I been going to physical therapy 7 years off and on. For shoulders and back pain, Make it so bad that I go to different places Well about 2 months ago I Saw a TH-cam video about this same workout and within 3 weeks I am Pain free and I started taking fish oil and vitamin D3 K2 to help with my pinched nerve Thank you Doctor Berg my weight is also down 170lbs
Most of us that are Ex military, do not have a problem with posture. Dr. Berg, I am 67, and a friend of mine that used to tower over me by several inches is now shorter than I. He has been relatively inactive for decades and the results are shocking. Tell your people to get the hell off the couch. You do not have to run marathons, but being active is so crucial.
all the older men that now are 40 or even 50+ have good posture and i never understood how, but the military makes sense also they had no smart phones keep their head down all the time
Should check out David Goggins 'Can't Hurt Me'. He lost 2 inches of height because he never stretched. It all came back after he learned and made it a priority.
I can’t even believe how much this just helped my shoulder. I constantly feel like I need to have my upper back “cracked” and I’m so tense that no one can help. Even if this doesn’t fix my posture, the pain relief alone is worth the 5 min it takes
Athlean X on here also has very good stretches and strengthening exercises for this sorta thing. Really helped me find some relief from severe chronic pain. I think the video was titled something to do with rolled shoulders.
THANK YOU, Dr. Berg!!!! I have had night headaches almost daily for over a year!!!! I destroyed my gut with ibuprofen for the pain. I also bought a $60 pillow that did NOTHING to fix the issue. After many doctors, I figured out it was coming from my neck and upper back. I went to physical therapy, and it helped temporarily. In the last month, the terrible headaches started again. They wake me up in the middle of the night, and I feel I can't move due to the pain. I just started with a Chiropractor, and I will begin these exercises IMMEDIATELY. You are a life saver!!!
It seems like I saw a video about soaking your feet in warm or cold water for migraines....there seems to be a simple and or inexpensive solution for just about everything....and it pays to read the comments on these videos, they are often more helpful than the video
I've had chronic migranes for many years - I have destroyed my body with Tylenol #3 for the excruciating pain - I live in Canada and discovered Kalaya Mousse with Arnica - the pain cream is amazing and the Mousse I find stronger than the regular pain cream that they have - they have many different products - maybe it can help you too - Kalaya has their own website where you can order it - people use it for all kinds of pain in the body - I hope it can bring you some relief too - I have nothing to do with the company but just try to share this information with people who suffer with pain - I'm sure these exercises can benefit both of us - wishing you all the best, Cheers
This couldn't have come at a right time for me. I just recovered from a terrible shoulder pain because of bad posture and poor diet. People often comment that my shoulders look droopy. Time to get this slouching habit fixed. Thank you!
I'm 59 years old and have been hunched over my computer for 17 yrs. Now I have a Dowager's Hump. I tried the YTWL motions but it was causing me extreme pain and discomfort each time. This looks more feasible and practical to me. Thank you, Dr. Berg!!
i must say, i feel duped by the medical system because those stretches feel like WOW 🎉 and nobody has ever provided as great of help as you have just shown us now. Thanks Doc ! 😄
Thank you. I will suggest this to my wife because she is a veterinarian and she is always leaning over the table during examinations and surgeries and I'm noticing that as she's now hitting her mid-40s, she's starting to slouch a little bit. I tried to remind her to straighten up but she's been doing it since 2003 so it was eventually going to start happening. Hopefully this will help her straighten up and I will be using it too since I do a lot of work at the computer.
I think the real important part is having good posture while ur spine is developing.. If you try after that, it’s a hard battle. Mum always told me to straighten my back up ( I was shy and like 6ft3 ) it’s worth it at any age to, but get kids to do it while growing💜
Me too - my Mom was always telling me to straighten up - I was always the tallest girl wherever I went and would slouch - now in my 60"s I wish I had listened to Mom - wishing you all the best - cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
I am grateful for this video. I have Ankylosing Spondylitis and I am recovering from ACDF surgery, I am SAVING this video because I need to improve my posture. Wearing a hard collar is forcing my to keep my head up and not forward... These stretches once I am back in PT will be beneficial. Blessing to you and your staff.
I've been having issues with my levator always feeling fatigued. My chiropractor has not shown me these exercises, I am definitely going to incorporate these, thanks!
