Posture exercises are honestly not that necessary if you are already exercising your spine in all ranges of motion! Movement heals and motion is lotion. #stayflexy

"Doctors say a lot of things but that doesn't mean they've done the research to back up their claims" as a Doctor I can confirm this is 100% true.
xD
lmao
Idk why r people surprised about this, it is especially true nowadays when people can just "cancel" you or result in you being fired from your job for choosing not to pretend that a baby for example can come out of a man's pee hole, is it any wonder that you shouldn't jst blindly believe "experts" ?.
Got any research for that?
@@AimiYossajesus christ
"doctors say" doesn't mean doctors said it. It means people are saying they did.
Yeah social media and traditional media loves to misinterpret doctors and scientists. Even this guy has done it before when trying to sell supplements
But they do. I.e. tell their patients that squats are bad for your knees and one should lift from their backs, instead. There are a lot of myths commonly circulating among doctors.
On the same thought process though, it also doesn’t mean they didn’t say it. It means it’s up to you to really decide if they have or Haven’t. And it’s not really far fetched to say a lot of general health physicians do still believe bad posture is the cause of anything and everything spinally related. Particularly older doctors. My own personal anecdotes obviously don’t mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of this discussion but I had two previous primary care physicians and in my opinion they’re both atleast 5-10 years behind on the current literature surrounding exercise science and in particular injury prevention/rehab. It’s not a myth that a fair portion of general health physicians don’t really know a whole lot about exercise or nutrition. You can find some that do but I would put money they’re younger and more humble about their knowledge and willingness to learn.
They are still very uninformed, id say kinda stupid actually.
Blinded by money maybe
@@xGotDemFragzJRx Extremely good points. Thanks for sharing your personal experience. Unfortunately I totally agree with you, and doctors (especially primary care) need to be taught more about exercise and nutrition. I have a hunch that D.O.'s might be better off in this regard than M.D.'s.

@@MyoYoneda I actually have been doing it for some time now and even though im not really doing it constantly, it increased the time that i can stay in good posture greatly. Also it created a habit of staying in good posture so i started to get into good posture without really being aware of it. It sure is a great exercise and commonly told to do if you want to fix rounded shoulders.
@@MyoYoneda The thing David really doesn't go into is that it's the diaphragm that is the main cause of all these problems.

@@MovementbyDavidBro, can you create a workout flex program.
L Lawliet approves
@@Cellyestial ironic, you're explaining the subtext of that bit of video while completely missing the subtext of the comment you're replying to LMAO
My parents and other adults had always mention me slouching. Ironically, when many of them suffer from back pain, I did not. Many also mentioned that they have stiffness in their shoulders and back, while I feel completely relaxed at all times. My mom specifically said to me my sleeping posture is horrible (when we would still sleep in the same room) because she would wake up and see me "curled up like a shrimp" (that's exactly what she said cuz I can't know when I'm sleeping lol). But on hindsight, maybe the "bad" posture was actually thanks to my back flexibility. From then on, I never cared what anyone says about my posture anymore, as long as I feel good and train sufficiently, nothing else matters.
I used to feel weird about bad posture when sleeping because I'd pretty much be extra-slouching and "slouch = bad", so if I curve up even more than I naturally do, that would obviously mean I should be ashamed. Except... shrimping on the bed is comfortable as fuck and it feels like I'm doing an exercise that unrestricts my movement a bit from sitting at home to play games and sitting at work to deliver food on a motorcycle. As it turns out, the solution isn't to stick to the one right posture, but to ensure your body is capable of doing most to all of them. My back hurts because I'm a lazy cunt and don't stretch my arms and barely turn at all, so I'm on the same position for hours a day without changing and, unsurprisingly, being stiff as fuck is not comfortable.
Yeah no shit they have more pain than you - they're like twice your age
@@akalion213 my younger sister and cousins have "good" posture but has back pain as well
Same, u was told I'm slouching but I've never experienced back pain

Hi David I just wanted to thank you for making your videos.
I've had back pain in the past and I've always attributed it to the fact that I was hunching my back frequently due to studying.
But since I've watched your videos, movement and stretching has become a daily habit for me (not even in the form of training sessions but rather movement throughout the day) and I've never felt any back pain since then!
We often say poor posture is due to hunching but it's really just because our bodies are stiff from the lack of movement!
Thank you so much!
