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.

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.

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!

Dude bad posture is from bad posture. Sure movement is necessary but bad posture has nothing to do with movement. You can be the world's best athlete and still have bad posture. Posture is about consciously determining how to sit/stand, so that all the weight load goes directly to the bone without putting tension in the muscles. If you think bad posture is benign, then you need to think again, all haw problems and orthodontic problems have posture as one of the root cause

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.

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 you think those are nocebo claims from medical professionals, then you are the medical professional who don't know anything about posture. Posture is relevant obv as our spine is designed to bear load in one way and one way only. Not slouched, not with kyphosis, not with lordosis, no but with the natural curve of the spine. The way how you deadlift is how you should sit or stand or do anything. Posture is also important in all body functions, from promoting good blood flow, to cranial pressure to jaw misalignment to maxilla recession etc etc. This guy did the video without knowing it himself and you are no better.
@tekeyia9279

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.

Plus also hanging neck when you get older becomes really stressful on the muscles which are in a constantly stretched position. And they tire out and stiffen up and boom, neckpain. Trust me on that.

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.

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.

My understanding is that optimal spinal posture varies from individual to individual due to 'cervical wedging', as in the shape of the vertebrae in the spinal column itself, Lordosis that is problematic in one specimen can be optimal in another and it's no way to tell just by looking, how much pressure is in their discs at different angles just wont be the same. To figure out what would be optimal/ideal for any specific person to target would require an X-ray and carefully examine their spine and disc spacing.

u rly got a point after all doctors said smoking was good for u after that they now say meat is good for u... Also once u became a doctor u officially finished learning, so u dont have to keep up to date with modern research. If u are a 50 yo doctor u might have no idea what happend in the last 20 years in terms of topic xy Here in Germany doctors can prescribe u weed but most dont because they have no fucking idea what benefits weed can have or what illnesses u treat with it because they dont read studies and keep up to date

I fucked up my back and got really bad back pain by trying to force the "correct" posture. I learned the hard way its nonsense. Though it made sense, and I kinda believed it my whole life. Your posture should fit whatever is comfortable so you have to get good at listening to your body and the signals its sending you

I have not been in contact with a doctor before trying to better my posture because of BOTH the problems here. My lower back pain has disappeared completely after fixing my lordosis. It is something I tried after noticing a decrease in the mulling pain of my lower back when I straigtened it out. I would not agree with the statement you've gone out with here. Seeing as since I improved my posture, both the pain in my neck and lower back has disappeared. And again, this was not thanks to a doctor but by trial and error. And too much pressure on one side of the disc for a prolonged period of time, yeah, that's gonna lead to problems. By pressing against the discs in a stable manner, like distributing the weight more evenly, will most likely also lessen the pain people feel by potential nerves getting squished aswell. This is merely a theory though. And if there are no studies that you can supply of your claim in this video, then you're in the same boat as the doctors/professors.

My posture has gotten worse in the past several years, and although my back doesn’t usually hurt, I’ve developed a lot of tension in my neck and jaw that sometimes contributes to a general feeling of anxiety. So even though “bad” posture might not always cause back pain, it can create other issues and put stress on other areas of the body.

Ignored my posture for years on end, so doing these excercises as described seems almost impossible for me at this point, which feels more than a bit distressing. Nevertheless, I'll trust this flexy guy, and not give up. I'm doing "floor" angels (lying on the floor, hoping I'll transition eventually into proper wall angels), and the rest of these excercises as said. Thanks for the content, David.

The problem of back issues and bad posture can get alot more complex than this. And jumping straight on to this exercises csn trigger immense amounts of pain to the wrong patient. These are great exercises and well explained, but the term "back pain" can include many nasty injuries and posture awareness can help you minimize pain in the most painfull positions and ranges of motion

I’m almost 32. I have slight kyphosis. Started working my back out a long time ago and got up to a shitty 505 pound deadlift. It’s just how my back is. I have no back pain, never did. Just makes it harder to keep my shoulders back to look like I have decent posture. And I agree, me trying to keep a full “normal” looking posture hurts my back. Also, if you gain a lot of back muscle it makes your back look even more jacked.

An alternative view on posture : - Let’s say a person has an anterior pelvic tilt. Their Diaphragm and Pelvic Floor motion will likely be altered due to the diaphragm needing to contract down on an inhale, increasing pressure into the pelvic floor which moves downward too and stretches. With an anterior pelvic tilt the diaphragm would press more into the lower abdominal region as the pelvic floor is not stacked under the diaphragm anymore. What that might lead to? Many things. Maybe a tight pelvic floor? Maybe shallow Breathing? Maybe lower back pain ? Or no Pain at all? It’s all possible as the body will compensate in some way.

Movement is the solution. Movement keeps the body fluid. I always pay for it in pain when I have to sit for too long...Long car rides or airplane rides. The best thing I can do is get moving with some gentle stretches and some other movement that makes me feel better like walking, swimming, dancing, playing with my dogs and rolling around like an animal.

