shouldnt you do some pullups, bent over rows, reversed flyes, squats and deadlifts too, or do you have to do this for a while first before you integrate major exercises?
THANKS SO MUCH! I'm in tears with relief that someone finally understands. When I was 1, I c/o neck pain- fast fwd, diagnosed w lumbar scoliosis. Medical parents took me to a top Philly sports med doc who said no brace, she'll be fine. My tiny then 12 year old self stood up as everyone was saying good-byes and asked "don't I have to do some stretches and strengthening? ' to which he bluntly replied " no". I'm now 58, and have created my own routine born from advice collected from multiple PT, physiatrists, MD, co-workers, yogis, Bob and Brad etc. Every time someone told me to do the chin tuck, push-head-into pillow thing, and I explained that it didn't help, I was told I'm doing it wrong. I suspected it was a lower body problem but just couldn't figure it out. Today I found your video and went through the motions trying to learn the proper positions etc. These tiny movements were difficult for me to isolate (shows me I'm onto something). When I got up I FELT LOOSE IN MY WHOLE UPPER BODY! No doubt I will be sore in spots but will take my time. THANKS SO MUCH! Thanks for being intelligent and intuitive and not afraid to speak up. I'm going to share your videos with my family.
That was supposed to say 11 years old😂
You can watch this mans videos and just fix yourself because he brings the self awareness that develops itself when its understood.
A good illustration of 'the pain is seldom where the problem is'.
We are on the same page when it comes to understanding the root causes of these issues and helping our clients understand the many factors that contribute to their imbalances, deviations or disfunction. Thanks you for putting it out there!
Your videos have been literally life-changing for me. I’m a singer with hEDS and these demonstrations with the skeleton are helping me figure out how to fix my body. It’s such a relief to be able to breathe.
I like how you pointed out we need to look at the root cause of the problem and not just treat the symptom. That makes me think you’re gonna give good advice overall!
I did the last exercise just now, and woow it starts to heat up while Im breathing. Feels like these areas of the ribs was never really moving. Thank you again, cause your exercises really help, everybody is able to do them alone at home, no therapist needed :) you even show us perfectly how not to do it, thats very important :D to avoid pain with wrong movements.Even my grandma is surprised how highly efficient these easy exercises are.
You're the only person I've seen on YT who addresses the rib cage and breathing + hips. Everyone just says do chin tucks and do back exercises to get your shoulders back. Nice job man and thank you! I picked up your body restoration course so will be going through that.
Where can I find the body restoration course please?
He's not the only person who addresses it, you just need to know what to search for
I appreciate that and am glad to provide a unique perspective for you. Enjoy the program!
Bob and Brad do a good supported stretch using a towel. They also do the chin tuck which I never liked. Every time they said on a video 'that feels good,' I said "NO. It doesn't." but the towel stretch is good.
i just do couple hours of random breathing, stretching and excercising for a week now and it aldready feel my life changed, i feel so much more confident and my posture has finally been improving like a lighting, i tried to fix it via running and gym ( obviously it got alot better but something was missing) now i feel like a kid again in my body (i had forgot how that feels like)
You're an angel. I have been doing the chin tucks but it's aggravating my tension headaches and pain radiating down my shoulder.
Eye opening! It's funny because over the years I've heard so many people say that the head a neck follow the shoulders. Nobody ever follows up that the shoulders follow the ribs and the ribs follow the hips. Your explanation made it clear that we tend to focus on isolated issues instead of identifying the underlying cause.
Completed the first 3 primary PRI courses last year. I appreciate the work you put into your videos. Thank you.
Glad you like them!
Subscribed! Every once in a while I'd watch a video and suddenly everything makes sense! Thank you! It's got to do with trying to breathe better. Precisely! In stressful situations in addition to rounded shoulders I suppose a lot of people get the tight stomach or diaphragm thing going too like me. So it's kind of hard to catch my breath unless I do the forward head posture which also has "the added benefit" of getting me closer to the action--the computer or the road if I'm driving. Singing (badly) always helped. Now I know why.
Chin tucks have never felt like they do anything for my forward head posture. This was really helpful thanks.
I am so greatful for your videos. After seeing a chiropractor for 3 years, the idea that breathing could even be a part of the issue was not talked about. I love the logical approach and treating the body not as individual parts, but as the whole system that it is. Thank you!