Stay flexy sir :-)
Sounds like you don’t even need to watch the video! I appreciate you and I’m so glad you’ve had success with your back!
@@MovementbyDavid Pun intended or... 😅
It's almost like with bad posture, people mean keeping your body in a strained position for extended periods of time.
Proper posture alleviates the strain meaning you can hold that posture for longer without issues. Literally no doctor will go "just sit correctly", they'll always point to an agile lifestyle in some way.
My herniated disks disagree tho. But I don't think any "real" doctors and PT's suggest to focus on posture all the time. Take me, I have back issues, my physical therapists said: "focus on good posture every half hour." Doing this just makes you aware of having a decent posture, but you take on a more natural posture after 5 minutes. For people who have a job that requires them to be sitting the majority of the time, this matters a lot (especially if you don't work out/exercise at all). Actually, the best thing to do, if your boss allows it, is to get up and walk around every 30 minutes. It's more the sitting than certain postures that is the issue.
Changing your posture every time also helps. It's actually worse to be in the "correct posture" for too long.
In my experience, sitting at a a desk seems to lead to stiffness (as he said at 2:35).
When I sit at a desk for a long time I usually I need to shift in some significant way, like putting my leg under me and leaning forward. Eventually that no longer works, and nor do its variations until I've squirmed to a point of needing to get up. Or maybe try to sit on the floor or lay down somewhere to allow even more release.
I avoid using a conscious effort to control my spinal muscles, as it only causes me discomfort. I think if my mind is telling my spinal muscles to hold a position, then they can't adapt to the slight shifts in my body weight, and in relation to how I'm sitting. I think those tiny problems add up, imposing unnatural strain on certain muscles because I'm telling them "straighten up" when all they want to do is adapt.
I've, consequently, never had back pain (except for a few days once because I was really overeating--dunno exactly why). In my experience, if changing to what you believe to be "good posture" doesn't immediately relieve the discomfort, then it's not worth doing.
But I'm glad he's making these claims because, like it or not, most people use TV as their doctor, meaning it's accurate enough to say the doctors are doing 'em wrong, even if it's more the media is. And I think what I just told you puts an end to the need for many chiropractic practices.
"if your boss allows it"
@@georgewinchester6403 which translates to never or I'm the boss' family
Surprisingly, herniated disks also arent the cause of pain.
Wow this video is crazy good.
The transitions, the information, the added effects to make directions clearer, how your voice doesn't get muffled while you move so much.
Thanks for making it.
As PT its honestly frustrating how many physicians in orthopedics (unfortunately also younger docs) refer patients with the task to "improve posture" even tho there isnt any real evidence for the whole "posture thing" like you pointed out- thanks for the video!
My posture "corrected itself" when I got PT for my hips. It just came naturally once those muscles weren't locked down anymore. Coming at it from the angle of fixing posture is, apparently, shallow, but if you have a hard time maintaining proper posture it could be a symptom of something more, something worth addressing for all the other aspects it impacts.
@@jarofbees7259 definitely!
But making a problem out of something that isnt is something that should be avoided
You should get a refund on your degree because all you need to look at are people who have great mobility to see they almost always have great posture. Look at any flexibility/mobility based sport or activity and you will find people with great posture that they WORKED for not that they were born with. Dance, ballet, gymnastics, yoga, tai chi, taekwondo, karate, and many others are all proof of this. The TRUTH is people don't want to do what it takes to get where they want to be from where they are.
@@jarofbees7259 definitely, but making a problem out of something which isnt („bad posture“ especially when the people with it dont have any symptoms) is really frustrating
@@frostedflakes55 nah im good
+ what you said doesnt really have anything to do with what ive written, but yeah might try to get my money back wouldnt hurt
BTW mobility isnt always the answer, can help some people, might worsen other peoples symptoms, performance (and yeah i know that this is a mobility biased community)
You put so much effort in this video talking about scientific evidence, yet you don't show that your conclusion is derived from all the quality data. Going from "doctors say" to "influencer says". Not a trustworthy claim.
I really agree with this. Kinda made me realize how gullible one can get…
Yes I do believe you but please post your sources thanks for all your videos
For example, there was no evidence presented for "posture doesn't matter too much for attractiveness".
I love the greenery in your videos💚. you motivated me to start streching again and i am now way more flexible than i was before
sit in an office for ~10 hours a day, has unexplained back pain, doctor uses least offensive explaination. when in reality our bodies need movement throughout the day. didn't own a car for 3 years and walk 6 miles a day, zero back pain. almost like my body got stronger.
