MOST people are unable to correct forward head posture (FHP) because they believe a single exercise or stretch will fix it - IT WON'T! If FHP was easy to fix, no one would have it and this video would be unnecessary. While it can take some effort and time to correct forward head posture or correct hunched forward posture, applying the 3 exercises I demonstrate in this video will HELP get the process started.
We need to address 1) weakening of multiple muscle groups (endurance) 2) Focus on the area of the spine that is often neglected (and it's not the neck) and 3) Stretch the ligaments for "creep" to happen. I will show you how to do this in this video - do this for 30 days and let me know in the comments if your posture improves - it will! :)
AS A BONUS, Dr. Jon Saunders will also show you 3 simple posture correction tips that you can use daily to keep your posture in the right alignment. Poor posture can cause pain, degenerative disc disease, mobility problems and a host of other unpleasant symptoms so correcting it will keep you HEALTHY and STRONG well into your senior years.

Awesome and clear! No annoying 5 minute preamble, no annoying music! All makes sense, thank you!
-
The explanation about the stretch needing to be held, not seconds, but 5 minutes, may well be the most important info I have heard in regards to changing the shape of the spine. Thank you for simple and concise instructions!
-
Thanks doc! Proud to meet you
-
This is amazing. I'm a pediatrician and have been doing these same exercises regularly because it makes anatomic sense (and relieves pain from an old car accident injury). You've actually shown me a better way to do them and demonstrate to patients. The concept of teaching muscles to pull the spine back into alignment is so refreshing (and sustainable) compared to the typical chiropractor "come in monthly for an adjustment."
-
Super helpful, Jon! Appreciate these exercises because it not only helps fix the posture as it's the most important thing for my sport of pistol shooting. Dropped a follow as well. 🙌
-
This was a great video. I have saved it and I will start doing these exercises today. I have terrible forward head posture and the chin tucks have done nothing to help. Off to watch your other videos now.
-
Your thoracic stretch was the best tip! I do it every day now and it's such a help for my neck/back lineup. THANK YOU!
-
A big shout out and Thank you Doctor Jon Saunders for this video. The first stretch exercise with towel behind the head and forward stretching is super awesome. And especially the 3rd tip on keeping sternum facing towards the sky is simple yet powerful in posture correction.
-

Thanks for giving such detailed directions.

Awesome Doc Saunders!!! These are the exercises I need to tackle 3 areas of my spine as well as my shoulders! Due to my sedentary work with computers, I have developed bad habits and this is a great way to break away from it.
-
Thank you! For those that perhaps wish to have a look at the exercises directly: 1st exercise: 4.15 2nd exercise: 6.38 3rd exercise: 9.00 Thanks again!
