Eric is probably the only evidence based, sophisticated, articulate healthcare professional on TH-cam. I truly have the utmost respect and gratitude for him and the his channel.
I am SO happy you mentioned headaches! I've been really working on stretching this area lately and have what feels like tension headaches so I was so confused. I appreciate you mentioning this as I work on better posture.
22 years old. Fwd head posture for probably like 10 years without doing anything about it. 2nd shoulder impingement this year led me here. These exercises show immediate relief for my pain. I will try to stick to it so once my shoulder has calm down i can focus on my hip and knee exercises again. Thank you guys, I wish you the best
@@PrecisionMovementCoach Coach Joshua, have you seen patients such as the experience of the first person who commented who have been in this state now more chronically for several years, revert their condition into normal posture? Or would you say that for someone who has had this from adolescence to young adulthood to adulthood, their are permanent degenerative changes- ligament laxity involved that prevents a completely normal posture from being attained?
When I do the Lateral Neck excercise I feel an incredible tension in my jaw muscles . Feels like i finally found a video that will help with my stiff neck and tinnitus
Been dealing with forward head posture along with a mild form of scoliosis and have been very self conscious about it since my mid teens. This is exactly what I'm dealing with and the daily pain is awful. Thanks for this vid, it was explained very well and so helpful.
Finally someone figure this out Ive spent 100's of dollars on phisio doing rotor cuff exercies but I always shut my mouth becausevIm no doctor But somehow I always knew that how can you straiten a shoulder in a crooked frame, Sice Ive been doing posture exercises my impingment has improved Good work .
You've done it again! This logical progression from the "Desk Jockey" series addresses an epidemic in the digital world, and for us older folk as well, whose professional life kept us at a desk or with head bowed to do close work like welding, sewing, cake decorating etc. I cannot tell you how many of my friends show up wincing with a diagnosis of compressed or deteriorating neck disks. When I lay on my back, I cannot touch the floor with my head! For now I use a foam roller as a pillow. I expect that eventually I''ll be able to dispense of that if I keep up this series. Your illustrations with the good Doctor were very helpful for understanding the subtleties. Thank you!
I've been actively trying to fix my back/neck/shoulder pain and forward head posture .. but doing it with degeneration between every disc in my spine , im 32. So the past few months, every day.. I work on it. Currently have a pinch somewhere that's causing bad pain in my left shoulder, between the shoulder blades,going up into my neck, lower back, down into my left elbow and into my forearm. The last time this happened I lost feeling through half of my left hand for about 3 weeks. I'm glad I found your channel because it seems to be more in depth and effective than a lot of others

I knew I had some forward head posture, which was not good but I didn't think it was too serious. Until recently. I went to an emergency room because of chest pain and in the hospital they found I had atrial flutter. I didn't expect that because I had none of the risk factors (obesity, smoking ...) - except one: obstructive sleep apnea. That itself was something I had none of the risk factors for - except FORWARD HEAD POSTURE. I am, naturally, *extremely* motivated now. Thank you, thank you, Coach E!
@@Juggernaut365 I'd have to record myself to know if I snore and so far I haven't done it. I've just begun to do exercises for sleep apnea (tongue, throat, &c.) on TH-cam from a chiropractor, Adam Fields, in addition to Eric's. I think the combination is promising, but I don't expect a quick fix; maybe like three months.
Sorry this scared me to death. I have health anxiety and at one point I was fixated that lying in bed my head was a little more forward on the pillow of what it should be (I don't know if that is true or not) so I couldn't sleep at all trying to find perfect spot for my head (laying sideways). After I forgot doing this I feel mucn much better ... and now your comment simply freaked me out I'm probably not going to be able to sleep anymore 😭 Can you explain this forward head posture? How does it affect your sleeping? Do you have to do anything while you sleep, what type of pose do you sleep in. Sorry that got me extremely worried, please reply!
So very grateful for you both. Most informative explanations and video. Most of all thanks for caring! I’ve had this for 40 years and now in serious pain along with TMJ. I am starting with these excercise today!

This will help me tremendously. Thank you so much for caring!
The exercises with the peanut really opened up my thoracic spine better than anything I have done for the past six months since I was diagnosed with costochondritis after eliminating all over causes of my extreme chest pain.
Thank you so much ! I'm 33 years old with upper back pain and forward head posture for quite a while. It seems like we got a problem in the family with that cause my dad and my uncle have hunchback posture. Only doing these exercises 4 times since yesterday and I already feel more upright with 80% of the pain gone. I'll try to do these 4-5 times a day and see how I'll do over time. Thank you so much it makes life way easier already ! Eric