I have to wonder if any pain one might feel that is usually attributed to bad posture has more to do with simply being in one position too long, regardless of what that position might be. It could also be strain due to lack of stabilization in general.
It matters what the position is actually. Lying on your bed isn't likely to cause you any pain until your skin starts literally rotting, of course, but that has little to do with movement/lack thereof. Lack of stabilization comes from lack of stabilizing muscles and since bad posture is usually the result of weak muscles + lack of kinesthetic sense, it's fair to say there is a correlation here.
@@nvmffs I wish lying in bed without moving wasn't painful. I think you have very different back and hip concerns than I do. 😅
The most wholesome way to bring evidence based practice to posture, also as a physical therapist genuinely disappointed in the widespread nocebo claims regarding posture from so many medical professionals. Keep this content up!
I think they mix up cause and effect. Strong, muscular people do look like that, because that is how muscles settle around our skeleton, even in resting state. But unless one has those thick muscles, posturing to pretend they are there just produces another kind of tension that over time leads to shortened tendons and all the bad things that come with those.
Do you have any articles or studies that are legitimate enough to show doctors why I don’t care to “fix” my posture? My posture looks bad but if I force myself to have attractive looking posture it gives me more neck and upper back pain
@@LARISSA.KAY. They are already mentioned in the video :)
@@VolkbrechtI do calisthenics and occasionally lift, and strong posture very quickly becomes mandatory to prevent injury. You need the spinal structure so you don't tweak stuff and wind up in serious pain and/or the hospital. I happen to also have basically perfect standing posture.
Yes, the spine should naturally have those curves. The "bad posture" creates muscle weakness, and it hurts when you suddenly try to change up your posture because now you're using muscles that are used to being in their shortened or lengthened form and these muscles are pulling on the bones. There's upper cross syndrome and lower cross syndrome; you can have both. Easy to fix with stretching and exercise, unless you've spent most of your life like this and the issue is now the bones and not just muscle. How easy it is to fix depends on if it is functional or structural.
This stuff really works!!
I had kyphosis from when I was unemployed, and extremely sedentary due to depression. This exercise fixed it, and now I’m working on stretching the front of my hips and strengthening my glutes and hip flexors to get rid of my severe anterior pelvic tilt.
It’s made a HUGE difference in how my body looks and feels! I’m so glad to see you sharing this stuff with us. It’ll help a lot of people ❤
Also, I have lordosis and that back stretch feels amazing. Thank you
I agree that back pain can definitely be attributed more to stiffness than posture. My back hurts when I've been hunched over a desk all day not because I'm hunched over, but because I've been sat at a desk all day. I find my back also hurting after I've been stood upright for a whole day. It's all about keeping your body moving and avoiding being sedentary. (That being said, I do think poor posture is unattractive as it is possibly associated with said sedentary lifestyle)
But the stiffness comes from poor posture or inactivity as you mentioned
@@frostedflakes55 I feel it's more a result of remaining in a certain posture for a long amount of time, not the posture itself
@chrisallmaras1463 yeah there's a reason why there's a "default posture" in humans: that's where your spine is the most stable. That's where kids will naturally go before life starts weighing on their shoulders lol.
Even if it isn't directly related to back pain, it's gotta be related with risks of injury.
so something that is entirely subconscious most of the time is unattractive to you? wow that's selfish, try thinking a little deeper
@@anomaly3215 picking your boogers and eating them is mostly subconscious yet kids do it all the time, are you attracted to them?

Posture does matter if you want to reduce fatigue and stiffness for muscle groups and reducing joint issues. As a digital artist I have had multiple tablets, one with a screen and others that don't have it, and I can tell you that sitting with my head leaning over my Cintiq screen gave me nasty neck pains that disappeared completely the moment I stopped using the screen portion and looked straight by looking at my PC monitors straight with a balanced head on my neck. Certain poses and movement habits hurt a lot more than others for prolonged work sessions over the course of years, so being mindful of how you use your body will reduce those issues as you grow older.
