How to fix your posture by doing a 2 minute exercise twice a day. - General

[QUOTE=HybridTheroy;50562368]This video isn't chiropractic, why would you shit up this thread for 5 pages?[/QUOTE] It says right in the video "created by a chiropractor" so it's reasonable to be skeptical of any claims of its effectiveness. People going "wow my shoulders made a cool cracking noise" "it felt kinda good" is not evidence that this treatment is effective or safe. If they had said "an exercise shown in scientific studies to be effective" or "exercise often recommended by doctors or physical therapists" I would naturally trust it to be a reliable exercise. You shouldn't even do this shit until a doctor figures out what is the cause, because it could just fuck it up more depending on what is causing the back pain or bad posture.

CrimsonChin is right in that regard. You should always check with a doctor before undertaking any exercise regimen, especially in matters of the spine. If you're doing this and it's working for you, great, but let your doctor know next time you see them.

You keep your chin tucked in so you have to force yourself to stand up straight (which is why you do it on a wall, so you have something to stand up straight against).

[QUOTE=bdd458;50562395]I've had more productive discussions with creationists than I have had with you, a supposed paragon of science. HybridTheory: Being in the cold does correlate with getting a cold, links to study You: Nuh uh!!!!! Me: Uh, here's the extract yes it does due to the increased replication of the virus in colder weather. You: Thanks for confirming what I already know!!!! Me: Did you miss the important part??? colder temperatures do in fact seem to play a role in the replication of the common cold virus You: NO ITS STILL JUST A VIRUS!!!! Thus, it can be deduced from those studies and data (among other studies that the NAS has published corroborating that story) shows that being in the cold does seem to correlate with an increased risk for getting a cold. so yes, being the cold does make you more likely to get a cold based upon the research and data we actually have. or is all that just pseudoscience too[/QUOTE] Well I said none of these things, and of course it isn't pseudoscience that the cold virus generally replicates easier in colder temperatures, it's been shown in actual scientific studies, much like chiropractic being bunk.

This isn't chiropracty no matter how you slice it bud. Either way, seeing as it works for people, including myself, what the hell do you intend to gain from shitting this thread into oblivion?

[QUOTE=RaTcHeT302;50559922] Wouldn't that make things worse? [/QUOTE] Not necessarily. Many posture problems can arise from the front muscles being too strong such as the pectorals, causing over-tightening. A well-balanced strength training program that strengthens the back as well as the front and especially the core can go a long way towards correcting those problems as muscular balance is restored. sipsublast's post was blunt and rude, but also correct. It should not have been deleted. [editline]21st June 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=HumanAbyss;50562464]My doctor RECOMMENDED it. My doctor said it was the best option.[/QUOTE] Then absolutely go for it.

It helped me go from unable to walk faster than a 90 year old man after I pulled my back working to being normal in an hour. Physical therapy didn't do that for me either of the three times I've done it, it did help and worked pretty well but it was certainly slower healing.

You're arguing with as if I am disagreeing with you, but I am not.

I hate all of you

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;50562498]You're arguing with as if I am disagreeing with you, but I am not.[/QUOTE] No sorry, I was arguing with Crimson Chin still just using your post as the source of that. Sorry for the confusion.

[QUOTE=CrimsonChin;50562516]Doing physical therapy 3 times isn't going to do anything, you have to learn and perform the exercises every or every other day for several months on your own time.[/QUOTE] 3 times, as in 3 different month long sessions. I went 3 times a week, every week, for a month. I did that 3 times. Total of 12 sessions every month, 36 all told together.

[QUOTE=CrimsonChin;50562453]Well I said none of these things, and of course it isn't pseudoscience that the cold virus generally replicates easier in colder temperatures, it's been shown in actual scientific studies, much like chiropractic being bunk.[/QUOTE] Yeah you did say those things, those are paraphrases of your actual quotes which are far more embarrassing. In response to HybridTheory posting the study (Nuh uh!!!!!) [quote] No, the cold virus is more common in the winter, but being cold does not induce/infect you with a cold which is what a lot of people assume is true since hey it kinda makes sense that being very cold gives you a cold. [/quote] In response to me posting the extract (Thanks for confirming what I already know!!!!). [QUOTE=CrimsonChin;50562248]Well thank you for citing this study which only agrees with and confirms what I said which is that a cold is caused by a virus, not 'being in cold weather' which is a common belief.[/QUOTE] In response to me, again (NO ITS STILL JUST A VIRUS!!!!) [QUOTE=CrimsonChin;50562309]Okay and that means you get infected by a virus not 'get a cold by being cold for extended periods of time' which is what I said right from the start so shut up and stop talking about some irrelevant tidbit.[/QUOTE] also nice touch with the profile message [t]http://i.imgur.com/ehl4tCs.png[/t]

[QUOTE=bdd458;50562561]Yeah you did say those things, those are paraphrases of your actual quotes which are far more embarrassing. In response to HybridTheory posting the study (Nuh uh!!!!!) In response to me posting the extract (Thanks for confirming what I already know!!!!). In response to me, again (NO ITS STILL JUST A VIRUS!!!!)[/QUOTE] And what part of what I said was wrong? Considering that it's exactly what is shown in the citation? Nothing? Okay, so stop talking about it.