Many beneficial tips presented here, thank you very much. The strecth in 7:32 did wonders, added that to my stretching/relief regiment I do every other day. Your channel content is a gold mine.👍
Congrats! You seem to have helped lots of people judging by the comments. Before looking at them I was sceptical because my belief is good posture is to have a good extension between shoulders/toung and chin. At least when it comes to mental gains.
These exercises worked wonderfully. They worked better and faster than what I learned in physical therapy on two different occasions. I've seen two different therapists for about 6 weeks at a time with a couple years in between and I only saw results after one physical therapist but it took 6 weeks. After only doing these exercises for a few days, I am effortlessly holding up my posture and I have relief!!
Good motivation for everyone, facing that challenge... Get your neck free! A forward head posture might very well have also a psychological impact.. Breathing well is clearly linked to feeling happier and more confident. A bad breathing causes anxiety and stress Body-mind axis. Changing one's posture is changing one mind.
I can feel the muscles in my neck and back working. Thank you for this :) I'm trying to fix my posture and neck hump...although school and doing art are kind of making it hard to fix it😅
Thank you for the headache warning. I always feel discouraged from doing this chin tuck exercises and scm release as I always have headache afterwards!
@@PrecisionMovementCoach Could this also also fatigue back of neck and head muscle to the point as if i have difficulty keeping your head up? Thanks for all your work.
@@Cornbread671 it should not elicit that kind of reaction. Those muscles are quite strong. You might experience initial mild fatigue but it should subside as soon as you stop. - Coach Joshua, Team PM

Great. You guys are straight as a board. I've been doing a bunch of exercises to deal with my posture targeting the neck, mid back with face pulls, hip flexors and spine stretching. This is more I'll do at the gym this week.
Really found this video valuable and provided some different techniques for aiding in correcting my thoracic stiffness and poor posture. Particularly the segmental thoracic mobility with the peanut balls: I found it extremely difficult to keep my head on the ground in my 4th and 5th areas up the T-spine. The side to side portion of that movement really tested my pain tolerance but rewarded me with a couple of nice cracks and I felt amazing when I stood up. Similarly, the DIS: Shoulder flexion/lumber extension movement really identified that I have been activating my T-spine erectors/rhomboids incorrectly. Thanks guys :)

1) The one at 17:40 is easy to do when at the computer. if i ever see clock hit either x:00 or x:30 throughout the day, i just stand up and do it. Really feel it in the side shoulders and feels good. Sometimes i miss it. 2) Another thing i've done, at 12:00, i don't have a foam roller yet. But i fold up an old pillow and it seems to work. So, when i got to bed, i lay on my back, with a folded up pillow under my upper spine, and i lay in day in that area (sometimes changing) for about 30 minutes. I do this before sleep. Really helps i feel, i try to keep chin tucked and neck flat on my bed. Bends my upper back into the i want it to go, to straighten spine. I have been doing this 3 days now. Also changed the way i sleep.. ill try to keep it up. i think it may have made a small difference already for neck posture. Thanks!
You do a great job of explaining and demonstrating. I so recommend Precision Movements. I’m 65 and being an artist, I’ve hunched over all my life. I’m ready to make this better with your exercises.
Wow.. that downward dog -ish* like movement, it's amazing, so is the supine tuck move but the lumbar, thoracic hold w/neck extension, that really helped sort out my posture.. the final move, that really* helps me be able to move around and handle objects, period! I would need to do this in the am, daily, right now.
Glad that you appreciate the exercises! Thanks for sharing your results and let us know if you ever need more support. Have a super day :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
Glad to hear this is helping you! However, while it's great (and free!), it's still just a band-aid.

Smart specific effective exercise video. He explains key muscles critical to activate that will fix my bad posture. It’s complicated and subtle. I would like if he did exercise shirtless so back muscles involved may be easier to see
My whole torso became almost completely numb over a long period of time and I'm still working on getting back sensation. No one can tell me why, but strengthening my core is helping. But I realized today I still have this forward head posture that i've had since I was a kid. I think this probbaly was the first part of the chain reaction. It really annoys me beyond the numbness because it makes it make more tension to try to take a good breath in general, but particularly in yoga. So thanks for this video hopefully this will be helpful for me :)
Excellent video as usual. Thank you! Coach E and Dr B are my go-to for anything that ails me or my clients as it’s all based on straightforward anatomy and science and the latest studies and research, not gimmicky quick fixes (they don’t work!) I’m currently 5 weeks into their Foundation for Movement Longevity 6 week program and loving it. Also - yes, what is it with the modern car seat pushing our heads forward?!!
This was so helpful for understanding the dynamics of forward fold from mountain pose. Noticing where I was doing the forward head position while folding forward. Game changer right here ❤
wow - just found you and am watching several of your videos while taking notes so I can do the exercises. Like so many others - years of computer work. And the "task" chairs they make are horrible bc leaning back causes you to thrust your head forward and I find my hips slumping too. I'm constantly re-aligning myself in my chair, but my ears are over my mid collarbone now. Great education and I'm looking forward to putting these simple things into my morning routine.

