Fix Forward Head Posture - 3 Exercises to Reverse ‘Tech Neck’

Most "tech neck" is functional, not structural... this means you can fix it! Be sure to grab the PDF in the description above. Any questions or suggestions? Just ask! Hope this helps. - Lucas @ YOGABODY

If you really want to reverse it then stop being a slave to Technology.

This is fantastic. Thank you so much!

What other exercies instead of banded rows should i use while i wait for my exercise band to arrive?

I have extreme upper back pain , focused area. Could this be constant phone use and Hunched over ? I need to stand and look ahead . Its too painful

Can anyone recommend some resistance bands? Not sure what length to get.

My workstation setup at home is using two "floor desks", one lower that the keyboard and mouse sit on and one higher to keep the laptop to eye level. The set up is very similar to what you showed, except I sit on the floor throughout the day! Have you seen or experimented with anything like this before? I feel my posture has improved since using it but I wonder what you think about floor sitting Vs standing

Also, I can do the squat, after following your exercises, but can’t hardly stand up 😅…. Any suggestions? Thanks again 🌺

Excellent video.

Such a great video! I have awful posture my tech neck is so bad! Best video I have seen on this! Please make more.

The guaranteed fix. TURN OFF YOUR PHONE AND PUT IT AWAY.

Love your channel bro.

I'm going to raise my laptop by putting some of my same size books under it. I definitely have the tech neck.

Feels delightful !!!😃👍

Thanks SO MUCH for your knowledge and time to show us simple methods for daily elemental habits. Thanks 😊!!! Good! Squeeze shoulders!!!

This is awesome, only 6 minutes I can afford it. THANK YOU!

instant difference, thank you so much!

Any advice for an illustrator that is always hunched over drawing on an iPad?

Can you do a video on the right position to sleep? I feel like i tend to default to a position that has bad posture, like shoulders hunched etc

Thank you Lucas for this excellent video! Also for letting us know that “tech neck” is a functional issue and fixable! I have watched so many videos looking for the right one for “tech neck” the front of my neck was so tight and locked so I came up with this chin tuck before doing these exercises I folded a towel several times laid on my stomach on my mat put the towel between my chin and mouth for a chin tuck I did your breathing method for 2 to 5 minutes just relaxing into it with stretching and extending in mind when I got up my neck was so elongated I could hardly believe it I’ve been walking around the my home doing chin tucks for awhile with not much results now adding this routine twice a day with the mat chin tuck is showing remarkable results! Thank you for this wonderful video so many of us needed it.🙂🧘

I'm 60 years old and have developed kyphosis from sitting hunched over , it would be so great of you if you could guide me so that I can prevent further stooping and undo the damage if at all possible. BTW I am practicing 4 by 8( I'm feeling great) breathing technique, to heal my aches and pains.
Just subscribed!

You are brilliant. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Arrow pose. I can barely clasp my hands. My shoulders are too tight. Any suggestions?/ use a strap maybe? But how should your hands be on the strap?

Thanks for the video Lucas. How come many sources on the internet says it is the other way around with the frontal part of the neck needed to be strenghtened and the back part stretched? I´m inclined to believe in your aproach though.

LOVE the video u made. it is really helpful and educated thank you so much.

These videos you’ve been posting are perfect. I love that you do the timed stretch-along at the end. So many videos explain some sort of exercise routine but then leave you to set your own interval timer or whatever. I appreciate your format sooooo much. I realize it takes that much longer to film, so thank you (and I hope you see sweet monetization results from people playing your content every day)!

How many times should you do these exercises say during an eight-hour workday? Every two hours? Every hour?

Feeling immediate results from these. OK to do these twice a day or would that be over doing it?

Thank you Lukas. This is really helpful and doable. One functional problem you didn’t address was the wearing of multifocal glasses which when reading through the lower quadrant of the glasses results in the lean forward and chin up posture.

Thank you Lucas, this is very helpful and doable. One common ‘structural’ problem area you didn’t mention is wearing multifocal glasses, which so many people do wear, and which tend to lead to chins up in order to read the screen through the lower reading portion of glasses. It’s a real problem to us computer bound workers and no helper for our necks!

This video was very informative, excellent work. I feel that this is a great way to reach your target audience that is having trouble with posture.

The suboccipital muscles are short and tight in forward head posture, and the deep neck flexors are long and weak. You implied the opposite in this video.

Working in an open office with others but maybe try after work at home

I love the release of stiffness/tension from doing this. I am currently doing the science of stretching course and have signed up for the 21 day hip opening challenge. I have worked at a desk for 40 years and cannot believe the difference this has made. Thank you 😊

Hi Lucas, I recently started watching your videos and I can attest I have never found a more simplified, comprehensive, and science-based explanation of Yoga ever. You do an incredible at this. would you mind sharing any insights about Hip abductors and their function? I have been experiencing difficulty sitting in a cross-leg position even though I have been sitting since my childhood but these days I am struggling with external hip rotation during poses. would really appreciate any insights from you. Thanks for all of your work.

This is great. thank you.

due to poor body posture, the x-ray showed an increase in the normal lordosis with the result that the head leans forward?? how can this be corrected???? it looks ugly

I spend most of my day driving for work. Do you have any tips for better posture behind the wheel?

Thank you for your work ☀️

Thank you, Lucas! I'm getting so much benefit from your teaching in the Happy Back Challenge and I'm going to incorporate these exercises into my day too. 😊🙏🏼

Excellent! Thank you so much Lucas.

You do such a great job talking and demonstrating at the same time. Thank you.

Thank you so much for these exercises. You are a great teacher.🙏🙏🙏

Thank you, Lucas. Very helpful!

Thank you Lucas for these videos. I follow these along with all the exercises classes I purchased from you. They are a life saver dealing with fibromyalgia & neck injury. Barb :)

On the arrow pose—I’m too tight to have my arms elevated above the chair back. When I grab around the back, my clasped hands are quite close to my bottom. Is this still effective? Do you have a modification? I think it’s my shoulder mobility that’s lacking.

Love this! I am going to share it with my team at work and my family. Thanks Lucas!!!
