hey guys dr. Burke here I want to show

you how to correct posture so I’m sure

your parents used to tell you to sit up

tall right unfortunately that was bad

advice because here’s what happens you

have two sets of muscles you have all

the muscles on the front part of your

body and all the muscles on the back

part of your body so when you’re

slouched like this the muscles on the

front part of the body are too tight so

if you were to stretch them they tend to

be like a rubber band and just rebound

and come back you know and it’s not bad

to stretch that way but from yours of

sitting back and you know watching TV

like this and slouching a much better

approach would be to stretch the muscles

in the back and I’m going to show you

how to do that too that’ll allow you to

come up without really any effort okay

so this is what you do for poor posture

to your kids even tell them just have

them slouch more so you really want to

stretch the back muscle so I’m going to

hunch my back as much as I can so I’m

just going to arch my back like this I’m

going to press down and when I come all

the way down this way okay so I’m going

to do that about ten times alright I’m

going to hunch my back and make my

posture as bad as possible

forcing my head to come down - okay so

I’m just going to do this

okay so you want to just hunt you back

now what’s going to happen if you after

about 10 times your it’s going to be

like you’re just going to come right up

naturally it’s really easy to sit up

tall now okay it’s just when you do this

don’t mention my name if you’re doing it

in public right but I’m just kidding the

point is that you always want to work on

the opposite muscles okay

so this whole thing we have to

constantly stretch back doesn’t always

work so you could even do both ways but

this is something that’s been neglected

but I want you to try this right now as

you’re sitting in your chair do it 10

times and see if it doesn’t allow your

posture to come up without any effort at

all and even your head over your body

and put your comments below so go ahead
