Don't Be A Slouch...
Fix Your Posture & Get out of Pain
* Takes only 20 min every other day!
It's An Epidemic....
Just look around these days and you'll see most people looking down at their phones, hunching over their computers, and driving with terrible postures.
According to a study done by the International Journal of Physiotherapy and Research, between 66% and 90% of all population suffer from a "forward head posture".
This posture has many other names like "Hunchback", "Text neck", "Turtle neck", "Scholar’s neck" and others.
No matter what you call it, this abnormal posture causes tightness/pain, depletes your energy, makes you look unattractive and stops you from doing the physical activities you love.
According to the same study:
"Every inch the head moves forward ADDS an extra 10 pounds of weight to your neck."
Yikes.
See, all this weight distorts your spine's natural alignment, creates movement dysfunctions and causes lingering pain...
What's more is that most people think that their forward head posture is an isolated issue... Separate from other physical and mental issues...
The reality is that this posture dysfunction can cause many other problems.
More explicitly, if your head protrudes forward, chances are that your shoulders are hunched also, and you are likely to have poor shoulder mobility, neck pain, headaches, low back pain, high stress, negative mood, low self esteem and more.
This is something I see almost no one talking about.
All these dysfunctions are related.
Do you have any of the following:
- Hunchback posture (Rounded shoulders & Forward head)
- Neck and shoulder stiffness/pain
- Poor shoulder mobility
- Shoulder blade pain
- Headaches
- Low back pain
- Bulging or Herniated discs
- Stress or Negative Mood
- Low Self-Esteem
- Aches and pains when you sit
- The need to constantly crack your neck and back?
- Can't raise your arm up over the shoulder?
* These are all related issues and sometimes cause one another...
How's Your Curve?
Our spines are meant to have a natural "S" shape curve to them.
This "S" shape curve ensures proper alignment and MINIMUM STRESS on your joints, muscles and ligaments.
Here's an image of a properly aligned spine:
However, in today's society most people have something closer to a "C" shape spine curve.
This is an abnormal posture and places GREAT STRESS on the joints, muscles and ligaments in your upper back, neck and low back.
Here's an image of most people's posture:
Why It Causes Pain?
Because of your bad posture and alignment, your neck, shoulders and low back muscles have to work extra hard to maintain an upright position.
These "overworked" muscles (aka "Overactive muscles") become really tight and eventually lead to trigger points (muscle knots) in your neck and back area - causing pain and discomfort.
Now there's more...
This abnormal hunchback posture shuts off our "postural muscles" (Such as mid back muscles and rotator cuff), which weaken overtime, therefore only exacerbating the problem.
Beyond that, poor posture can also cause serious low back issues...
Poor posture puts a lot of stress on the low back muscles and ligaments - causing pain and tightness.
In addition, it compresses the discs of the spine - which can cause bulging discs and herniated discs.
So, I'll Just Stop Hunching, Alright?
It sounds simple enough right?
You might say - "So I'll just stop slouching and problem solved!"
"I'll bring the phone to my eye level, drive with my shoulders rolled back, etc."
If it was only that easy.
See, despite your best intentions, simply trying to stop hunching and not looking down WILL NOT WORK.
Don't get me wrong, you certainly need to adopt new good posture habits going forward and stop slouching.
But it will not be enough.
It took you years to get into this posture, it will a lot more to fix this.
There are 2 reasons for this:
Reason #1: Your Nervous System
You've already trained your NERVOUS SYSTEM (Over many years) to slouch when you read, to look down at your phone, to round your back when you vacuum, to wash dishes with bad posture. You need to retrain your nervous system and link it with your postural muscles - with corrective exercises and the right technique.
Reason #2: Muscle Imbalance
Despite your best intentions you can't simply "Straighten up" because of something called "Muscle Imbalance". Some of your muscles now are way too tight and overactive - causing painful muscle knots and pulling you into a bad posture. Then you have other muscles that are too weak and "underactive" and will need to be re-educated and strengthened in order to maintain your upright posture.
Here's a direct quote from the National Academy of Sports Medicine about Muscle Imbalances:
"If muscles are not balanced, then the associated joint is directly affected. For example, a muscle imbalance at the shoulder involving a “tight” pectoralis minor will pull or shift the shoulder forward into a rounding position."