My posture was excellent when I was young because, when I was in grade school, I didn't want to be one of those bent-over old ladies - then I went to a chiropractor when I was 12, and he told me my back was almost too straight. That scared me because I didn't know if that was dangerous. Bang! Gone was my good posture. Sigh. By the time I realized I should have ignored what he said, I was in the habit of slumping, and it was difficult to sit straight.
Yes thanks mom!!!! I will never forget when I was around 8ish (I'm 47 now) and my mother would always tell me to sit up straight, she also would correct my walking if my feet veered out to either side. Now I have excellent posture and walk w/my feet straight, like a lady. Good ole ma
100% ... I have two exercise bands ... Using my lighter band for these simple exercises ... In just a few minutes my neck feels great ... Hope to do this every day ... THANK YOU !!! 👍👍
Thanks for the exercise tip. Here's something you may not know because you don't wear bifocals. Bifocals can also give you major neck strain. Bifocals are designed and meant for reading books, not computer screens. This places the bifocal lens at the lower part of the glasses. When one is attempting to read the computer screen with one's bifocal lens, one tilts one's head backwards to bring the bifocal lens higher and into one's view range. This tilting of the head back puts the neck in an unnatural state for an extended period of time and as a result tensions the neck muscle causing strain. Using the bifocal lens to read the computer monitor can also lead to eye strain as one must maintain an unnatural position of the head and over a period of time one will struggle to maintain that position and invariably, rather than looking through the regular lens or the bifocal, one will be looking through that small part that lies between the normal lens and the bifocal lens. Consistently viewing through that small portion as one struggles to maintain the head position, strains the eyes. If the computer monitor can be arranged so that it is laying flat such as when reading a book, then the bifocals will work just fine without causing strain, otherwise a separate pair of reading glasses is necessary to alleviate the stress.
if your eyes are good you should NOT wear glasses even if they look good! yes you can get a sore neck but it is also bad for you eyes if they are the wrong ones
@@thethinkingman- "if your eyes are good you should NOT wear glasses even if they look good! yes you can get a sore neck but it is also bad for you eyes if they are the wrong ones" Why would anyone with good eyes, be wearing glasses?
At almost 58 and hours on the computer I’m absolutely struggling every waking moment with keeping posture. I’m 5’10” with long torso so doubly hard. Thank you! ❤
I am 60 years old and have been working at the computer for many years. But I take breaks for different exercises, it is not only posture, but also exercises for the eyes, exercises for the pelvic area, because there is also stagnation there when you sit for a long time. When I have many subscribers on the channel, I plan to make a separate course of exercises for those who sit at the computer.
This is so timely and helpful, Dr Berg. I've been waiting for this! These are amazing exercises, the last one (The Matrix) reminds me of Tai Chi and I'd love more on this topic for future videos, please. You're a wonderful health professional. Thank you 🙏🏻💯
Thanks a ton Dr.Berg for the video 😊, can you please also share the stretching exercises for the whole body especially for lower back and more such videos on this topic. Thank you 🙏🏼
Great exercises. I am going to start NOW. Also you can lay on the floor or other flat hard surface, you can use a yoga mat but DO NOT do it on a bed or other soft surface...Just lay down flat , put your arms over your head against the floor, like 'stick them up' move and can also stretch arms straight out to the side....Relax and keep the position for 10 minutes or so. You can put a firm rolled up towel under the last bone of the spinal column. Do everyday. 🥰
Thank you Dr Eric for all your wonderful videos. I have watched many of your videos but didn't follow your advice. That was until my plantar fasciitis got so bad that i couldn't walk. No amount of physiotherapy worked, the pain only got worse. I went from having pain in the evenings and night to pain throughout the day as well. Your video on plantar fasciitis has healed me completely. I watched videos by other youtubers and nothing helped. But your video helped me and now i no longer have foot pain. It feels like a miracle. I can walk comfortably even after a whole day of standing. You are the best Dr Eric, may God bless you for all the help you have been providing to everybody. ❤
My dad drilled proper posture into us kids as well as table manners and a good work ethic. It helps especially when playing an electric bass guitar. Physical education back in jr. high school helped too.
