Years ago they used to teach proper posture in school. That is ancient history now. Basic healthcare education needs to be taught to future generations can avoid the pitfalls of poor health due to ignorance. Please keep teaching us these simple basic techniques that can make such a difference when implemented. Thanks for all you do.
I always tried to practice good posture by myself when I was at school. I wished schools taught that again! They don't even teach cursive anymore I believe. I remember having to learn that as well. I would vote schools to resume that any day. My vote is on the table
More important now than ever before
They teach posture in elementary still they just don’t force anyone to sit or stand that way
Used to reach civics and math as well. Of coarse it turned out all that stuff was racist.
Same with mouth breathing
Time stamps for exercises (we watch video multiple times a week to do exercises with Dad).
2:45 supine chin tuck. 4:40 seated chin tuck (avoiding pie in the face!). 6:30 standing chin tuck.
Thanks for this
thank you king
Thank u elon mus

Suckin off some dude

:Sneezes:
Me: (Checks date)
Definitely
HAHAHAHAA lmao same
can’t believe you guys are fixing your posture in quarantine too 😁
@@Aethelhadas 🙏🏿 What better time to grow??
G. Tha Truth 😐😐😐
I’m 80 and have severe hunchback...when my aunt died at 80, she was walking completely bent forward...I’m still going to try your exercises...I can still do the backbend, , touch my hands on the floor and do the splits...maybe there’s help for me yet...love your videos...BTW, I’ve done Yoga asanas for over 60:years....but not consistently...
How are you sir? You feel better now?
You guys are hysterical and great info! I told my PT about you guys and he’s watching now too!
Just wanted to say there are people who take you very seriously and are thankful guys. 🙏
Love you guys! I woulda stayed with you Brad! I'm a personal trainer and studied corrective exercise and always emphasize good posture especially when training. Some of my clients would lift 50 pounds but when I tell them to fix their posture/form they can only lift 10-15 pounds. It's crazy how important posture and good form is. Thanks for teaching us the importance!
I trained horses and coached riders for competition. Posture is everything. What you do with your body the horse mirrors. Just turning your head or tilting it forward will cause a reaction in the horse under saddle. It is amazing how hard people have to work to overcome these bad habits.
You guys are making a difference and getting somewhere. So please keep at it and thank you!
Very helpful content! Thank you Bob & Brad!
😒 BOB and BRAD,you two ROCK,you make HEALING your BODY a SMOOVE n SIMPLE effort,keep up the EXCELLENT work !! 👍
Bob and Brad are a treasure of the internet. If I move back to MN, I'm definitely going to come visit their office for an autograph.
Good stuff you guys teach on here. I watched the other video about neck posture and headaches because ive had headaches that i almost never have on the back of my head, super like sensitive and stuff to the touch. I realized that my neck posture was so bad that my chin was literally pointing downwards and not forward and chin up. Changed my neck posture and yeah it felt exagerated at first but the headaches became less and less. Three days tomorrow and hope i can keep it up
Love the new look! I watch you everyday 👀 and love your content!
Thanks Marilyn! We've added a new member to our team, Marcus, who is doing the new edits!
Thank you sir, it's work please suggest on Cervical Spondylosis and sloppy solder
I never had this problem until I spent long hours at a computer for 8 months to complete a two yrs degree. Then you say something like there's hope for someone in there 30s, bit if you are older there's no hope you probably won't have successes in correcting posture. Thanks fellows
I said and asked basically the same thing with no response, are the “older” people just wasting their time trying to correct our forward head posture?
Thanks for the video guys helps a lot
This entire video is only about performing chin tucks in different positions, but forward head posture does not always originate at the neck. Oftentimes, you also have to correct hyper-kyphosis (over-rounding) of the thoracic spine, or else patients will continue to hold their neck in proximal cervical flexion and distal cervical extension because they want to look straight ahead.
I wish I can meet Bob and Brad. They seem like such a laugh. Thanks for the video. I will incorporate this into my daily routine
Love these videos 👍