Bro why has no one talked about this !!! Great video! Thank you
I was told to do chin tucks my whole life it actually caused me damage by straightening my neck in an unnatural way. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you for making this video, I’ve been at my wits end having tried seeing physios (and yes the chin tucks), resistance band exercises, experimenting with my wfh setup to achieve optimal ergonomics, different desk chairs etc only to find nothing helped, in fact my neck and upper back pain was getting steadily worse over time. I started doing these breathing exercises as instructed 3 days ago and my neck and upper back pain has vanished. I can’t believe it. I’m so happy after being tormented for years. All I needed to do was breathe properly. Sometimes when I do the exercises I feel little satisfying “cracks” and “pops” when I inhale and feel my rib cage and back expanding, it feels so good!
This video is a God send! So much info that can help me address some life changing symptoms i have been struggling with! FHP that has cause tight neck muscle which are agrigating nerves and arteries causing major anixety sensations, chronic fatigue syndrome, head aches, ringing in the ears, shortness of breath and heart palpitations. Really looking forward to doing these exercises on a daily routine 😊
Thanks for posting this, perfect timing! I've been thinking of late how to improve as I've been noticing this issue but haven't been able to think of any way to solve it other than some really awkward chin tucks lol.
I've always struggled to breathe (which sounds strange to most people), this is the first time that I've heard anyone link poor breathing to forward head posture. This is really useful, I'm going to explore this more. Thankyou very much👍
I have this forwardhead and kyphosis condition for years and tbh haven't been doing any exercise regarding this. Just simply been living like this but I'm 34 now and it really is beyond unconfortable. SO I was searching and watching videos, still not doing any exercise :') anyways you are the first person to talk about the pelvis and breathing connection on about all this condition. my humble suggestion is that you can add these keywords to this video so that more people can find this. i was watching posture videos and i guess that's why i got this recommendation but never tought that there will be a pelvic exercise from the title.
Great video! Your explanation makes so much sense! Really appreciate you
Thank you very much Conor for getting straight to the point, and not padding your video with a lot of 'fluff' talking. And my experience agrees with your analysis, which is helpful and sadly unusual in the health industry.
wow this is the best thing i have ever tried . it has changed everything with my breathing .
I need to express my gratitude for this awesome material. Thanks a lot for this informations. It's a game-changer for me. I have S-shaped posture with lots of things to work on, but for sure I didn't appreciated the role of the top of rib-cage. I guess till now I didn't take it into account regarding my posture problems, because I had in my mind a slogan "shallow breathing is bad, deep breathing is right". Now I'm starting to realise, that the top of the rib cage should not be passive, underactive and collapsed. It's actually a root factor of the whole problem in my posture. I started to do my gym exercises correcting pelvis alignment + activating top of the chest and after one training I sense really different alignment, I feel clearly deeper change. So once again - thank you a lot!
Thanks so much. This makes a lot of sense to me. All that you explained about the diaphragm breathing and posture relates to me. I have a bad posture and I struggle to breathe properly.
Hi Conor, I love the approach you are taking here, PRI. All the elements, and all the mechanics make logical sense. The practicality of the approach is hindered quite a bit however with certain patients with longstanding connective tissue shortening holding the upper thoracic region in Kyphosis. Similar regional restrictions around the ribs, hip flexors and upper cervical region, are difficult to reverse in a meaningful way. But sometimes small corrections yield big improvements. Your approach is excellent for younger clients and those with dynamic tissue dysfunctions. In my practice, I spent a great deal of time working on restricted connective tissues and in some cases spondylosis. But even as I see some limits to PRI, little would be gained form the typically prescribed cervical chin tuck. Yours is a superior approach. I hope your channel does well. You're going to help a lot of people.
hello! physio who just graduated here,, i wonder if you could expand a little on the menaing of "connective tissue restrictions", and what can be done about that, from your experience. do you mean ligaments?
This video is me 100%, I feel like I struggle to breathe, so much so that I subconsciously stop breathing, then I'll gasp in deep breaths. It's like I have central sleep apnea all day, which I definitely have at night, and use a CPAP for it. I'll give these exercises a whirl, nothing to lose for sure.
I have a recessed chin and breathing issues (detected sleep apnea). I also have forward head posture... what you are saying makes total sense...and every chiropractor I have seen made me do chin tucks and shoulder strengthening exercises which hurt me even more... Will be following your channel for more. Thank you
What do you mean hurt you even more? Did they make your chin look more recessed?
