This is dope bro, posting your stuff on reddit and showing people your back pain treatments can really bring some views in and a whole other audience. Consistency is key
that was the other Olivier Girard I think 😅... there's another guy with the same name, in the same field, who used to be in Switzerland too until recently: www.oliviergirard.com/
Thank you so much! Your integration of pelvic tilt issues contributing to neck & head pain is so helpful. A word of caution however, weight loss itself can cause postural issues-even non-surgical loss. Specifically if that loss was concentrated above the pelvis in thru the upper abdomen. Change in the center of gravity is profound.
I believe the Anterior Pelvic tilt can also result into tight latissimus dorsi and tight hamstrings. I think releasing these two muscles plays a vital role in fixing APT. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Hey Oliver, I just bought a new chair with a nice lumbar support. The only problem is that I’m having discomfort/minor pain when fully utilizing it. Is there a way that I can tell the difference between me just getting used to the chair and the feeling of me potentially hollowing my back? Thank you
You can use this indeed. I always say: my TH-cam has it all; what the Posture Academy brings is more structure within the content, ie a step by step approach.
No, they shouldn't... the abs are here to 1) tilt your pelvis backwards (= go from a hollow back to a flat back). When you sit, Mother Gravity does it for you: you will naturally slouch... 2) increase the pressure in the abdominal cavity. Of course, it can help a bit when you sit but you won't be able to sustain it 8hr a day. Hence, just rely on your lumbar support and forget your abs, unless you sit on a stool without any lumbar support. Makes sense?
I'm not too fan of this idea. There's roughly a 6 cm difference between the back of your head and the mid back most backwards point. Hence, not using a pillow tends to force the neck into extension. You should try many pillows until you fall in love with one, but once you find love, life is better 😂
@@OlivierGirard ok thank you sir, could i also get your thoughts on the softness of the bed, does that matter at all? because when i look at videos they tell me the firmer the bed the better because it helps support a "neutral" spine.
If almost all disc herniations are protruding on the back-side, how can possibly extension be the cause? The APT is myth, and real apt are really uncommon. Please read articles made by Kjetil Larsen
I'm not too sure which part of the video you're referring to... but the link between extension and hernia is a 2-step process, as I explain in this older video: th-cam.com/video/_9hhF6ecQ9s/w-d-xo.html. To cut a long story short, hernia = pressure on the disc + round back. Extension creates muscle tension and shortening, which is a source of compression that has delayed effects: when you round your back, all the muscle tension that you have "stored" presses on your disc and makes it bulge. Makes sense?

Thank you bro! I saw a few weeks ago a peek in the views due to reddit! I had no clue about it but that will now change! Thanks for educating me!!!
@@OlivierGirard I’m having trouble with APT and also my stomach looks bloated even though I’m skinny. Any input?
Hi Olivier ... ive been climbing together with Gilles and you Mount Kenya ..many years ago .

Bless, I needed this.

Definitely, Stefanie... weight issues are massive in terms of musculoskeletal pain and balance. Thanks for reminding us of this!!

Thank you so much ❤️❤️

Can you please give us excersizes to protect neck and to fix neck hump
there's no quick fix... but there's a full 8-week protocol here: th-cam.com/video/9a5wkLnd54I/w-d-xo.html
@@OlivierGirard thank you so much
What is the bad habit you referred to? I didn't get the context.
Can this alone fix our APT? Can we use this to fix our APT without the Posture program?
You can use this indeed. I always say: my TH-cam has it all; what the Posture Academy brings is more structure within the content, ie a step by step approach.
Should your abs also feel tight when sitting correctly, like they do when standing with the pelvis back correctly?
No, they shouldn't... the abs are here to
1) tilt your pelvis backwards (= go from a hollow back to a flat back). When you sit, Mother Gravity does it for you: you will naturally slouch...
2) increase the pressure in the abdominal cavity. Of course, it can help a bit when you sit but you won't be able to sustain it 8hr a day. Hence, just rely on your lumbar support and forget your abs, unless you sit on a stool without any lumbar support.

@@OlivierGirard yes, thank you!
Hello sir, could I get your opinions on sleeping without a pillow and on a firm bed, would this help my posture or damage it.
I'm not too fan of this idea. There's roughly a 6 cm difference between the back of your head and the mid back most backwards point. Hence, not using a pillow tends to force the neck into extension. You should try many pillows until you fall in love with one, but once you find love, life is better 😂
