If you all want to know how important this crap is take it from me. I had mold forward head posture. Thought it’s not that bad. Did some stretches here and there.
Over the last year I’ve had major swallowing issues. Felt like my swallow was extremely week. Ended up going from 30 minutes to an hour to eat meals. Finally got tons of test done of course, we’re talking endoscope, ENT, beruim swallows and all! Nothing was found.
But I told my GP I’m telling you my swallows weak. I can’t swallow.
Didn’t listen.
Went to a chiropractor, explained my symptoms to him. I said it doesn’t feel like stuffs getting stuck it feels like I have a weak swallow. He told me to lift my neck and couldn’t believe how my GP didn’t even jot an eye. The amount of tension in my front neck was intense! He then explained the entire mechanics, the bones and muscle involved etc etc etc.
Anyways actually taught me all these neck stretches and also performed some trigger point releasing ones around the bone above my Adam’s apple (he specifically said don’t do these myself so I won’t be explaining them)
Fast forward a couple months I can almost swallow normally again.
My TMJ took a beating due to the over chewing I had to do.
To have an idea, that final neck stretch where you look down in this video, I move my head about 10% what I should be able too and the entire muscle lights up.
Some key things I’d like to point out which aren’t said in the video.
1. MAKE SURE YOU KEEP YOUR SHOULDERS DOWN WHEN DOING THESE.
I found by default I kept brining them up
2. You’re working on a problem. The biggest mistake I did was let my pain tolerance determine my stretch. Baddddddddd idea. Only go until you feel the stretch. Then keep working further as you get better. Don’t go as far as you can if you can handle it.
3. Posture awareness is key afterwards. Even if you do these 8 times a day. You need to be mindful of proper posture.
Personally I bought a posture vest. I’d wear it for 20 minutes in the morning just to engrave in my brain “this is the position”. As I feel a lot of people don’t understand the position.
To simply put it. You should be able to draw a straight line from your ears, to your shoulders, to your hips.
Your hips if you imagine a bucket of water, not a drop should spill out
Honestly I find forward head-posture needs way more attention and PSA then it has.
I was having breathing issues and all. But again mine didn’t even look that bad. I’ve seen WAAAAYYYYYY worse. But looks don’t matter. It was all about the tension in my muscles housing some very important parts of the body.
Absolutely wonderful
Thank you...I'm so glad I found your videos as I have suffered for years. These ideas look so promising
I've watched so many videos but this one is a true game changer
Sooo helpful! Thank you!
Thanks for the tips, very helpful
Thanks for this!
Thank you handsome this really works ❤️❤️😊 keep posting your videos I really like them and they work so good!
I'm sure you can't remember everyone that thanks you very much for these free and awesome physical therapy video's.
As I told you a short time ago these simple and easy procedures that can easily be done anywhere and any place has definitely changed my posture and stopped me from going to the physical therapist three times a week and paying alot of money for something that wasn't actually doing as much as your videos have done for me.
I'm back now slow jogging and riding my bike and motorcycle without having to stop and walk around for a few minutes.
Not realizing how much it's actually doing for me until I was at family gathering this past April. Several of my family members noticed a difference but couldn't pin point it until we started looking at pictures from the year before. Not only did they say that I was taller but my posture looked much better and straighter.
I normally don't post anything but after watching and participating in your videos and feeling much better and able to illuminate my therapist completely I felt the need to stop and thank you for taking the time to post these miracle and life changing exercises.
Thanks again.
You are absolutely amazing and great at explaining everything! Super fast delivery though. I have to keep rewinding. I would love an episode where you slow it down and do it with us. Thank you so much!
Thank you🙏🏼
Thank you : You teach this with superior skill

Thanks for watching!
Great video and awesome neck posture exercises 👍👍you had me at “friend of Bob & Brad”. I subscribed to your channel and wish you many more viewers and subscribers !!!
This moves really helped me a lot to fix my bad head posture. Thanks Tim. I appreciate your help.
How much time did it take and did it work
How long did it take to see an improvement?
not a lot of comments - but thank you - i was about to buy a corrector but those haven't worked for me in the past. The shoulder back stretch seems to be my culprit. when i did it a few times a ton of my back just started releasing pressure so thank you it's been miserable and i am feeling hopeful to have a step in the right direction
This video is extremely helpful.... Thank you you saved my life!❤
I can see very slight differences n first day itself
What about now?
I had to learn the last tip the hard way. Just got a laptop base today and a posture brace to start training too. Now time to get rid of my neck hump and horrendous headaches! Thank you for sharing these exercises 😊 New subscriber here
Did it work?