Who else is here cause of the qurantine
riz :,D
Quarantine really fucked up my posture
🙋
It's only getting worse
@@samira_360 indeed 2+ months home office
Chin tucks and neck traction at my chiropractor have helped,
great advice,,, Im afraid I needed to hear it.
Excellent video , guys ! One thing , you forgot, is to tell teachers to teach all students the right way to sit, stand straight and relax...to teach that everyday in the beginning of the day....🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭 ( sorry for my English) I know you understand me, I hope...
Thanks Bob and Brad for fixing my back 🙏🏾, time to fix my forward head.
Nice ,good exercises.
As soon as he sneezed I looked at the date this was posted.
Khai PFFFFFHAHAHAHAHA!!!🤣🤣🤣
The chin tucks have proven to be really helpful!
Brad sneeze into your elbow!
confirmed
Holy shit!!!!😲😲
WTF
Since when has sneezing into your elbows been a “wow” thing
EEWWWWW!!!!
Thank you so much!
i always try putting my head against my seat. i do alot of computer work and it has become a habit. this video has been very helpful thanks!
I have a pinched nerve and I've been doing the chin tucks, but I'm having a hard time with staying in a good posture, I guess I'll just keep trying!! Lol
I'm with you on that. I don't have a pinched nerve, but I have other challenges. All the posture suggestions made here are good but you do have to stick with them. Lol, I'm 5' 1" on a good day when I'm really focused on standing straight. When I don't focus on good posture I begin to look like a little rolly poly/pill bug. Stick with it.
Those wall angels are a bear to do, but they seem to really hit home the way one should be standing all the time.
These guys manage to be very entertaining when teaching otherwise unentertaining subjects
Could you do a video or series for common mom/postpartum ache's and pains? Right now my baby is 8 most, getting heavier, and my arm/shoulder even elbow and hand on the side i put tend to carry most of his weight on. Sometimes I wake up with pain and stiffness after carrying him for a particularly long time.
Thanks guys...
My pt told me to set an alarm on my phone and do 10 chin tucks every 2 hrs. These are never comfortable for me, but it makes the hump go away. I have arm pain sometimes too and this might be why.
how long did it take to go ?
I didn't stay consistent enough with it. Just started ignoring my alarms... however, i did it consistently for at least a week! It's still here. So one week is not long enough.
On the bright side, I figured out why it was hurting. I wasn't putting my chin down enough! I was keeping it level and moving back thus pinching my nerves. You really have to tuck your chin down then back to avoid tension.
@@surpingbutterfly hey any updates?
@@jaskaranjeetkaur7509 I’ve done it for most of the day and I saw results, most likely because i’m younger.
Bless you Brad!
Hello! I actually stumbled across this video in an attempt to help my step father in law (in his 70s). I know you mentioned in this video that some older people seem to be such this way, but would you still recommend these exercises?
I love your videos. What is your opinion about the iron neck?
What do you think about chiropractic session is it safe to crack your spine and neck posture correction???
Every single posture video guide starts with someone mimicking poor posture then standing up straight! I would like to see a before and after of someone who has had bad posture for decades that can't stand up and push their neck back perfectly straight fix their posture; but I have never seen any before/after pictures.
The guide should be:
Step 1: have perfect posture.
Step 2: mimic forward head posture.
Step 3: stand up straight.
I know it's well meaning, but I have tried all the exercises and every time I stand up straight (like up against the wall) I can make my shoulderblades and back of my head touch the wall but my neck ends up being bowed with my Adam's apple sticking way out and it feels like my airway is much more narrow. Is there any coming back from that?
For how long have uou tried the exercises?
Someones posture is a result of years/decades, so it wont be perfect after doing it for a few weeks or even months
Same. My Adam’s apple stick past my chin.
It’s hurting my neck looking down at my phone to watch this video 😂😂😂
Oh gosh I have terrible head posture I really need to do all of these all the time!
I love you guys!
Thank you so much Bert and Ernie, i mean, Bob and Brad. 😅
you guys have great posture -thank you - will keep working at it m,k wis
lmao my doublechins be thrivin' when i do these exercises