I love how all your exercises are all the things i just did as a kid when i was waiting around. It was also the same things my teachers, parents and other grown ups would comment on and suggest that i was a weird kid. Some would suggest that i was gay because of how hypermobile my joints were. I was thrown into therapy and moved from school to school for my entire childhood. To be brainwashed into "being like the others". Only to find out that i'm transgender and now i miss my hypermobile joints. I've become way more stiff through years of working and sitting still to be like "the others". But i'm still somewhat hypermobile in my joints. So it's just sore more when i do extreme posses and exercises. But very confirming to hear that what i naturally did as a kid was everything but wrong of me. And that i was simply just taking care of my body when others or a situation forced me to stand around and wait and do nothing.

I have tried what is described in this video for six days now after having it randomly appear on the front page and the affect on my spinal (specifically cervical and upper thoracic) pain has been extremely pronounced. No doctor has ever complained about my posture, but I did require an anterior discectomy and fusion of the cervical spine in 2019. This might make me sound old to most readers, but… uhhh… I ain’t. It happens. Be careful. Other than the glowing recommendation to others to stop wasting time and spend the 5-10 minutes per six hours to do this or the equivalent kind of exercise, I just want to say that you’ve made me realize what my problem as of now actually is: - Lack of movement. Like many Americans (and others around the world) in the year 2024, I both earn and play by remaining almost entirely stationary, with neck, wrists, and shoulders fixed, staring at an array of LEDs for hours on end. This is killing us. My warning to everyone, regardless of age - If you are experiencing the kind of lifestyle and pain I’ve described, the way you feel now is only going to get worse. Take breaks, tidy up, get out of the chair and do “Wall Angels” for at least one repetition. Just move, damnit. Side note: This is also what I believe to be the first comment I’ve ever left on a video. So, kudos and thank you. EDIT: subbed

Bad posture never really hurt me. But a slight unnoticeable rotation in my pelvis unexpectedly sent me into the hell of pain called lumbago. I didn't do anything to get that, my pelvic bones and spine just didn't perfectly align in a moment that turned out decisive. And that wasn't caused by bad posture.

You can get bad posture from backpain, and many other things, but my great uncle (rip), who truly was great, was somewhat of a hunchback in later years. (Well, for at least since I was a teen till I got my grey beard) He never had any issues with back pains as I recall. So, bad posture does, as you say, not always lead to back pain or problems, but back pains can lead to bad posture. Sure, he got more stiff as he got older, but a younger old man was hard to find. Great vid, thank you! Edited for clarity. Somewhat.

Well, bad posture can also be attributed due to muscular imbalance, typically between the back and pectoral muscles, although the rear delts can also be involved. So yeah, there's often a reason why poor posture is frowned upon.

I was diagnosed with minor shermanns disease in 2016, which basically means I had kyphosis but not too bad. In 2017 I saw a dr in New York named dr Lenke. He told me my curve was very bad and that surgery was required to fix it. To be clear I didn’t have any pain or anything like that I just looked a little hunched. I was young and stupid and I thought doctors knew everything so I agreed to this minor surgery. Long story short they freaking fused my spine using 32 titanium screws, two long bars and bone graft. It’s a completely ridiculous surgery. It’s like treating the flu with a nuclear bomb. Long story short my spine doesn’t move anymore, I’m depressed and sad most days and don’t leave my bed anymore. I feel disabled.

Seems like a word game. If you think of "good posture" as "assuming a pose", then of course it's not going to help, since rigidity leads to pain. But if you think of "good posture" as having the necessary spinal mobility to assume various poses, and the dynamic trunk support to carry muscles and joints in optimal alignment, then all of your listed exercises improve posture. For example, forward head posture ("text neck") tightens deep neck flexors, rounds the shoulders (sometimes leading to nerve impingement in the subacromial space), lengthens lower cervical neck extensors, tightens and shortens sub-occipital muscles, encourages protective fat build-up over C7, contributes to arthritis, etc. It is highly correlated with cervicogenic headache. The solution IS good posture, and your suggested exercises are an excellent start.

Good posture literally does make you more attractive. My roommate has terrible hikikamori-esque posture and it makes him look feminine and weak. Literally everyone I’ve seen in my life that doesn’t stand up straight, aside from women, looks unconfident and gay. People that are confident/high social status almost always look like they’re standing up straight with their chest out, and they have a slight swagger in the way they walk.

YOU don't have to keep your posture right, but your body does it itself. I have 2 hernia on my lower back, and neck pain in front with cutting pain coz of my sitting life style. I've been at a lot of doctors and nothing helped. The solution is to build a muscle core around your spine ( usually go to the gym) and THEN work on flexibility. Doing it before makes pain worse. Keep in mind to have a dedicated human who will exclude dangerous exercises during the pain period. And after all that I went from nerd posture to homosapiens in one year.
