    I once saw from the corner of my eye someone on the subway with perfect posture. I immediately noticed my posture was terrible. I didn’t want to fix my position quite yet so I waited 15 seconds and sat up straight. Never forgot how amazing that person’s posture was!

    Do this in a real office. Keep making more of these videos. When I fixed the ergonomics of my work computer, chronic back pain disappeared. Knee pain decreased Now at home, I'm trying to get my home office better, because my neck pain is aggravated. It really makes a difference. But you guys are using non-office chairs in these lat 2 videos. It really helps. Thanky you!

    As always great advice. Like I've mentioned I work in OT and constantly reiterating how important change of position is every 10-20 min. My son is 6ft 7 and works on computers all day and has neck, arm and wrist pain so evaluated his work station, screen height is important as well as arm support , I love the office chairs with adjustable arm rests for height adjustment as well as width in/ out from your side. Thanks again for all the great advice and reminders :)

    I have ankylosing spondylitis, and it's gotten to the point where I am in constant pain. I watched this video and took the stool suggestion for shortness to heart. Used my cat carrier as a temporary stool, and I instantly noticed a big difference. I'm so short that my feet cannot lay flat on the ground. Now they can in a makeshift way!

    Just want to add another key point I figured while dealing with lower back stiffness from sitting -- trying to think you're doing a relaxed breathing style/yoga posture of sorts while trying to sit -- and feel all of your shoulder and other joins feeling the freedom/looseness while taking few deep breaths seems .. all without actual table/desk/pc near your .. seems to help figure the appropriate height adjustments (as to where to place desk/chair/keyboard rest).. Thanks again!

He first introduced us to towel roll therapy years ago. My perspective on this issue at this time is to get a chair with no back. That is a very fast reminder, eh? You learn fast!

    As you guys point out, it feels strange and unnatural to sit like this at first. But it will likely give you killer abs :). It's funny how many of us in now in our 40s or so were told that "posture" was such an old-fashioned, schoolmarmy concept, and now we are paying for 20+ years of bending over computer keyboards, laptops and game consoles.

    nice! but this part was intuitive (to me at least) what I'm really looking for is some workout to help you fix your posture, I'm already doing few but I think they are nice but not enough...I would really appreciate if you make another vid and talk more about the muscles used while sitting and how you can train them
    keep up the great work guys!

    • @Joegengstah
      @Joegengstah 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A bit late reply but in case you are still looking, these are exercises I would reccomend for anyone with a spine, especially office workers. Choose and adjust to your own fitness level and situation.
      - Train transverse abdominis (not sit ups, they dont help posture). The muscle stabelizes your lower back and also needs to be slightly active at all times when sitting straight to avoid back pain and compensations further up the chain. This part is often ignored and the muscle is shut off while sitting for many. If you can't maintain a stable slightly extended lumbar spine, there is no way to maintain good neck and shoulder posture. Eventually once this muscle is strong and you practise sitting properly, this will happen automatically.
      - Make sure you have sufficient thoracic extension by doing mobility and strength drills for it. This one is self-explanatory, if your spine doesn't have the flexibility and also strength in that new range of motion, you can't sit straight very easily and will fatigue quickly.
      - Stretch tight tissues like your internal shoulder rotators (pec minor and subscapularis). If your shoulders are internally rotated it will pull you forward in a rubber-band style, you won't be able to sit properly because these muscles will be working against you, and the opposing back muscles will be shut off. Its important that you keep the internal rotators at proper length (usually they are too short), and the external rotators strong(usually weak and lengthened). Consider adding external rotator exercises. Before doing any shoulder exercise, stretch the internal rotators. This will ensure the proper back muscles are allowed to contract and get their full range of motion, so you can exercise your muscles with good posture.
      - When mousing and keyboarding a lot, the muscles that keep your shoulders back (middle trap and rhomboids) stretch out and weaken, and your shoulders can even start sloping down. This often causes pain between the shoulder blades or the traps, and it makes it difficult to sit up straight with little effort. It is important to realize that even if stretching them or massaging them feels good, it will worsen the root cause, if weakness is the reason it feels painful/tight. This concept sounds weird to some, that muscles can feel tight but be weak- and it makes many stretch and massage when they should be strengthening. Consider doing straight arm shoulder abductions with a light band to counter the effects of gravity and computer work. Another good exercise is bent over dumbell rows (retract shoulder blade before each pull or keep shoulder blade back and stable during the whole exercise).
      - Do chin tucks with resistance; on all 4 facing down or use resistance bands. Science has shown that this simple exercise greatly reduces neck, back and shoulder pain. It accomplishes this by strengthening the muscles that hold your cervical spine in alignement, decompresses the neck through the natural lengthening of the neck that occurs when the deep cervical flexors are strong, and also as a result frees up nerves to help in case some are getting pinched. Doing this exercise also reduces the activity/pain of the upper trap, SCM and scalenes, which can cause problems for many with or without realizing it. When doing the exercise its important your neck lengthens in the back as you do a nodding-head retraction, without looking up or down, just straight back. Keep everything else still and relaxed, only your neck should move.
      -Make sure you do the exercises with proper form and BREATHING, otherwise you are just teaching your body how to compensate and get stronger in the poor posture.
      Good luck! ~~Joe
