Chris Heria and Dr. Jason on Posture Improvement and Height

Introduction

• Presenter: Chris Heria
• Guest: Dr. Jason, Chiropractor in Miami
• Main Topics: Routine for Posture Improvement, Potential Height Increase

Causes of Bad Posture

1. Trauma:
   • Example: Whiplash (rapid acceleration-deceleration injury)
   • Common in sports and accidents
2. Bad Posture:
   • Example: Slouching while sitting
   • Ligaments deform after 11 minutes in a certain position
3. Muscle Weakness:
   • Weak core leading to posterior translation and hyperextension
   • Body compensates by moving the head forward

Negative Effects of Bad Posture

• Spinal Tension: Disruption of natural spinal curves (lordosis and kyphosis)
• Symptoms:
  • Neck: Headaches, allergies, fatigue, neck pain
  • Upper Back: Wrist, hand, and finger numbness or pain
  • Lower Back: Digestive issues (gas, cramping, bloating, diarrhea, constipation), menstrual problems in women, and erectile dysfunction in men

Correcting Bad Posture

• Methods:
  • Exercise to reform ligament position
  • Seeking help from chiropractors for severe cases
  • Correcting posture in 30 to 40 visits for critical conditions

Height and Energy Considerations

• Height: Loss of spinal curve and disc degeneration cause height reduction
• Energy: Bad posture drains energy (analogy with handstands)
• Muscle Tone: Maintaining spinal curves and muscle tone to prevent height loss

Routine for Posture Improvement

1. Supermans or Back Extensions:
   • Engage muscles of the cervical and thoracic spine
   • Counteract poor posture from sitting and using devices
2. Longest Coli Exercise:
   • Tuck chin for engagement
   • Deep cervical muscles for counteracting forward head posture
3. Hollow Hold:
   • Strengthen lower back, particularly L5 S1 nerves
   • Regressions provided if necessary
4. Neck and Chest Lift:
   • Use elbows on mat for initial support, advanced by hands
   • Strengthen posterior neck extensors
5. Hamstring and Glute Bridge:
   • Use sliders to engage posterior chain (neck, back, abs, hamstrings, glutes)
6. Wall Hold:
   • Head, upper back, and lower back against wall
   • Activates entire posterior muscle chain

Measurement and Results

• Height Measurement: Initial height: 5'10.5"; Post-routine height: 5'11"
• Conclusion: Immediate improvement in posture and height
• Long-term Advice: Regular practice of these exercises; seek professional help for severe issues