So, What's The Solution?
STEP 1: You'll need to learn how to setup proper ergonomics at your office, as well as use optimal alignment in everyday activities like: sitting, driving and sleeping.
STEP 2: You will need to release and stretch all the muscles that are "overactive" and tight - which pull you into a poor posture.
STEP 3: You will need to activate and strengthen all the muscles are that "underactive" and weak so that your body can hold itself in an upright posture for the long term.
* Most importantly, you'll need to learn the "proper technique" for every single exercise in order to train your Neuromuscular system correctly.
Imagine If You Can:
Look & Feel Younger, More Attractive
It's pretty obvious that a poor posture can make both men and women look older and less desirable. Once you fix your posture you'll feel better, look more attractive and have the confidence to go after your goals.
Play Sports/Stay Active - Pain Free
Have you been avoiding your physical activities because you're in too much pain? Once you correct your posture and get out of pain, you'll finally be able to pursue your favorite physical activity/sport. Not only that, but you'll be able to have fun and give it your all!
Get A Good Night's Rest
Sleeping with back and neck issues can be uncomfortable. Once you improve your posture you'll find yourself sleeping better and ready for your busy day ahead.
Be More Productive And Focused At Work
Being pain free will allow you to sit at your desk longer and get more work done. Instead of worrying about your "stiff neck", you'll be focusing on how to get more done with ease and attention to detail.
Have More Energy
Fixing your posture will get you out of pain and re-energize you in every aspect of your life. You'll find yourself more driven to pursue your goals and hobbies.

The Areas You'll Address:
Back and neck dysfunctions are related to one another and need to be addressed together. Our video course focuses on stretching and strengthening the muscles in these areas:
So What Is It?
FIRST, Follow Our 4-Module Video Program:
This course is broken down into 4 video modules where each technique and exercise is broken down slowly and methodically. Dr. Oliver explain how to do each exercise with the right technique, where you should feel it, and the reps and sets to aspire for. We also included several progressions for the exercises to challenge you when you're ready.
Module 1: Ergonomics & Posture Habits
In this module you will learn practical ways to improve your ergonomics and alignment. Dr. Oliver will show you the proper sitting posture, how to set up your computer desk, how to drive with good posture, how to sleep with good posture and more.
Module 2: Self Massage Overactive Muscles (Alleviate Immediate Pain & Tightness)
The main goal of the Self Massage module is to help you release your tight/overactive muscles. These muscles need to be "quieted down" in order to fix your posture and get rid of painful trigger points. The only tools we use here are a Massage ball and Theracane (Massage stick), but you can also use just a tennis ball or your fingers if you don't have these tools.
Module 3: Stretch Tight/Overactive Muscles & Increase Mobility
Right after Self Massage you'll go on to stretch the overactive muscles. This will further help "release" the muscles that are too tight and tend to pull you out of alignment. These will involve static stretches and specific mobility movements.
Module 4: Activate & Strengthen Weak Muscles (Corrective Exercises)
Now you will start to "activate" and "strengthen" the weak, underactive postural muscles with our unique corrective exercises. Once activated, these are the muscles that will help support your upright posture long term.

What Our Students Say:
"Having spent decades in front of a computer with the resultant poor posture, neck pain and headaches, I enrolled for this course and have been very pleased with every aspect.
I have tried other on-line exercise regimes but none have combined different modules (ergonomics, self massage, stretching and strengthening) in such a simple easy-to-follow format as this course.
After completion of the modules, being able to use the 20-min "Follow Along" videos is a highlight for me. Dr Oliver's demonstrations and explanations are extremely well presented, concise and to the point. I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone with similar pain issues and I look forward to further progress (at my own pace) in the months to come."
- Linda Devaney, New Zealand
"I wanted to improve my forward head posture. I am happy to say that I learned so much from this course. More importantly, I now have the tools to help me increase my mobility as I age. I realize how important posture is to being able to breathe, walk and feel good. I would recommend this program to all. I am 75 years old and want to be able to enjoy life.
Dr. Oliver, Emily and Leon demonstrated the exercises so well. What I really like is that I can go back to watch them as much as I want. Also, there are follow-along videos that I can use on a daily basis."

"I am so very happy that I discovered this course as I was very concerned about my forward head posture and I knew that there must be suitable exercises online somewhere that I could do at home.
This course has everything I wanted and more. I have learnt so much about causes and different muscles in the neck and shoulders that I never knew before and having that information in mind as I follow the exercises it has made me even more motivated.
Even though I am just beginning the course I have noticed my neck feeling more relaxed already and look forward to following the course at my own pace especially with such likeable teachers as Leon and Dr Oliver."
- Robyn Hattemore, New South Wales, Australia