I have chronic neck pain. My P.T. had me doing all kinds of chin tucks and resistance with tucks and various exercises like it to strengthen neck muscles. It always made things worse. Thank you for this explanation.
That’s me at the current moment I’ve been going to physical therapy for about a month and every contact I do the next moment I feel 10 times worse very dizzy or a lot of sharp pain, etc.
Yeah chin tucks at best didn’t do anything I feel….
I’ve had neck pain from a couple of factors, including forward-head posture and hinging my neck. I tucked my chin lots for a couple of months and made it worse. This video explains the true resolution. Thank you.
What has helped you finally? What method?
Great now go and join a yoga class. Cause what he is teaching is basically yoga
@@flashhyden9022 While there are some really great yoga instructors out there, Conor is more knowledgable than like 90% of them. I still agree that people should join yoga classes, but oftentimes beginners get a bad teacher and have no idea that they are doing these exercises with bad form and actually making things worse. Conor is very good at pointing out all of the common errors that people make when doing exercises. They should seek a yoga teacher who does the same, it really makes a difference.
@@flashhyden9022you are incorrect. Don’t reduce any thing that much.
As usual, bravo Conor!! 👏👏👏
WOW Stunning Never heard of this this is SO interesting and informative, thanks for sharing this information. Very logical!!
Thank you for this video, Conor. I've been doing pilates, and it's been great.
Makes sense to me. My physical therapist said the same things, even going so far as to say I had "asthmatic posture ". I said I've never been diagnosed with asthma. She countered with, "When you try to stand with the good posture in teaching you, what's the hardest thing about it?" And I said it was feeling out of breath, with that breathlessness leading to anxiety which exacerbated the problem. For people like me, addressing the ability to breath is necessary for good posture.
You never disappoint !!!!! Thank you !!
Oh man this is so accurate. I always felt maybe my apt has something to do with such posture and this video clearly explained how. Thank you so much for this. I first need to fix my apt is the answer. Because I really feel breathing issue when i do those chin tucks.
Yup Conor! Love the videos. Random question, where did you get that light brown shirt? Or looks really nice! Haha
Thank you so much for your videos! I would love a video on postural restoration and tmj issues.
This first exercise unlocked my lower neck. Felt the pop!
This helped me, thank you so much! One of the ways to manage my IBS
Thank goodness for awesome teachers! Thank you for your awesome video! 💪
This is extremely helpful, the breathing pattern is important!
Wow! I never heard it explained this way before, so interesting!
Good suggestions! I have been told chin tucks by well meaning Chiros for years but to be honest they just put too much pressure on those teeny tiny muscles. I've found that exercises focusing on pelvic support and kind of holding my breath to expand my ribcage up and out, for me with a sunken chest, to be the counterbalance I need while I work out the neck issues. Strength from the pelvis to the core to the sternum really solves a lot of my need for anterior head carriage and has been helping a lot!
Chronic asthma from living in a moldy home.. my posture went to heck always leaning forward to breathe. I'm now in a different environment and need to get my posture back as I heal. Thank You!!
Yeah it got much worse for me when I focused only on keeping the head back. I got numbness and headaches, now i understand why. Thank You for this video! Just bought Your Beginner Body Restoration book, I hope this will help me with my poor posture problems.
Wow..thank you Connor..this is exactly what happened to me..asthma as a young teenager and feeling out of place first caused this for me..then going into a profession of hairdressing that exasperated the problem..I do have breathing problems..
Mind blown, seriously. All these *just do a chin tuck* YTers some even physios are giving some bad advice. I did the chin tuck and my throat hurts, feels uncomfortable, breathing not smooth etc too many problems and I could never continue. This video is perfect. Gonna be trying this soon. If that works out im subbing to this legend.
I haven't seen such a good well-rounded and understandable representation of PRI ideas. It is a HUGE achievement, well done and thank you :)
In my personal experience the best thing that had helped my posture was just doing full body strength and conditioning workouts. Not these head tilt movements. If you strengthen your core through full body exercises consistently I think it will do a lot more to set you straight!
@conorharris Hi there! I just subscribed to your channel. I wish I could do that first exercise, but lying down flat makes me dizzy. Do you have any standing up exercises that could accomplish the same thing?