That said, switching between different postures and stretching help reduce those issues. Moving around a bunch like when exercising helps a lot with making you less prone for injury, but you can still hurt yourself if you aren't careful like with your workload. I've hurt my shoulder that took a few years to fully heal because I was using too much strength when I was working as a cleaner at a gym and needed to use a vacuum cleaner on very dirty floors, which didn't help as I was doing upper body exercises in my spare time as well. My dad got massive joint issues while working with transferring cargo at the airport, which have had really bad consequences for his physical health after his retirement.
To conclude, posture does very much matter if you want to have a healthy body. You don't have to be stiff as a board to have a healthy posture, but certain postures help more than others, whether it's sitting at a desk, doing exercises, or physical labour. Having variety, exercising, and stretching are important for achieving it. As for your outward appearance, posture does very much matter for how you are being perceived. We are all built to read body language and dismissing it would be at your own detriment.
me having Lordosis with very bad pain, went to hosptial, didnt find anything, went to the gym, fixed my posture, pain gone :D
It was probably your lack of movement
Strengthening and enlarging muscles gives support to surrounding structures.
increasing ur range of motion and strengthening your stabilizing muscles is really important. i had crippling chronic had back pain for over a year until i decided to try exercises for my lower back, it greatly improved the issue within a month. i would be cautious to attribute your pain reduction to fixing your posture. getting stronger ALLOWS you to hold a posture for an extended period of time, which reduces strain on your joints.
the root cause is typically just weak stabilizing muscles causing fatigue which causes the joints to turn into the weight bearer, which over time causes damage/pain. i cant say for sure that your posture was related or not, but i do know that it would have to be extraordinarily terrible for it to have made a comparable impact to fixing a lack of joint stability.
it is most likely that your posture "got fixed" simply because your muscles became strong enough to hold yourself upright for longer periods of time, without shifting weight onto your joints, and that the postural change isnt why your pain is gone, but the stability you gained that allows you to hold said position.
@TheShizzlemop may i ask you which lower back exercises you did? I'm having a lot of lower back pain recently and would love to know which exercises are nice for stiff newbies lol
Lordosis doesn’t cause any pain. This girl had crazy lordosis but she was very active and mobile and flexible and never had any pain
She was also an amazing dancer
And after this video I couldn't love you more..Don't get me wrong I'm exercising and actually making progress..but this is really comforting to hear
It's very fun to listen and watch you, keep it up!
Thanks for making your ebooks free. I’d had leg operations years ago and neglected to do a stretching or physio. I will work on your flexibility routines until I can move how I wish too 👍🏻
"posture doesn't make you that much more attractive"
It definitely does. You can't tell me a person with hyper kyphosis is as attractive as a person with a normal spine.
💯
Facts 💯
And for girls, having lordosis looks way better than a girl with a straight back
Now let's just for the fun of the experiement say that the person with the "normal" spine is a person who clearly lacks empathy, they are very into them selves and has an amazing gift of not noticing other people, as they are hyper focused on them selves and what they them selves do.
And the person with hyper kyphosis is a person who's characteristics are almost build around their extreme empathy. They work as a nurse for elderly and do vulanteer jobs for the hospitals.
Who is the most attractive now ?
Do you see what he means now ? the posture dosn't actually change how attractive you are, because that is all based on WHO you are, not HOW you are holding your self or your posture.
Let assume they are the same person same quality but one has a good posture. The good posture will look more attractive anyday to anyone anywhere @@gargoyled_drake
So it's not about forcing yourself to have "good posture" which can cause stiffness and more pain, but instead it's getting off your ass and moving around in all your motions 😮
true
Having good posture is better because it looks better. Being stiff means you have bad posture and are doing it wrong
Good posture doesn’t cause stiffness. Being stiff causes stiffness
@@pyropulseIXXI People forcing their "good posture," causes stiffness, or you look stiff. That's the point. The video literally tells you healthy / unhealthy posture doesn't exist and "good" posture simply comes naturally if you are doing sports, exercises, work out etc.
@@pyropulseIXXI And good posture depends on the person as other people pointed out, lordosis is the "good posture," for women while it's the "bad posture," for men.

So going to do your stuff, u make it look so fun! Thank you!

NAWWWW
Love your videos David! Always good to get some deinfluencing ;) keep up the flexy work!
Your book (3day) has really helped us get more flexible.
If you put out an updated version, or one that concentrates on lengthened partial strengthening, I would be all for it.
Ran though the 4 weeks many times over so far.
I've never been in more pain then when I was attempting to create "good" posture
That's because when you're compensating using other muscles to try to "fix" the posture to look "normal" you're not relaxed. You should be able to be relaxed in all and any position and focusing on diaphragmatic breathing is the key.