This exercise tip has help me abt 43 yrs ago which my mother-in-law taught me I was corrected with my haunch back It is 100% true I did it Thank you for ur lovely video Dr
By chance, have been doing a couple these irregularly before bed (no broomstick) because it felt good but didn't know if it really did any good. Now, understanding the importance of these exercises, you've really strengthened my resolve, and I'll be acquiring a broomstick ASAP. Also, could you please let the lovely lady who's modelling for you know that she's much admired!
That last exercise was amazing, never seen it elsewhere. Gonna practice this routine because it feels like kind of my last resort to unlocking and potentially undoing some of my bad posture..... Thanks for providing health solutions for us Dr Berg🙏
That was amazing. I couldn’t need this anymore than I do. My shoulders & thoracic spine hurt so much. I’m totally into fascia. I will save this & start doing it.
This is wonderful exercises well these stretches rotating. I love this . Thank you so much. My right shoulder ,neck having a lot of aches and pain. I will be doing these exercises.
Be sure to read the last couple of sentences. Being a victim/veteran of back fusion and poor posture by skulking my way through life, I lacked the muscle memory for proper posture for decades. I stumbled across Dr. Berg's first three standing stretches and can vouch for their benefits over several decades. I had never seen #4, but certainly see the benefits and look forward to using this stretch. One that I do that I've never seen anywhere else is quite simple. I begin with the basics of chest out, tummy in. With feet nearly together, I begin to reach as high as I can. As I progress, I accentuate on focusing on all major and minor muscle groups, stretching and aligning my head over my shoulders, my torso and back centering them over my hips and ultimately my feet. I slowly release the tension while maintaining my posture. I feel as though I've regained an inch or two
I really appreciate this. I’m 32 and at 22 I had something pop in my neck. Over a few hours the pain was so bad I couldn’t move. I was literally locked up from extreme pain. After the incident I started to see a chiropractor for the first time since I was an child and they diagnosed me with osteoporosis in my cervical spine and also said my neck had lost its curve. I was recommended a chin tuck exercise to restore the curve but have never stuck with it. 10 years later and I’m in much worse shape. My job (solo house cleaner) is very aggravating to my condition and if I don’t stay on top of my magnesium glycinate supplements, I deal with a lot of pain, tension, and migraines. I’m going to try these stretches.
This workout was so quick and great feeling all over my upper body, instantly! Will definitely keep doing this everyday. 🎉 If you can do something just as quick for the lower body, i would love that !!
Thanks Doc!!! I have been working out for years and doing too much weight and overdevelopment of my chest and front delts led to bad posture. Can't tell you how much these exercises have helped.
*Larry Burkett's book on "Giving and Tithing" drew me closer to God and helped my spirituality. 2020 was a year I literally lived it. I cashed in my life savings and gave it all away. My total giving amounted to 40,000 dollars. Everyone thought I was delusional. Today, 1 receive 85,000 dollars every two months. I have a property in Calabasas, CA, and travel a lot. God has promoted me more than once and opened doors for me to live beyond my dreams. God kept to his promises to and for me*
It is the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US and abroad are getting so much from it, God has been good to my household Thank you Jesus
I've actually did routine 1~3 unconsciously sometimes. I just felt they are good to do and my body feels great afterwards. Today I finally know they actually have a names, and its fascial stretch !!
Great. So powerful and perfect for a person who isn't in good shape like me. So you don't have to do a lot of reps to get a good work out in. I did this and feel so worked out by doing so little! Each workout was just right. This series was so efficient.
Windmill stretch while holding a weight on your arm you hold up and hold your bodyweight the other arm. Works best when down on one knee. Push away from the ground focusing on the shoulders pushing up while stabilizing the shoulders. You will feel the activation of the muscles between your shoulder blades and will straighten you up. Done this as my warmup for the past 6 months.
How can it be, that this video is up less than a day and yet there are many people writing: "10 years of pain and thanks to this video, no more pain" etc.? Bots? Bought comments? This is very fishy.
Placebo more likely. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to discredit the video, just saying a lot of people are looking for "the solution" that will solve everything. Typically every new thing they try solves it, until they forget about it and move on to the next "solution" a few days later. Then again, for a channel with millions of subscribers, it only takes one guy to get their pain healed to make a comment like that. Also people like to overexaggerate.
wow funny i have been doing these exercises for years but without a stick.i am a construction worker and i have been doing it to stretch my body before i start work
Can't wait to try these moves because I desperately need the help in straightening my posture. But I'm healing from a fractured collar bone, so it's going to be a while. ☹️
Great timing for this video. I am 63. I noticed, while reviewing videos from our home security system, that when I was outside walking around, I am getting this hunched forward posture, I guess from sitting in front of my computer all day. I do NOT like what I have seen. Honestly, I did order, last week, this strap system that is supposed to correct your posture. I haven't received it yet. But in the meantime, I am going to try your exercises. Someone had told me to keep reminding myself to sit up straight and imagine a straight rod up-and-down my back. And force myself to "look upward".
