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