Hey! Guys specially Teacher Brad, I received your germs . Switzerland has them too. I love this video. Thank you!🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭
my right toe is numb, what might be the cause of it?i have a disk bulge l4l5, could this be a bad thing?
I've got some degeneration at the 5 and 6 (cervical spine). It is causing shoulder pain. I'm currently seeking treatment and working on this.
Im ... 16 and ive been spending most of my teenage year infront of a computer.... this video kinda helps but..... i always seem to be gradually going back to the same bad posture
Bless you 🤧
Thank you gentlemen. Is there a way to increase the difficulty? Like adding a resistance band?
static holds, use a towel or a belt
You guys crack me up 😄
God , I miss you both so much! I need your assistance with my cervical spine that has pinched nerves. 🤗
I have posture envy for Bob! Nice neck!
Love your videos! If someone has a very large, protruding adipose butt, should they skip the wall test? My upper body is much smaller than my lower and the wall work makes me feel overly swaybacked. Thanks!
Same
This is totally my problem, 48 years of terrible posture, my head wont touch the wall or floor, soon it will thanks to you guys!
Food Porn Network me too only I am 62!!
best videos on UA-cam!
In your own opinion of course... ;c)
God bless you!! Elbows please!!
When ever I do this especially standing against the wall i get a sharp pain that radiates up the back of my neck agaist the two protruding bones which stick out. It could be because my neck muscles are tight/shortened

Explaining Proper Posture
Posture refers to your body position when you are standing, sitting, lying down, and when you’re performing movements such as lifting, bending, and twisting.
Your spine consists of three natural curvatures that need to be aligned correctly so that your weight is evenly distributed over both of your feet. The three curves include:
Cervical curve - this is the curve in your neck that has a slight forward curve.
Thoracic curve - this is the curve in your upper and mid back that has a slight backwards curve.
Lumbar curve - this is the curve in your lower back that has a slight forward curve.
Good posture involves having your ear, shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle aligned vertically from the side. In many cases, you’ll need to train your body to maintain good posture so that the least amount of strain is placed on the joints, muscles, and ligaments of your body.
Health Benefits of Good Posture
Maintaining proper posture has many benefits including:
Keeping your joints and bones in proper alignment.
Ensuring muscles are being used effectively and efficiently.
Helping to decrease abnormal wear and tear on joint surfaces.
Decreasing stress on the spinal ligaments.
Preventing the spine from becoming fixed in an abnormal position.
Preventing muscle fatigue.
Minimizing the risk of sprain and strain injuries.
Minimizing the risk of back pain.
Promoting a good appearance.
Negative Health Effects of Poor Posture
There are a variety of factors involved in poor posture, with the most common factors being obesity, pregnancy, stress, and weak and/or tight muscles.
Poor posture has a variety of negative health consequences, including:
Creating muscle imbalances in the body.
Accelerating wear and tear on your spine, making you more susceptible to injury.
Increasing the risk of neck, shoulder, and back pain.
Decreasing flexibility of the body.
Interfering with your balance, increasing your risk of falling.
Impairing digestion of food.
Impairing breathing.

That intro is amazing, it's like some Tim and Eric shit.
How long do we do them how many times a day and how long should it take to start seeing results can you guys elaborate more
Not sure if anyone will answer this but I've been trying to do neck exercises for hunch forward necks and I'm on my first few days and it feels like my breath is restricted. Is this normal? Is my neck just getting used to it?
Ooo kinda unrelated but could you guys do reviews on back braces or other things to help your posture?
They've done them before. You could check in history.
I am usually on my computer for hours on end every day and its hard for me to maintain my shoulders correct posture which messes up my neck some days i dont have full flexion of the neck is it even possible to maintain proper posture while on a computer? Or am i just that far gone posture wise?
Living bone remodels under pressure. That's how orthodontists can straighten teeth. In older people it takes longer, but if you persevere with this it can happen at any age, unless joints are ankylosed (turned into concrete). Mild pain in that bottom neck joint during these moves is a good sign that you are getting results.
When my neck is straight and I’m looking straight ahead the top of my eye lid is slightly above my ears. Does everyone have different proportions for ear alignment with the ears? I know some people who stand with their chin high but their ears are still above eye level
Yes your ears Nor eyes are not perfectly aligned just Like every one else $o don’t Trip mane u all good
When I do the chin press I feel this tightness between my shoulder blades and shoulder blade stiffness. Is this normal?
When I try to be in the correct position or do these exercises it hurts my back between my shoulder blades. This is also true when I try to correct my posture when walking. Is this because my muscles aren't strong enough? It also makes me feel like my breathing is restricted and my heart beats like I'm doing a workout! Is this normal? Thanks!
best intro ever
So in practicing the chin tuck against the wall, I'm finding that I have the tendency to round my shoulder forward as I bring my head back to the wall. I try to keep it relaxed but it tends to happen, any modification or tip for keeping my shoulders from getting involved?
Eventually I'll break the habit w practice and focus. Keep doing it in bed and against the wall bc that will keep ur shoulders in place.
@@smilesmile7330 I appreciate your reply and encouragement, I'm hoping these exercises will help! It's mainly against the wall that I'm having this issue, when I'm laying down and not holding up this bag of bones it's not as much of a problem
Wall used to give me trouble too bc my neck used to stick out a lot. I did the chin tucks little by little with lying in bed being the easiest. U will see the progress! Don't force it just do what u can and ull c improvement over time 😇
@@jessicamg "bag of bones"--Hahaha!
The gremlin/ stud muffin thing was hilarious lol.