For real, was a week in bed cause everything hurted, and also the nerves of my arms gave me weird sensations, cause they didnt slide properly in the new neck to hand distance. Did some exercises for that and i recovered. Then i was able to move forward. Took around a month to feel better and just focus on the exercises. But it will take years to correct it. The trapezius was too thick and short. Been doing 90 degrees shoulders workout.
Hurt @@mildredgh1791
Bro that means you did the right thing
Nah cuz I was forcing myself into extension unnecessarily
This is some surprising information, if accurate. I'm not familiar with the peer literature but I understood that the "text neck" is a thing you get from books, tv, and using "that damn phone". When you are letting your head dangle forward to read a book or phone then you forcing neck muscles that are extended and trying to keep an 8lb head in a strained position for a long period of time. So whether you sit for long periods of time and you collapse your posture, let your head hang over your chest instead of on your shoulders, and remain in postures that are constantly curved, like sitting on a couch, butt forward, spine rounded, head up, then you cause the muscles in your neck and spine to change and adapt negatively to those compromised positions.
These are some great exercises though, and there are a few others to add, especially weighted ones to build up stabilizer strength and good posture support, such as pushups and face pulls. I'm definitely gonna start adding these to my routine.
As he says in the video, doctors like to say a lot of things. The especially bad ones *love* to make up hypotheses about medical conditions but not actually test those hypotheses. The whole "looking down too much causes text neck" is one of these untested hypotheses (well, it has been tested - by actual scientists - and results are: no, smartphone use has no correlation with chronic neck pain.)
I love the video transitions in this!
For those of you who haven't watched his other videos make sure you are comfortabld with deep squats and hang on a bar for a few minutes daily cuz your shoulders ankles and hips also play a role in how good or tight you feel with your body!
Thanks for the video sir!
to be fair, you don't disagree with all doctors. if you look up E3 rehab, the doctors from there, they agree with what you're saying in terms of good posture

The problem is not the posture, but keeping the same posture all the time and get stiff, so it causes pain if you try to switch postures. That's the problem. You need to stretch and build muscle to avoid pain.
hi david, i have a question. All your e books (shoulders, spine, hamstring and hip mobility) are all 3 days a week. can i incorporate all of the 4 ebooks in 1 day? as in can i do the exercises for 1 day for all the e books?

Not sure how it's possible for bad posture to not be correlated with pain. In my experience it most certainly and obviously is. Its just math really, staying out of alignment for extended periods of time literally just puts more pressure on your joints and muscles which can lead to chronic discomfort, pain, and a million other bad things. That's why your videos are so helpful to so many people. No shade on your well done video sir ;)
People are always looking to blame their pain on some small magic thing. When it is almost always just a general lack of movement.
The problem is those two things are not the same. You can be very active and still have very bad mobility and posture.
@@frostedflakes55 Just because you are moving around much doesn't mean you are "active." You are just walking around, not doing exercises, work out etc. Or it's the opposite and you are not getting enough rest, or forcing your body too much.
@fortnight5677 you seem to think I'm talking about myself lol my mobility is pretty high and I play sports and I have no major chronic aches and pains. I used to when I was chronically out of alignment.
Great transitions!
the way this video is choreographed is honestly so incredibly inspiring as a fellow youtuber. Such a beautifully constructed piece of content
well done David
I disagree wholeheartedly about posture not making you look more attractive.
Valid!
Well, that's because you haven't seen me!
good posture doesn't make you more attractive, but it makes you seem more confident and i personally become more confident and thats what people find attractive.
"good posture doesn't make you more attractive, but it makes you more attractive" bro you are unhinged and deranged why are your words like this
It literally does make you more attractive. Having a hunch back is not attractive.
Girls with curved lower backs are more attractive. Girls with straight backs are less attractive. Girls with hunched backs are the least attractive
Thank you, your channel is great.
I went to many doctors for back pain as a teenager, as well as physiotherapy. None of them worked.
After searching a lot on the internet, I found 'Global Postural Re-education' (GPR), which is based on stretching. 'Stretching' is what no doctor or physiotherapist told me about for many years...
It's definitely what ended my back pain... even if my back hurts: running and stretching... goodbye pain...
Hey David,
I love your videos and have been watching over the past few years.
