If you have been told that you have bad posture but you're confused about where to start, what you need to do, and even if you do have bad posture in the first place, then you need to stick around to not only get these questions answered but also to learn 3 critical tips all beginners should know so you can get started in the right direction.

Tip #1 talks about why using static images to assess your posture is NOT the best assessment to use. The biggest reasons why is because its difficult to assess images and see all the boney landmarks accurately that’s required to give a good assessment.

Another reason is because results will vary depending on the therapist, which is no good which your working with your insurance or different people all the time. There is a better method for taking your posture assessments which you can learn about near the beginning of the video.

Tip #2 is pretty simple, there no such thing as perfect posture as you work on the computer, stand or walk around. And the reason why is because your posture is going to follow your most repetitive movements. Over 90% of us will have some kind of forward head posture or rounded shoulders because we have to round them to some degree to do literally anything in front of the body. So what’s the answer? Find out with tip #2.

Tip #3 Goes against the norm and tells you to stop using exercise as the first thing to try for correcting your posture. Exercises are not wrong and it is required but if you have bad posture, exercises those weaker muscles is too late. The reason why is because exercises should be as prevention for bad posture as opposed to correcting it. Your bad posture is created from too much tension in the body moving in one direction and exercises a few muscles wont fight that tension; Especially when you go back to your repetitive movement right after the workout (Its probably unavoidable).

In my opinion, this is why it takes so long to see results with just exercises to correct your posture. So what’s the answer? And no its not stretching either. You know what you have to do. Check out the video for the answers.
