Hi! My name is Doctor Nelly *****, and I am the creator of posture confidence. What is the number one exercise that would help improve your posture and end back pain? Let me tell you, the trick is to get bad posture that is rounded shoulders, head forward, bad pelvis, what you want to do is get in to a good posture, so you are tucking your pelvis, holding your shoulders back and allowing your head to sit over the whole spine. You want to be able to straighten a little muscle called your Tories minor. The Tories Minor goes from the back of your shoulder blade to your humorous, and so you want to be able to strengthen it and shorten it, because what happens is they get elongated and they get to stretched out.
These muscles tight, your hips flexors are tight, and then your head is tight. This puts so much strain on your back, then the neck and that lower back, that a lot of pain is created. So by reducing that, get yourself into a good posture, grab your light weight so you can start with two pounds, one pound or no pound to begin with. And you are going to a very small arc, you are going from 85 degrees to 90 degrees maybe 92. You are going from here, to here and you are going to shorten it and strengthen the Tories Minor muscle, and so by doing that, let us do it for ten repetitions. By doing that you are going to strengthen the shoulders, hold them back and down and that is going to allow your body to support yourself without straining and then ***** that back area.
So let us count for ten, ready, from here back, one, two, three, good posture, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, take a break, and we are going to do it one more time. Remember what you want to do is the small arc, you are really focusing on getting that arm from here to here, does not a big exaggerated muscle, you are just going from here to here.
Let us go, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten and when you are done, you should feel like your shoulders are able to stay upright, they are back and they are away from you, we are able to support your body and you are not being strained in that neck or that little back area. So do this everyday, just two sets to ten and you are on your way to good, strong posture pain free muscles.
