I don't have social anxiety (really shy though) but I always look down (because when I do it, I feel like people can't see me). And my shoulder is hunched forward.
I keep hunching my back due to thinking it's weird to be the taller person in class. I am full of regrets now. Sometimes i think confidence might help me back then
it will. think of this: you are tall, you got certain physical advantages, bottom line. you naturally attract attention from your fellow humans, either neutral (oh, someone's taller than me. ok) or positive (wow, he's tall.......). it's gonna be bad mostly if you don't take responsibility for what you are, and that's true for any trait, simply because it shows. do you tell the truth, are you a decent person? so go grab what's yours, fight for your purpose, your height will help you even against some resistance you may find in your way. don't hide, or you will suffer. I've been 6"3' since I was fourteen, and took me forever to realize those things. It's all connected. Keep up 👊
My posture has always been bad even when I was a child. I think it’s probably to late now to fix it because I am over 80 but I would like to improve my posture if there is any exercise that would help. I like this woman’s exercises better than any other exercises that I have seen. She gets right to the point and I appreciate that.
In my mum's school days - way way back the girls used to have deportment classes, teaching good posture. In my day this was seen as a bit "fascist" (!) so I have slouched my way through life unfortunately.
then my question to you is is it still a good posture? How do you know a good posture? People talk about posture as if one fits all, and there is only one correct posture, which is a problem. Subjective comfort is never accounted for the idea of "good posture" which is very problematic in my opinion. Good posture if truly good has to be comfortable and efficient and natural, so you feel like you are at home, feel easy. Babies don't think about all these things (good posture, bad posture). They move the way they feel. If they don't feel good, they adjust and find a way to move and sit more comfortably. As we get older, we lose touch with our own body, and ask others how we should move, which is very unnatural and funny if you think about it.
Bless you dear! Just came across your video this evening and plan to start (slowly) through your exercises once the back brace and bands arrive. Again, Thank you. Your a God sent 😇 I will also share with friends and family 😊
For me, growing up a very tall computer nerd that was obese from ages 19-23 is not a good combo. Constantly looking down and constantly slumping. I’m about halfway to a healthy weight, but I’m focusing on getting that posture back, that double chin gone, and someday getting some muscle in place of the fat. This video is a very good start for addressing the posture
I have been following all your videos and I recommend your videos to those who have any issues with their body...your videos have helped me in getting relief from my back pain which I had since a long time...Thank you again..
I’ve never been taught good posture growing up, but my moms side of the family did, so I look so bad sitting next to them. I want to improve that. Thanks.
When I was in elementary school, I grew taller than many of my classmates and developed horrible posture that only got worse as I got older. I took on habits that only worsened it (like sitting at the computer all day). I fell in love with rollerskating a few years ago and I know it's all over the place now and you may be sick of hearing about it but I find that skating (because it's such a workout for your lower back and core muscles) in combination with regular yoga was the only thing that truly ever helped my posture. I just have to get myself to start doing it all regularly again... lol
I have really bad posture because as a small kid I liked to sit in front in class but I was always the tallest so I had to slouch so the other kids wouldn’t complain. Then when I moved to highschool I had to put a heavy bag on my back everyday so I’d/ still do lean forward so I don’t fall over.
Since I found you,i understand my injuries from accidents i had. I have been healed only with stretching exercises like the ones you show us. You have brought better exercises many times. You are such a loveable person. Thank you for your help.
I'm visually impaired so I have to do a lot of leaning and crouching down and that has impacted my posture quite a lot, hoping to correct it with the help of this video, its one of my goals this year! Thank you.
Wow. I'm a 73 year old lady and I have really bad posture. I realized I am developing a Dowagers hump. I started doing some of these exercises and using a posture corrector. I'm a little bit sore. I hope this helps. Thanks for the interesting video.
I have to first say I am a Clemson grad, but man I love your channel and you have helped me tremendously with a variety of issues including tendentious....thank you so much and I will be donating to your patreon soon - thanks so much
Ok, I ordered and just received this brace on your recommendation and through your link. I have a desk job and roll forward like crazy. I'm hoping with intermittent use of this brace I can make some improvements to the rounded shoulders and forward head posture I have developed.
I have always had bad posture but after my first kid I my posture became so much worse and now on my second kid I'm trying to stay healthier and trying to get my posture back.
Thanks 🙏 for your videos, I fixed my lower back pains for good. I like these short videos, your sense of humor and the friendly, reassuring tone and rhythm of your voice.
thank you so much lately ive been having a hard time breathing because of my posture after i did these exercise i felt better i will keep doing it starting today
Could you make a vid about the “proper” posture while staring down at our phones all the time? I know it sounds kinda silly, but I feel like my posture got thrown off by being on my phone so much (a lot of it is for work so I can’t just not use my phone). My whole life I was a dancer with perfect posture but now I’m starting to feel some aches in my neck sometimes when I wake up. Do you have any tips on how to properly look down at your phone with the least stress possible to our head, neck shoulder area? I feel like I’m jutting my chin forward. Should I be stretching my neck more up as I look down and keep my chin tucked? IDK it’s really bothering me.
Interesting, the hand clasp exercise behind the back made me realize how tight my right shoulder is. I felt how much tighter it is than the left shoulder. I had a cold shoulder that I move now to reach behind my back to the middle but it still doesn't feel as relaxed as the right side. I guess since then I've been sitting with poor posture and it doesn't help that I sit at my desk for a 10 hour working. Even with breaks and lunch . Thanks for your tips.
Ugh, this is going to hurt. I keep trying the pain won’t go and I do hunch my back and tend to put my shoulders up without being aware majority of the time. 😞 Hope I can kill off the habit! Thank you for this video
I’m tall it’s one of my biggest insecurities because of that I slouch to look shorter but it has gotten bad and I look kinda dumb doing it. So I guess I should try to fit my posture a bit
I have mild Scoliosis so my grandma bought me a lumbar support I don't really use it a lot and I stopped doing the exercising and my back hurts more often now so am gonna go back to it to get my back fit💓😌
Trying to get healthy again i was a long distance runner as well as 400 dash used to be super healthy I never thought I would ever let my self get to this point but what are you gonna do 🤷🏾♀️ I’m working on getting back my athletic build but I feel disappointed when I began running again my posture has completely went to trash and it’s impacting my speed and endurance it’s so heartbreaking how far I fell but using your tips I’m going to work on my posture thanks !!
I had good posture before but it seems like am above the person? bc I'm tall (5'8) and the person will often be intimidated by my height so it made me want to hunch over so I don't scare them 😭 now since I'm in online school I don't have to worry too much, my neck is hurting so bad now as a consequence so I'm trying to get my good posture back haha, thanks for the video!
I've always had problems with my posture and I'm even having problems doing these, it either hurts or I can't move my body like that. I have hypermobility syndrome aswell as fibrous dysplasia. Tried to find someone who can help me irl but most people don't really know how to help me. Might get that strap thing, I've noticed some improvements with wearing a corset but it only works when I'm wearing it. Sometimes I have so much backpain I'm lying on the floor crying.
doctor jo i am a medical student and you know we are busy more doing studies, so as from past three days i have pain and usually tingling and spastic pain in the inferior region more medially its on right back i dont know what to do if u make a video or reply me it will be ur kindness...!
Hi Dr. Jo, absolutely loving your videos - they've helped my neck and shoulder pain so much! Question - the posture correction brace is not available in the UK, which one should I go for please?