It would be really helpful to me if you could link the studies/ research you look at in the description!
Bro do it faster
Haha! I probably should next time
Wall angels are pointless. My chiropractor had me doing wall angels for months. It didn't help with anything, not even my ability to do wall angels. It wasn't until I started doing strengthening exercises that specifically target serratus, lower trap, and rhomboids that things started to improve. After getting a stronger back and shoulders, I was able to do wall angels easily for the first time ever, despite not having done them in months.
THANKYOU for talking about the lower back having the in-ward curve, my partner kept nagging at me claiming i have scoliosis even though all my doctors say that i don't, even my physio coach says my spine is fine . Now i know the proper term for how my back is!
Also, never experience back pain from how it is, (back pain only exists during periods).
Love your longer videos
The most important question: Why? 😂
Soon to be answered 😂
For everyone who is complaining about the wait: good news! No need to worry about your posture! Seriously! What you should do first is simple: GET A LIFE.
Same
Man it's unbelievable how cool a content creator you are. You consistently surprise me with how inspired or educated I end up after seeing you in queue. You occupy a niche that I don't have much creativity in, so it's astounding to see you keep creating cooler and cooler stuff!
there is so much intentionality in the editing, cuts, and script of this video and it’s incredibly impressive
Don’t badmouth doctors to try and get views. You need to go to the correct doctor if you are going to ask a question about posture. For example I have never heard a sports medicine physician or neurosurgeon say correcting your posture will 100% fix your back pain. If you ask a cardiologist about posture, obviously they may not have the answer but you’re really asking the wrong person
So wait, the smart guy is luckier than the strong guy, but they're equally as dextrous?
It aint dnd
Thank you for this, it makes a lot of sense
I‘m 32 and I don’t do sports.. I never sat upright on a chair for once nor did I listened to the „optimal“ ways to do things.
My posture is optimal and I have not a single issue with my body. Could be luck but I believe my body tells me how to behave to be healthy.
In this essay I will explain why that text neck crap is directly connected to modern fascism
Fr tho it is all the postural stuff is basically phrenology/racism/fascism nonsense
Doctors, physical therapists, and chiropractors are wrong. Trust me, bro. I read the abstract of one study.
Judging solely from personal experience and anecdotal evidence, I'd say "bad" posture and neck/back pain are symptoms coming from the same issue.
But I totally agree with the approach going from there. The issue isn't so much the posture we stand/sit in. It's that many people tend to stand/sit in that position for hours on end. Keep moving!
If I may bend your ear for just a moment. I spent some time working with some skulls (from the lovely Skulls Inc in Norman, Oklahoma) and something that’s been noticed as of late with the onset of phone use is a bone formation at the base of the skull where it meets with the cervical spine. Where this would normally be a bump, there is now a “hook” of sorts, prominent enough to carry the skull with one finger. This is something that has been attributed to more frequent looking down of an individual, and while it’s not something that necessarily causes pain, it is something that has influenced my time on my phone during the day
There is research proving thaat good posture is one of the most important things in order to be healthy both physically and mentaly. It is explained well in Jordan Peterson's Book "12 rules for life" as rule 1. People rate others based on their posture a lot. How others see you affects hormones and affects health. You were right about confidence, but do not uderestimate how big is the impact on positive motivation loop. There is research that proves that having good posture gives more confidence and boosts hormones (I remembered serotonin, but I might be wrong), that helps having motivation and taking care of yourself better and this way boosts atractiveness extremely. Having a lot of positive social contact does really make our immune system work better and make people live longer, it is also proved. Having good posture is the key to be percieved as worthy person and to see yourself as one more than many other things. Jordan Peterson is a clinical psychologist for more than 40 years (and a professor in psychology), so he knows his stuff. I definethy recommand reading this book!
Peterson is a doughnut
Well, the production quality has certainly gone up over the years, but one that that hasn't changed is how good the content is. Just do what the man says. The hardest part? Starting!
thank you so much for the recap at the end!! so simple to do and no one does it 😔
Thankful for the algorithm today! I was trying to remember your channel name to look something up 😅👍
You are one of the best people I sub to. You are helping me so much more than words convey. DAVID, THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOURSELF WITH US!
I have "created stiffness by hyper-focusing on posture". I have most definitely done that but never articulated it. Thank you.
You are the best. Thanks for your videos.
Thank you for your education David !
I admire you. Thank you for the great learning experience