[QUOTE=CrimsonChin;50562659]And what part of what I said was wrong? Considering that it's exactly what is shown in the citation? Nothing? Okay, so stop talking about it.[/QUOTE] you outright denied that there is a correlation between the cold and getting a cold, which some research is now showing that there is a correlation. [QUOTE=bdd458;50562395]Thus, it can be deduced from those studies and data (among other studies that the NAS has published corroborating that story) that [I]being in the cold does seem to correlate with an increased risk for getting a cold.[/I] so yes, [I]being the cold does make you more likely to get a cold [/I]based upon the research and data we actually have. or is all that just pseudoscience too[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=bdd458;50562706]you outright denied that there is a correlation between the cold and getting a cold, which some research is now showing that there is a correlation.[/QUOTE] So you're saying: [QUOTE]A cold is a disease which caused by a virus that is present in higher numbers during cold seasons. A commonly held misconception, that a cold can be caused by being cold for prolonged periods of time or by not wearing enough clothing outside in the cold, is false,[/QUOTE] Is wrong?

:snip: this argument is dumb and is going nowhere

[QUOTE=CrimsonChin;50562745]So you're saying: Is wrong?[/QUOTE] Or, perhaps, a little bit of both? The lack of heat lets viruses flourish, and also makes people more susceptible to illness? Which could explain why we have wildly varying seasons for illness.

[QUOTE=Pantz Master;50558751]Try this next guys: [img]http://images-cdn.9gag.com/photo/aKqGrzZ_700b.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] I have been doing this for most of my life and never realized how bad doing that is... Fuck you for reminding me, because all my life I'm stuck with this fucking crack everytime I move my right wrist.

[QUOTE=Killer900;50562507]I hate all of you[/QUOTE] you tried to do the exercise in the video without praying to jesus first didn't you i did that and first time my lumbar just exploded out of my body like a cannon, now i can't bend my torso

Just tried it myself. My arms feels tired and my shoulders cracked a ton, but my posture does feel different.

[QUOTE=RikohZX;50561723]why are you so deadset on pseudoscience and real science and shitting all over everyone that believes you sound insanely concentrated on proving that chiropractors are all malicious scheming scammers, you're even going after the sarcastic/exaggerated jokes and people not even related to your craziness that's rapidly derailing the thread and what kind of average american uses 'charlatans' on the internet[/QUOTE] He probably saw the Penn and Teller Bullshit episode on chiropractors and drew his conclusions from there.

I dont feel any better. I feel like put myself in an awkward position and strained everything, and breaking the position was the pleasure if relief rather than fixing anything.

[QUOTE=Str4fe;50561174]If you do that very carefully, slowly and with very little force, youll notice that it hurts a bit. If you do that with force, it is likely that youll break that tendon.[/QUOTE] Yeah, just tried and it burns like fuck m8 [editline]22nd June 2016[/editline] Why did I do it, it gets even worse. And my OCD starts motivating me to do it again

Has anyone noticed that when you do this, it's like your body wants to take deep natural breaths continually for a little while after? It feels absolutely amazing, like you suddenly have room for more air.

ok so is the consensus that this is safe? i mean the flicking your wrist 4chan thing looks harmless but is actually harmful if you actually do it. I tried the exercise in the OP twice and it seemed to work but i only did it for a day

[QUOTE=ashxu;50564738]ok so is the consensus that this is safe? i mean the flicking your wrist 4chan thing looks harmless but is actually harmful if you actually do it. I tried the exercise in the OP twice and it seemed to work but i only did it for a day[/QUOTE] Its literally just calisthenics. If you've ever played sports or participated in gym class you've stressed your body much harder than this.

Well did it just once now but there was a lot of cracking So that's what it feels like to do exercises

guys i did this and some weird gas started evacuating my body and it made me pass out and when i woke up i was in the hospital and the doctor said i inhaled something like mustard gas???? DO NOT DO THIS [editline]22nd June 2016[/editline] On a serious note I actually just tried this. Felt some things pop I've never felt before. Felt really good. I was JUST sitting in my chair and hunched over like fuck, now I'm sitting with an appropriate posture. I also kept feeling something in my upper back like a knot. That's basically gone now. I think I'm gonna keep doing this.