Hello doctor
Please tell how to buy good quality neck belt because there are so many feck brand are available.
Hello doctor
My body under my chest seems to be separated from upper part
Please give me advice accordingly
My posture is bad because I have social anxiety so when I walk, I always face down at the ground to avoid eye contact 😔.
Same... But not really
Just kind of like me
I don't have social anxiety (really shy though) but I always look down (because when I do it, I feel like people can't see me). And my shoulder is hunched forward.
this is me all the time but not because of social anxiety just because i don't want to see people.. hahhahah
I’m the same, but also with being tall, I constantly look downward :(
I keep hunching my back due to thinking it's weird to be the taller person in class. I am full of regrets now. Sometimes i think confidence might help me back then

Being tall Is cool afffff
@@gc8972b DAM THATS SO COOL
@@gc8972b Thank you for this...👍
I don't know if it's because of how I sit, every time I tried to sit straight, and almost a minute I'll get back pain.
Same
Because your body is so used to sitting so bad, when you sit ‘normally’ it’s straining those muscles
@@brookefesta so what can we do to fix this?
@@nisalo exercise!
Ture yar
This is what youtube for : ) Some people hate TH-cam . For me i use youtube for learning to keep me fit and healthy : )

My posture is only bad because of the books that were in my backpack and no we didn't have lockers in our school
Same🤧
Same😭
Same also my mom has scoliosis so :P
every middle-school filipino ever
Sameeeee ToT
Posture is honestly so important and I hope everyone who is doing more online classes have started doing this !
In my mum's school days - way way back the girls used to have deportment classes, teaching good posture. In my day this was seen as a bit "fascist" (!) so I have slouched my way through life unfortunately.
Something that I’ve found is rolling your shoulders back. I learned it in elementary school music class, and I’ve done it ever since. It really helps!
I love your teaching method. Thank you so much. I'm 73 and this is great information. It's a joy watching you.
Thanks, and you’re welcome!
@Pat Pinckley I can across your video on Neck mender blueprint - there's lots good videos there that will help you
AskDoctorJo I want to get rid of fat deposits in my arm pits any exercise for that
Are you alright?
I just relized how bad my posture is thank youu
You're welcome.
Our school tables are so low and the chair is high. I get so much back pain and bad posture from sitting all day in school. I don’t know what to do.
And i actually love doing the exercises, your sense of humor, the dog and your encouragement make my day, thank you doctor Jo♥️

Thanks! Glad they helped.
Perfection.

@D E A N xD
My posture is so bad to the point we’re I have a line on my stomach and I’m very insecure about it. I’ve had it almost my entire life.
You think that's bad,I have 4 lines on my stomach and when I sit it looks all shriveled up
Everyone has lines on their stomach! It’s a natural thing our body does. It’s still good to improve your posture though💖
Line above the navel?
Line? If its not too uncomfortable, is like a horizontal one or a vertical one. Please explain
@@Keevstar i think by lines they mean folds on their tummy
"Push your chin back"
Me: casually flashes everyone my double chin
MEEE
omg yuzuruuu

How long did it take for you to correct your posture
I've always had problems with my posture and I'm even having problems doing these, it either hurts or I can't move my body like that. I have hypermobility syndrome aswell as fibrous dysplasia. Tried to find someone who can help me irl but most people don't really know how to help me. Might get that strap thing, I've noticed some improvements with wearing a corset but it only works when I'm wearing it.
Sometimes I have so much backpain I'm lying on the floor crying.

Hi Dr. Jo, absolutely loving your videos - they've helped my neck and shoulder pain so much! Question - the posture correction brace is not available in the UK, which one should I go for please?
Thanks! They are all pretty similar, so I would just look at the reviews to see which might be the best fit for you.
