hey Dr Berg here in this short video I’m

going to show you how to get rid of bad

posture within two minutes now not that

I’m seeing a bad posture but I think you

did tell me you have bad posture how

many hours a day do you sit by the

computer

um at least eight to ten and what do

your parents normally tell you to do

when you’re slouching sit up straight

exactly that doesn’t work never tell

your kids or anyone to sit up tall when

they’re slouching in fact tell them to

slouch more because here’s what’s going

to happen if she’s slouching like this

the reason it’s not that she has weak

back muscles it’s that she has very

tight muscles in the front part of your

body that’s pulling her forward like

this if we stretch a tight muscle like

that it’s going to be like a rubber band

it’s going to pull it back but if we

stretch the back muscles what happens it

sends neurological signals to the tight

muscle on the front and loosens it up

okay if you don’t believe me we’re going

to try it okay so sit back a little bit

okay bring your legs out a little bit

more wide wide okay so now what you’re

going to do is you’re going to do this

okay

like

you’re gonna slouch

and round your back forward between your

legs down like that yes

slouch as far as far as you can good

relax that good come back up

okay slouch again bring your legs a

little bit and just really ground your

back

okay

come back up

okay slouch and what you’re trying to do

is make your body slouch

right there you feel tight to this see

how round it is okay let’s kind of come

up she’s gonna do that five times that’s

three

one more time so you just hold it

and you can do this by your computer too

on your desk come back up

one more time

okay good now just sit up do you feel

any different now that is really wild so

it doesn’t look like you’re slouching

anymore so that is amazing yeah so it’s

very cool this is the better way to fix

someone who slouches so the next time

someone slouches have them reverse it in

slouch more and they’ll be able to sit

up tall