This is great information, thank you for providing a wholistic understanding
The breathing information is essential to good health! Bravo
Excellent video. Very worthwhile. Thanks!❤
I really like your PRI inspirated approach. I had issues for 5 years and finally resolved it with the help of a local pri dude, its so great.
Whats also really interesting is the sensory input stuff pri talks about, like teeth and eyes, was a big one for me.
I love this guy. Super helpful !!!
I have an anterior pelvoc tilt. My shoulders are rounded and neck leaned forward. As a male, I have a short height (5'4") so I use insoles to increase my height. It also makes my anterior pelvic tilt worse. I like your video. Need your complete course on posture correction!
Thank you for this eureka moment. I tried the exercises and I feel like I haven’t taken a full, unrestricted breath of air like this in years. Even though it isn’t why I clicked on this video I am so glad to have rediscovered the joy of a full relaxed breath; any side benefit on better neck posture is just the cherry on top. Thank you 🙏
Was that when you did the low crab breathing execise?
are you doing these exercises everyday?? If yes, have they improved any of your problems??
Great video and information. I share your frustration with people who has such a reductionist viewpoint
Guau the neck support is truly top level
Hey Conor, I've watched a few of your videos and they seem very informative. I would like to know your thoughts on cervical/neck pillows and their effectiveness and also what pillow you recommend sleeping with for neck pain relief/natural position. Thanks
Appreciate your perspectives sir.
chin tucks helped me immensely, idk what u are talking abt
I think it’s very important to keep in mind other potential contributing factors to forward head (e.g., anteriorly rotated pelvis, increased thoracic kyphosis) but I think you are fundamentally misunderstanding the purpose of chin tucks and how to perform them correctly - they strengthen the deep neck flexors which are lengthened and weak in forward head posture and the exercise should not recruit the SCM. The point is to regain upper cervical flexion and restore proper cervical lordosis. The exercise is not cervical retraction. Additionally, forward head posture puts the SCM and scalenes in a very lengthened position so that they are in a very weak part of their length-tension relationship and work more ineffectively.
Sorry scalenes are shortened *
This is so strongly matching with my personal experiences. I had non-existent core muscles and would sit with rounded lower back with legs up. I would end up with pelvis tilted back (from official anatomical perspective I suppose it's that forward tilt), a lot of kyphosis in thoracic and then forward head. I didn't have the upper back muscles to even straighten myself in lotus like sitting on the floor pose, it took like six months to realize that when I thought I had grown strong enough to sit at my end range, I had actually just reached the turning point and the following year would be starting to gain that actual range. I had never realized it's the core muscles that straighten up the midsection which allows the shoulders to come back and the back to extend, which allows the head to sit back without tension. Starting to work on core and back and also the hip stabilising muscles, I've felt like I've grown taller and my muscles are less tense. If I had seen this early, I would've spent less time with stuff like posture check stuff and chin tuck and whatnot that are trying to fix an individual part, when it was quite clearly the whole chain issue that needed to be fixed and learned away from. Funnily enough, weightlifting and squats and deadlift (and improving in technique and feeling the correct muscles working) did a lot of "heavy lifting" in that process. Far more than some light physiotherapeutic exercises (not that they're useless, they allowed sensing the correct muscles often times and work as great warmups for the bigger lifts to do the job), it was partially just about how weak and passive my body had become and my poor daily habits (playing guitar, sitting at computer in poor static posture for very extended periods). But something that I feel like is important for everyone trying to fix these issues to know is that it takes time. It takes a lot of time. It's not just doing the drills 3 times a week, in my experience you can forget them for a while and start doing them again as well, it's the commitment to allow the results to appear. Muscles grow slowly over time, body adapts slowly over time. The important part is to give it time and keep doing the things that feel like they're hitting the spot. Watching this I have no idea why I stopped doing hip thrusts. It feels like the perfect exercise for someone who lifts weights to learn the correct pattern of activating the muscles and finding the correct shape for the body. Oh and learning bracing was a fantastic, quickly effective thing to learn. It actually started strengthening and growing my core in places that were lacking due to difficulty of activating them correctly in directed exercises because I was so twisted.
Sounds like you need to be instructing. Any chance you could talk more about strengthening the core?