Dr Berg. I've been watching you for many, many years and seeing that you have 12 million Subscribers is fibulas. You give the public something it really needs and I'm glade you get the reward for it. Some people have a lot of view and they don't deserve anything.

Here's something you may not know because you don't wear bifocals.
Bifocals can also give you major neck strain.
Bifocals are designed and meant for reading books, not computer screens.
This places the bifocal lens at the lower part of the glasses.
When one is attempting to read the computer screen with one's bifocal lens, one tilts one's head backwards to bring the bifocal lens higher and into one's view range.
This tilting of the head back puts the neck in an unnatural state for an extended period of time and as a result tensions the neck muscle causing strain.
Using the bifocal lens to read the computer monitor can also lead to eye strain as one must maintain an unnatural position of the head and over a period of time one will struggle to maintain that position and invariably, rather than looking through the regular lens or the bifocal, one will be looking through that small part that lies between the normal lens and the bifocal lens. Consistently viewing through that small portion as one struggles to maintain the head position, strains the eyes.
If the computer monitor can be arranged so that it is laying flat such as when reading a book, then the bifocals will work just fine without causing strain, otherwise a separate pair of reading glasses is necessary to alleviate the stress.

Nice!
Did this today. What a difference it makes! I heard cracks here and there and it was relaxing. I walked straighter and my back was nor slumping.
Bless you for all of your good tips! 🙏
I've had bad posture all my life. I'll give it a try.
Thanks Dr. Berg❤
You're very welcome!
Omg this info about fahscha opens up a whole new dimension about fahschal strech
That's great!
Once again, great information . Thank you !
I saved to my daily routine. I sit at my desk anywhere from 10-14 hours a day. Thank you! 🙏
I'll definitely try it thanks!
Be sure to read the last couple of sentences. Being a victim/veteran of back fusion and poor posture by skulking my way through life, I lacked the muscle memory for proper posture for decades. I stumbled across Dr. Berg's first three standing stretches and can vouch for their benefits over several decades. I had never seen #4, but certainly see the benefits and look forward to using this stretch. One that I do that I've never seen anywhere else is quite simple. I begin with the basics of chest out, tummy in. With feet nearly together, I begin to reach as high as I can. As I progress, I accentuate on focusing on all major and minor muscle groups, stretching and aligning my head over my shoulders, my torso and back centering them over my hips and ultimately my feet. I slowly release the tension while maintaining my posture. I feel as though I've regained an inch or two
Yessss !!! More videos like thisss !!!
I really appreciate this. I’m 32 and at 22 I had something pop in my neck. Over a few hours the pain was so bad I couldn’t move. I was literally locked up from extreme pain. After the incident I started to see a chiropractor for the first time since I was an child and they diagnosed me with osteoporosis in my cervical spine and also said my neck had lost its curve. I was recommended a chin tuck exercise to restore the curve but have never stuck with it. 10 years later and I’m in much worse shape. My job (solo house cleaner) is very aggravating to my condition and if I don’t stay on top of my magnesium glycinate supplements, I deal with a lot of pain, tension, and migraines. I’m going to try these stretches.
Incredible! First time I did this felt sooo much better! Definitely post of my daily routine. Thanks so much
Most welcome!
This workout was so quick and great feeling all over my upper body, instantly! Will definitely keep doing this everyday. 🎉
If you can do something just as quick for the lower body, i would love that !!
Your channel should be prescribed to everyone including doctors!
Thanks Doc!!! I have been working out for years and doing too much weight and overdevelopment of my chest and front delts led to bad posture. Can't tell you how much these exercises have helped.
*Larry Burkett's book on "Giving and Tithing" drew me closer to God and helped my spirituality. 2020 was a year I literally lived it. I cashed in my life savings and gave it all away. My total giving amounted to 40,000 dollars. Everyone thought I was delusional. Today, 1 receive 85,000 dollars every two months. I have a property in Calabasas, CA, and travel a lot. God has promoted me more than once and opened doors for me to live beyond my dreams. God kept to his promises to and for me*
There's wonder working power in following Kingdom principles on giving and tithing. Hallelujah!