It did 100%!! I forgot how bad my headaches were. This definitely helped.
again its me thank you so much
Do you have any tips for sitting on the Aeron chair? I find it that when I recline on it, my posture suffers. Maybe you should only touch the lumbar part of your back?
You just helped My 6'4 friend with this
As Above; So Below… Great Advice. Awesome video.
Your ggod from covid help me how long did it last you? I saw that was like 8 months ago
Can i still do these exercises if i have SKOLIOSIS ? And i just found out that my head is fowarding and im walking like a duck just like on this videos thumbnail
You just helped a 7 foot guy not be in incredible pain
question is why so tall? hahah
@@agimtasholli1841 fr 🤣
Genes.
@@2pocketsofsidor917 genetics fr
I'd kill myself if i was that tall
How long does it take to see results?
When do you start seeing an improvement doing these posture exercises ? In a couple of months or so? I wonder oftentimes if Im doing to right 😊😮 thanks
Hello my dear ... I am Mohamed from Egypt, do you allow me to take your videos and then translate them and publish them on my channel? I will tell them your original channel for sure!

What is the purpose of putting one hand on your chest when doing neck stretches. I've seen others do the same, however, some in some cases I see people, such as yourself, putting their right hand on their chest and tilting their head to their right shoulder. Then putting their left hand on their chest and tilting their head to the left shoulder. In other cases, I see people do the opposite - they put their right hand on the chest and then tilt their head to the left shoulder, and vice versa.
Just curious what is the significance of putting a hand on your chest when doing these exercises, and does it matter which hand?
❤❤❤❤❤❤
can terrible knots in the upper back also be a culprit for bad posture?
👍👍👍👍👍
I am confined to a wheelchair and have no posture, I tend to lean forward all the time and don't hold my head and shoulders back. I need help correcting my back and neck, while also strengthening my stomach muscles. Please Advise ! Thank You, Renae
WOW
My mans had Stones playing in the car I SEE YOU
yessir!
I think if you would summarize all the stretches you showed at the end of the video, it would be very helpful.
How long until you see results. I’m a dental assistant and my head is constantly down. I think my posture has gotten worse but I suffer from chronic migraines. A lot of times my migraines start in my neck and I NEED to fix this. I’m devoted to my profession and going to school to become a dental hygienist so I don’t want to give up my career.
Have you corrected your posture?
does this work??
please reply
If your bad posture is caused by leaning your head forward then imho these exercises are just fixing the consequence and if you stop doing them then your bad posture is going to return eventually. Am I right? Wouldn't it then be better to first resolve the cause (the leaning forward) by getting (stronger) glasses?
I think it would stop progressing, not fix itself
Ye thats what I was thinking, get glasses and strengthen the front shoulders to help the arms hold the phone in front of your eyes longer because we tend to lower the head to look down at the phone instead of bringing the phone up to a good height for the neck
Nice! I'll try this. Also, you're really cute.
Will this restore my lost height? I used to be 6 foot but ever since my neck was not straight ive lost an inch
Obviously
I look quite underrated man
I've always seen videos on chin tuck where you slide your head back, and not tip the head down. Is sliding the head backward also a good chin tuck exercise, or don't you recommend it?
It’s not a horrible way to do the chin tuck - sometimes I recommend performing it this way. But it can be more aggressive and cause a shearing force at the neck. That’s why I prefer the mid version bc it engages the intrinsic neck muscles with less shearing and is very effective.
@@PTProgress Thank you!
Pls for spine 🧐
There are things on Amazon to massage and lay on, do those really help? Any of those legit?
Hi Tim!
I’ve been watching and trying to do the exercises from your CZcams channel. I have a problem with my neck - I have an X-ray that I’d love to send you. I have a proposition! How about if you use me as sort of a subject and prescribe exercises? I know I’m not the only one with this neck issue with everyone (and their mothers) looking down at technology. You could use my X-rays as a before and after using your exercises. Just trying to find a creative way to fix my neck, if it’s even possible. I’m not sure. I’m a RN. I believe my neck problem has been from years of looking down at the bedside. Who knows though? If you’d like to see my X-ray, I’ll happily send it to you. Best! I tried to contact you on your website - my message wouldn’t submit when I clicked the button
where was I when this channel was born. 😵
if I have been like this since a kid and I am not 40. Is it still possible to correct my posture?
Yes
Ok thor
I was 6.9, now I'm 7.0 foot
my friends always make fun of me for this
Is it normal to feel pain during the transition of this exercise? When I try to seat on my left and right palm my back hurts. When I seat on my left my mid right back hurts vise versa.
It felt extremely painful
Did you recover your taste
Hlo sir i want to contact you
Many thanks, excellent tips!!