I feel like I have the same as you had. How did you strengthen the core effectively and also the upper back extensor muscles?
great post. thanks
Planks are an effective technique for strengthening core. Do 2 reps alternatiimg between each side start out at 30s each can increase over time. Also few yoga classes would be good for that as well ✌️
interesting
This just validated my hypothesis that my slouch posture and neck hump are due to my pelvic floor dysfunction. Ive been doing dowager hump excersizes for months with very little progress. I realized it was almost impossible to keep good posture unless really working for it because of my weak core and pelvic floor. That made me start thinking about when these problems began. I had great posture before i got pregnant and gave birth to my son. I was even made fun of for how "proper" i sat. After birth and 1½ years of breastfeeding, my posture was destroyed. I thought it was as simple to correct as reminding myself to sit up straight. But without the strong foundation from my pelvis and core its been impossible. Fixing these issues is daunting and kind of painful. It feels like theres a long road ahead of me. But i am happy to have this validation. It gave me a boost of confidence and motivation to start the process of rebuilding my pelvic floor.
You are so right. Breastfeeding causes us to hunch over in addition to holding toddler's hands, picking up little ones, and so on. Freaking A. That dowager's hump is ugly. I wonder if cool sculpting would help a bit??
Is this the channel that suggested good posture when the chest is inline with the hips? You've really helped me with my posture since I focused more on letting my knees bend so I stopped stressing my calf bones
This guy is a specialist in saying one sentence worth of info in ten sentences.
I just can't describe how confusing and frustrating those exercises are. I just can't understand what I'm supposed to do. You just lie there and breath. WTF?
Many of these exercises are about getting your body comfortable with new muscle activations and relaxing the ones that compensate usually. And yes they’re hard even though they don’t look like it.
Totally agree
He is expert on providing confusing exercises in order to sell you coaching. We need data and evidence.
Unless you try them out you will never know if they work or not… just do and stfu
@@user-dy1rf1cw1e I would if I knew what I'm supposed to do. The instructions are unclear.
This kyphosis sounds exactly like what I deal with. When he described how there can be tension in the neck it hit home.
I literally just watched a video yesterday telling me to chin tuck every day talking with the same level of confidence. I don’t know who to believe
Many chiropractors recommend chin tucks. They’ve worked for me. I don’t know what else needs to be said
Figure out what works best for you just go slow see if it's causing any problems so you can back off
He just assumes that your upper body leans forward.
Whats ur opinion on training asymmetrically in the weight room to help offset the left AIC/R BC etc. If yes, how long would you go asymmetrical in your approach until training "normal" again?
WOW THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THIS
Incredible. I was wondering how the neck posture would probably have affect on breathing
My issue actually is a result of a flat foot… which is a result of weaker muscle strength in my legs. My posture (including correcting my foot pronation) are corrected by the exercise of pinching my buttocks together whilst walking. This rotates the knees outwards, corrects the pronation, rotates the pelvis which then adjusts my head. So, I just focus on my buttock muscles and go for a walk. Walking up and down slopes accelerates the correction.
Do you have to concentrate on that every time or did you feel like you naturally corrected yourself over time and don't have to concentrate so much in engaging your glutes?
@@puccarts As the muscles strengthen then it becomes more natural. Opposite to sitting at a desk all day!
@@paulreilly5987 Thanks for your answer, Paul! I'll try and be more conscious of it when I walk. Right now I only use insoles to help correct my pronation but I find after long walks my neck still feels achey from bad posture, so I definitely want to work on this before it gets worse as I age. I'll try this more and try and find some hills nearby. Did you use an incline treadmill at all?
how did you correct your foot pronation i also have flat feet
Thanks. You can see things with subtlety. I am 1/4 of the way through and have already had to review a couple of times. I have been/am a bodyworker. I have spent a lot of time absorbing yt videos and paying attention, for myself and others. At one time in my life I was told that I had no cervical curve (like it was a bad thing) I dont know who said that or what he had up his sleeve to do to me to tell me next. I interrupted and said, Well, I can change that. You see I was well aware that I had been doing a translational backwards move to my head. Fast forward many years and I have old-lady rounded upper-thoracic and have been working on "military chest" (which I know is not the way) and extension. Back up to a wall corner and attempt to flatten, get my head back there without tilting it back. I used to have that "session 10" Rolfing feeling at will and "in the last 5-10 years have lost it. Now I am using my lower belly to hold me up. I know so well that is not the-way. I keep trying bodyworkers and no cigar. But $$$. I am looking forward to listening. Cheers.