But then, how do you get all that in that period of time? What is it you do please, mind sharing?
It is the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US and abroad are getting so much from it, God has been good to my household Thank you Jesus
And thanks to my co-worker (Michael) who suggested Ms Susan Jane Christy
How can I start this digital market, any guidelines and how can I reach out to her?
TY Dr Berg. I find nutrition etc fascinating. I think I’m well versed but I ALWAYS learn something new from you!
Great stuff! Not that I'd expect anything different from The Good Dr.
I've actually did routine 1~3 unconsciously sometimes. I just felt they are good to do and my body feels great afterwards. Today I finally know they actually have a names, and its fascial stretch !!
Thank you.
Great. So powerful and perfect for a person who isn't in good shape like me. So you don't have to do a lot of reps to get a good work out in. I did this and feel so worked out by doing so little! Each workout was just right. This series was so efficient.
Love your relevant, extremely helpful videos! Bless you ❤❤❤❤
Ive been an athlete since i was a kid, i notice bad postute and acid reflux will make cough alot more, excellent video

Saved it on my workout list. I have terrible posture after I work. Thanks for this.
Very welcome, hope it helps!
Thank you Doc
Windmill stretch while holding a weight on your arm you hold up and hold your bodyweight the other arm. Works best when down on one knee. Push away from the ground focusing on the shoulders pushing up while stabilizing the shoulders. You will feel the activation of the muscles between your shoulder blades and will straighten you up. Done this as my warmup for the past 6 months.
How can it be, that this video is up less than a day and yet there are many people writing: "10 years of pain and thanks to this video, no more pain" etc.? Bots? Bought comments? This is very fishy.
Try it 🤷♂️
Placebo more likely. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to discredit the video, just saying a lot of people are looking for "the solution" that will solve everything. Typically every new thing they try solves it, until they forget about it and move on to the next "solution" a few days later. Then again, for a channel with millions of subscribers, it only takes one guy to get their pain healed to make a comment like that. Also people like to overexaggerate.
My pain completely is went away. This doctor is real
There are similar videos, he didn't "create" that
Why are you so negative? Get psychiatric help.
Just began dealing with costacondritis, VERY painful. Suspect these will help immensely. Blessing!
4:50 "you're going to sleep like a baby" So, you're going to wake up crying every two hours? 🤔 😂
Great of you Sir. Protecting of our bodies with this exercise is ultimate. So kind of you❤
ty
Thank You Dr. Berg, I am going to start them tonight because of my whole back.
Very cool! Thanks doc 👍
Wow! You are a jedi, I was just crying out to fix my crouch, as I'm a panel beater and always crouching over... cheers Dr Berg ❤
wow funny i have been doing these exercises for years but without a stick.i am a construction worker and i have been doing it to stretch my body before i start work
Can't wait to try these moves because I desperately need the help in straightening my posture.
But I'm healing from a fractured collar bone, so it's going to be a while. ☹️

Thank you 👍👍👍👍 I’m stuck at a computer for hrs a day and have that awful posture you speak of. I will be trying your advise asap! 🙂
This is yoga..
The classic Yoga doesn’t recommend any Tool.
Great timing for this video. I am 63. I noticed, while reviewing videos from our home security system, that when I was outside walking around, I am getting this hunched forward posture, I guess from sitting in front of my computer all day. I do NOT like what I have seen. Honestly, I did order, last week, this strap system that is supposed to correct your posture. I haven't received it yet. But in the meantime, I am going to try your exercises. Someone had told me to keep reminding myself to sit up straight and imagine a straight rod up-and-down my back. And force myself to "look upward".
wool socks to bed=life changing sleep quality⬜⬛

Gross. I cannot sleep with socks on.
Dr Berg. I've been watching you for many, many years and seeing that you have 12 million Subscribers is fibulas. You give the public something it really needs and I'm glade you get the reward for it. Some people have a lot of view and they don't deserve anything.
Dr.Berg, you are the best . You doing a lot for people health. Thank you very much for your kindness and compassion. God bless you ! ❤
Really appreciate, you are very welcome!