Gremlin versus Muffin, hilarious!😂😂
I don't think it's enough. I think that you need to build up back muscles in order to keep the balance. Another point is crumpled chest muscles, that keep shoulders forward. Front needs to relax and back needs to build up.
how many times should we repeat these?
liking the new graphics 👍 add a bottom ticker with the social media links etc and you can retire the sign. ;-)

Than beginning song is everything.
Chin tucks are most helpful in fixing forward position of head.
What if your neck is so stiff & tight t doesn't move much at all??
My neck muscles feel like steel rods..
Any thought about kyphosis surgery to fix this forever. Or how about a dancer's brace for forcing your posture to get straighter?
How long does doing what U guys R doing? Months, years??
My head is so forward & also was falling way down.
It is so painful..
Is it ironic that I'm getting 'Tech Neck' watching posture videos on my phone?! I see this all the time, including in myself, but I've been working to correct my posture! People should ask their friends and family to call them out if they notice bad posture because it's hard to be aware and conscious of it at all times!
8:31 hahaha that's exactly how it is
How long to see results??
That thumbnail got me dead 💀
😭
iiinmybag fr
Im here because of pain headache shoulder neck chest leg tingling,,, will i get back to my normal pain free life,, please tell me i will be able to fix this
I'm curious, what happens to the double chin. So I'm doing the exercise and yes they feel weird but I suppose that's part of the process. what about the double shin effect, does that go away as your posture improves or is it a trade-off to get a good posture with a double chin? would love advice from a professional, thank you.
Having a double chin was one of the reasons I always had my head forward growing up because it made me self-conscious. Now that I’m older I regret caring about what people thought of my weight because it ruined my posture and neck.
That Gremlin/Studmuffin comparison though....
Brookie Cookie hi
Hilarious!!! 🤣
That had me dying
😂😃
I do these in PT for migraine.
i could be crazy but doing all that stuff even 1 time helped
This is my posture and I’m 19
IM 13 and thats my posture
My posture isn't that bad but it's still not good either. I'm 12
Sameeee
Buddy you can definitely get good posture
Follow Bob and Brad / Jeremy Ethier
I m 19 nd it really sucks.....
Brad has good posture
Lol the sneezes
I know this video is old, but can forward head posture cause your body to deposit more fat in the front of the neck? Similar to how it deposits fat over the cervical area of the spine?
Because of this posture I have pain in my chest while moving my neck ...is it because of the posture or something else ?
I have already concerned more than 4 doctors MRI was also normal.
I’ve been doing various exercises for over a year, my posture isn’t getting any better, what can I do?
look at your habits. you could be continuing the habits that got your posture that way
Ana P I only have myself to blame cauee when I was 11 to like 14 I used to spend loads of time on the Playstaion, and I’d obviously lean forward a lot and that’s lead to my posture being completely screwed. I always try now though to make sure I’m not leaning forward at all if I’m on a computer or the playstaion, and I don’t use the PS much anyone cause I play the drums more. Unless I sit weirdly when I practice, then I really don’t know if any of my hobbies will be contributing to my bad posture, what do you think?
@@njgjovi7739 focus on your everyday posture, h24
Set a reminder, whatever you want to remember to concentrate on this, like everytime you sit, everytime you touch your head, put your hand in your pocket, literally whatever you do quite frequently.
At first it's hard, but it's a mindset
@@njgjovi7739 then the second most important advice is posture involves your whole body : hips, abdominals, shoulder and neck.
Your neck cannot be aligne if the lower body isn't in the right position (not fully straight, your spine isn't).
To work on your abminals, you just have to tuck in your stomach for the longest time you can (probably between 10 and 30 seconds and several times a day, loose weight if you have to, it could help of course).