This was great! I get clients to correct all points of their posture (hips, shoulders and neck) so it's all aligned but the breathing explanation was gold for me :) Thank you
Hi, how would you go about fixing apt if it did not begin by inactivity/laziness. Ie, if it started by muscle tightness without muscle weakness. Thanks.
interesting. Also.. congrats on the 100k subs ;)
Would you start with a different exercise than going after prox.hamstrings first, if dealing with a swayback?
Genius! Thank you!
The 90/90 feels really good when you are doing it, the lower muscles(?) either side of my spine feel really engaged, I can really feel each breath, and it is surprisingly very restful in a 'yoga' type of way👍
Do you have a video of posture in general? Like the optimal posture in standing, walking, running, sitting, and sleeping?
Excellent infoTHANKS V MUCH
He is so so right I felt the same while doing chin tuck
Hello Conor! Would your Beginner Body Restoration program be suitable when I have very restricted breathing (using accessory muscles) and my pelvis has a real tendency to tilt under me into "posterior pelvic tilt", thus seriously affecting my ability to stack? Thanks.
Very impressive video and communication style, Conor. I'm going to check out your book. I've dabbled (unsuccessfully) with Alexander Technique and Gokhale Method for addressing these kinds of issues. I'm wondering if you are familiar with either and might comment on possible areas of overlap with your book. Thanks!
For anyone who is having trouble fixing this, do full body workouts. I used to have bad posture but fixed it with full body workouts. After some injuries i couldnt keep doing it and my postures gone to crap again, so it obviously works
How about pull ups? Does it able to fix posture?
@@mathiaswilliam3572 I did occasionally do pull-ups, I’ve heard they help. I also did rows and facepulls
Yoga will help posture more than any workouts. I workout everyday but for good posture you need to be limber. Stay limber by moving your body in all directions.
What was the injury caused from ?
@@katiestanley93 not really sure, still trying to figure it out after 3 years of it. It’s back and rib pain. Doctors seems to think the pains caused by my slight scoliosis, and others think I might have a disease or something. I’m working out again and just pushing through the pain
Do you have any additional tips for reversed curvature of the neck, or would these exercises be enough?
I’ve always thought it wasn’t right for me!
Great video!
hello conor, fhp causes receding/recessed chin?
I have this problem. Good vid
I totally get what you're saying. But if I'm in the gym doing squats, then the most common problem seems to be not enough lumbar arch down at the bottom (the so called butt wink) . Would you say that back squats are counterproductive, that they train too much lumbar arch and contribute to forward head posture ? I suppose front squats would be better then ...
Youre my Harris, Conor.
I have a "military neck"---- which I 'm trying to get corrected. I also have upper cervical instability--- My Phys Therapist told me to do chin tucks to help strengthen the inner neck muscles-- but I feel like that's stretching out my neck even more than it is already---and making the military neck situation even more straight. I really don't think the chin tucks are a good idea for me ----- Any thoughts or advice?
This was super informative (love your flexible skeleton! I haveAsthma and I contort my posture a LOT. Maybe you can do a post on Asthma.
Okay, so I've been getting recommendations for mewing for months now and I decided to check what the hype was al about. I'm not unhappy with my jawline or anything but I take a new good habit anytime thank you and my posture is not that great so actually I followed up on the Mckenzie chin tuck included in mewing. Learning about that I was thinking that this is really similar to what I've been taught by a physiotherapist 20 years ago as a teen when they tried to improve my posture but it was only a small part of all the things I had to do and there was a lot more focus on my hips actually. My posture did improve from horrible to better (relatively) but now I after more than a decade of sedentary work my posture challenge has returned. I was thinking I wish I could remember the exact exercises they taught me. Luckily, I clicked on this video because after getting to the point where Conor shows the two exercises laying on the ground it was like time travel :D This was precisely what I had been taught to do and now I can pick it up exactly where I left it! There was an another one though standing next to the wall that reminded me of the chintuck thing but complemented by hip rotation and other focus points specific to my condition. That was more for creating a memory of exaggerated(?) good posture as a point of reference. Thank you for putting this online. I was just thinking I need to shell out hundreds of bucks just to get those exercises back but now at least I have somewhere to start.
Great advice