The car seats are THE WORST! My clients are now shaped like their awful seats… day 2 owning my last new car, I got a thoracic cushion to push my rib cage forward and open my chest.. what’s with the head rests being tilted forward?! I offered to go out to my clients cars and check out their posture and correct some things and maybe make suggestions about extra pillows that they can place strategically. It seems to help.

My problem is APT (anterior pelvic tilt) with swayback posture too, meaning I have an exaggerated curve in the lower back which causes the lower abdomen and butt to stick out more than they should. I'm always looking for exercises/stretches to improve my posture because I can't stand seeing myself like this. But so far nothing has really made much of a difference at all.
i had this back in high school, i had no idea until i saw a video of myself walking with it. i then just forced myself to hold my head up properly and i think it helped quite a bit.
Thank you so much for your videos. I have Scheuemans Kyphosis and at the age of 62 I have been told by my Osteopath that it cannot be fixed, that I can work on mobility and strength but that the kyphosis itself cannot be fixed. I have a great deal of pain daily and some of your exercises would be too painful for me at this stage but I am keen to start working on your suggestions. I'm very interested in your thoughts. Thanks again.
I always had the pain in the back of my neck. Can’t cure it for three months, it’s like i slip my head from my pillow everyday. Waking up with the pain that i can’t turn my head to my back. I do the first exercise in your video and it works amazing. My pain almost gone aways just remain a little bit. I’m so happy with that cause i think i could never be cure. Thank you so much.
What the correct order of exercises to fix: Forward head posture Kyphosis/hunchback/rounded shoulders Anterior pelvic tilt What should I first start with?
@@svndvs you should know if ur gonna do it in order, better to start from the bottom up. So pelvic tilt first is the most important. But I would try to make an effort to do all 3 at the same time or it will take you much longer to fix.
Those won't likely address the root cause of the issue as they target more superficial muscles. The exercises in this video target the deep muscles :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM

Wow.. that downward dog -ish* like movement, it's amazing, so is the supine tuck move but the lumbar, thoracic hold w/neck extension, that really helped sort out my posture.. the final move, that really* helps me be able to move around and handle objects, period! I would need to do this in the am, daily, right now.
Glad that you appreciate the exercises!
Thanks for sharing your results and let us know if you ever need more support.
Have a super day :)

Your tutorial for scapula was amazing....it improved my shoulders strength , push ups,n posture ...plz make a tutorial for pelvic floor muscles
Thanks for the suggestion!
I keep coming back to this video because it really is effective. Great work!
Wow, thanks!
It's one of our faves too :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
Glad to hear this is helping you!
However, while it's great (and free!), it's still just a band-aid. If you want to get to the root causes of the pain so it stops coming back - and doesn't get or turn into something worse - check out our Shoulder Pain Solution program :

Very impressed by the science behind the exercises and appreciate the explanations. Diagnosed with Baxter's neuropathy and partial tear in rotator cuff. Looking at nonconventional PT exercises to delay surgical options for as long as possible.
Thanks for joining us and keep us posted on your progress.

Thanks for trying it out!
last exercise in this video is great; worked like a miracle for me. My posture is way better than before!
Amazing!
Thanks for trying it out and letting us know :)

Smart specific effective exercise video. He explains key muscles critical to activate that will fix my bad posture. It’s complicated and subtle. I would like if he did exercise shirtless so back muscles involved may be easier to see
Glad that you like it and thanks for the suggestion!

My whole torso became almost completely numb over a long period of time and I'm still working on getting back sensation. No one can tell me why, but strengthening my core is helping. But I realized today I still have this forward head posture that i've had since I was a kid. I think this probbaly was the first part of the chain reaction. It really annoys me beyond the numbness because it makes it make more tension to try to take a good breath in general, but particularly in yoga. So thanks for this video hopefully this will be helpful for me :)
We are glad that you found this video. Thanks fro trying it out and keep us posted on your progress.
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
how are you feeling now ?
Excellent video as usual. Thank you! Coach E and Dr B are my go-to for anything that ails me or my clients as it’s all based on straightforward anatomy and science and the latest studies and research, not gimmicky quick fixes (they don’t work!) I’m currently 5 weeks into their Foundation for Movement Longevity 6 week program and loving it. Also - yes, what is it with the modern car seat pushing our heads forward?!!
Thanks for following along!
This was so helpful for understanding the dynamics of forward fold from mountain pose. Noticing where I was doing the forward head position while folding forward. Game changer right here ❤
We are so glad that you appreciate the exercises.
Thanks for trying them out :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
wow - just found you and am watching several of your videos while taking notes so I can do the exercises. Like so many others - years of computer work. And the "task" chairs they make are horrible bc leaning back causes you to thrust your head forward and I find my hips slumping too. I'm constantly re-aligning myself in my chair, but my ears are over my mid collarbone now. Great education and I'm looking forward to putting these simple things into my morning routine.
Thanks for following along and keep us posted on your progress :)
This is most precise exercise I see lately

came here from shoulder impingement video -- these first neck stretches are what I do in Qi Gong - now I know the bio-mechanics behind them! Always feel great after Qi Gong!
That is awesome to read!

