I felt the difference immediately. Thank you. I will do my best to sleep this way from this day forward.
Glad it helped!
Good demonstration and explanation. I use to sleep on my back with regular pillow position and made my back look straighter. I will try your technique. Going to chiropractor and physical therapy (teaching you exercises) helps a lot!
Best of luck!
Thanks!!! I’ll try this more often!!!
Great, thanks for watching.
I figured this out on my own to help my scoliosis and pain so thanks for the confirmation. 👍
Good job!
I have been battling with my posture for years. It's something I've become so self conscious about, and tried so many things to fix it. Being mindful, back braces, exercise, stretches, I tried them all with no improvement whatsoever. Many of these things left me feeling worse and I had almost accepted that I would be permanently slouched over. I was very skeptical when I watched this video yesterday, but tried it last night. After sleeping only one night without a pillow, I immediately feel a difference. IM NOT KIDDING! Its so hard to describe, but I just naturally was more comfortable sitting straighter than normal. Slouching too much was also uncomfortable and I found my self noticing it and correcting it more then I ever have been able to before.
I'm amazed, and so grateful I found this. Literally on the verge of tears because I feel like I can actually do something about this insecurity. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
I'm so happy to hear that...all the best!
Thank you Dr. I feel so self conscious of my neck. Definitely want to try all your exercises and advice. I've been sleeping in a elevated position as long as I can remember. Thank you to all those who posted encouraging comments..
Wonderful!

Welcome aboard!
I'm 65 yo and 6'4" (after visiting the chiropractor). I started having a bad kyphosis 30 years ago. I tried many things, including these, and had success also with sleeping on my side with my upper arm at a right angles to my torso. That keeps the head from leaning into the torso. Also, I use a Trueback every day, which is the next best thing to a chiropractor.