The car seats are THE WORST! My clients are now shaped like their awful seats… day 2 owning my last new car, I got a thoracic cushion to push my rib cage forward and open my chest.. what’s with the head rests being tilted forward?! I offered to go out to my clients cars and check out their posture and correct some things and maybe make suggestions about extra pillows that they can place strategically. It seems to help.
Car seats are designed to reduce the severity of certain injuries that can result from accidents. They are not designed for comfort or with Kinesiology in mind.

I have put two tennis balls in a sock end, rubber banded between the balls and at the open end; good peanut ball substitute w/ good effect.
Nice!
Thanks from Poland 🇵🇱🌻
Zapraszamy!
This is a very helpful video, i have done something similar like this, it's very effective, thank you for explaining the details of movement !
It's our pleasure :)
My problem is APT (anterior pelvic tilt) with swayback posture too, meaning I have an exaggerated curve in the lower back which causes the lower abdomen and butt to stick out more than they should. I'm always looking for exercises/stretches to improve my posture because I can't stand seeing myself like this. But so far nothing has really made much of a difference at all.

Join a belly dance class. Upward and downward body rolls will mobilise the spine.
Thank you for the chapters.
Very helpful videos
Glad you like them!
Thank you so much for very professional exercises !
👍👍🙏
Our pleasure!
i had this back in high school, i had no idea until i saw a video of myself walking with it. i then just forced myself to hold my head up properly and i think it helped quite a bit.
That kind of awareness is definitely part of the solution :)
Thank you so much for your videos. I have Scheuemans Kyphosis and at the age of 62 I have been told by my Osteopath that it cannot be fixed, that I can work on mobility and strength but that the kyphosis itself cannot be fixed. I have a great deal of pain daily and some of your exercises would be too painful for me at this stage but I am keen to start working on your suggestions. I'm very interested in your thoughts. Thanks again.
Thanks for following along! Let us know if you need more support or exercise modifications :)

Thanks for the suggestion :)
I always had the pain in the back of my neck. Can’t cure it for three months, it’s like i slip my head from my pillow everyday. Waking up with the pain that i can’t turn my head to my back. I do the first exercise in your video and it works amazing. My pain almost gone aways just remain a little bit. I’m so happy with that cause i think i could never be cure. Thank you so much.
That's awesome! You are welcome :)
What the correct order of exercises to fix:
Forward head posture
Kyphosis/hunchback/rounded shoulders
Anterior pelvic tilt
What should I first start with?
There is no correct order and you can work on all of them at the same time :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
@@PrecisionMovementCoach ok thank you! Just gonna start from head till pelvic!
@@svndvs you should know if ur gonna do it in order, better to start from the bottom up. So pelvic tilt first is the most important. But I would try to make an effort to do all 3 at the same time or it will take you much longer to fix.
So necessary in a computer user world! Thanks!
Indeed!
Excellent and comprehensive video!
Glad that you think so!
Helpful information. The last exercise should be called shoulder flexion/posterior pelvic tilt...
Glad that it helped and thanks for the suggestion!
Fantastic video, much gratitude, thank you so much.
Thanks for watching :)
Love the demonstration to better my posture!🤗
Happy to help :)
This is amazing, much needed!
Great!

Thanks! I will try this exercises to fix my posture!
Have fun!
Can you propose weighted exercises for forward head posture? Lat pulldowns, deadlifts, bent over rows, etc?
Those won't likely address the root cause of the issue as they target more superficial muscles.
The exercises in this video target the deep muscles :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
thank you all the way from the swiss alps
You are welcome!
Thanks for pass your knowledge and help many people
You are welcome!
For newbies like me, “t-spine” is short for “Thoracic spine”, which starts at the base of your neck and ends at the bottom of your ribs. 😉
You got it :)
Thanks so much for this. ABout to download the app and will follow!
You're welocme!

Scoliosis forward head posture right rib protrusion
Constantly fighting to compensate
Did the exercises help?
Im not really sure that my head is forward when I watch my phone.. its down but not forward.
It's probably forward.
Re: the wall exercise, what do yo do if your head is so far forward that you cannot put it and your back against the wall at same time?
Do you best and you will improve with time and practice :)
