Posture Guy Mike | Particl Company Profile

Your posture problems? They don’t start at the shoulders — they start at the hips. When your pelvis tilts out of alignment — from too much sitting, poor walking mechanics, or tight hip muscles — it throws off your entire posture chain. Your spine compensates, your shoulders round forward, and your upper back gets stiff. This exercise helps reset everything from the ground up. Standing on a slant board (or you can DIY it with a cutting board and some books). Here’s how to do it: * Feet slightly pigeon-toed * Heels, hips, upper back, and head touching wall * Knuckles to your temples, thumbs down * Touch your elbows together then open wide This position resets your hips and pelvis, restores spinal alignment, and improves mobility in your shoulders and upper back.

 You’ll get guided routines for: * Forward Head Posture * Rounded Shoulders * Kyphosis * Duck Feet * Sciatica * And more Big thanks to @anatomy.of.motion for the graphic breakdown! #PostureStartsAtTheHips #RoundedShoulders #PelvicAlignment #PostureFix #PostureTherapist #ImprovePosture #PostureReset #SlantBoard #MobilityMatters #BetterAlignment #StandTaller #PostureCorrection #HipAlignment #SpineHealth #PostureAwareness #PostureGuyMike

These 5 exercises might look simple, but when you do them daily—your body feels the shift.
 Within a week, you’ll notice more mobility, less tension, and better alignment. Your body wants this kind of movement—it just needs you to stay consistent. Try this quick 5-move routine to: 
✔️ Restore mobility + strength
✔️ Improve posture and joint alignment
✔️ Release tension and stiffness 1. Bridge Press - 10 reps
Feet flat, hands behind you, lift your hips toward the sky. This opens your chest, activates glutes, and boosts hip mobility. 2. Counter Stretch - 1 min
Hands on a counter or sturdy surface, sink your hips back. Great for shoulder mobility, spinal decompression, and full-body release. 3. Thoracic Opener - 20 reps
From hands and knees, one hand behind your head, rotate and open through your upper back. A game-changer for tight shoulders and spine. 4. Goalpost Rotations - 30 reps 
Lying on your back with legs elevated, rotate your arms inward and outward in a goalpost position. This gently activates and resets the shoulder joint. 5. Pullovers - 25 reps
On your back, legs elevated, interlace fingers with straight elbows and reach overhead. Opens the chest, shoulders, and resets upper back tension.

Been Sitting for Hours? Here’s Part 2 to Reset Your Posture Long hours at a desk, in the car, or on the couch? Your body adapts—but not in a good way. The hip flexors—especially the psoas—get tight and shortened. Your glutes weaken, your pelvis tilts forward (anterior tilt), and your alignment gets thrown off. That shift doesn’t stop at your hips. It affects your entire posture: 
• Low back overcompensates
• Upper back rounds
• Shoulders collapse
• Neck tension builds If you haven’t seen Part 1, check it out on my profile—this is the perfect follow-up. Here’s another simple move you can do right now to keep reversing those effects and bring your body back into balance. What this move does: 
• Helps remove rotation from the hips and pelvis
• Gently corrects anterior pelvic tilt
• Restores your low back into a neutral position
• Balances out uneven hips and realigns your posture Want the full routine?

Poor posture starts younger than most people realize. 
Backpacks, screen time, and long days at school all add up—and our kids are building postural habits that shape their growth and their health. That’s why my mom/sister and I co-authored a brand new book called “Even A Lobster Has Good Posture.” 
It’s a fun, engaging way to teach posture awareness at a young age—because good posture is more than just sitting up straight. Here’s what it really supports: 
• Less pain and fewer injuries as they grow
• Healthy alignment of bones and muscles
• Greater confidence and social presence
• Better breathing, focus, and learning
• Strong habits that stick into adulthood
• Improved athletic performance and play This book helps parents and kids build healthy routines from the ground up. Because posture isn’t just how they look—it’s how they live. We’re so excited to empower the next generation with this message. Let’s raise strong, confident, pain-free kids—together. You can get the book by clicking the link in my bio or searching “Even A Lobster Has Good Posture” on Amazon! #PostureMatters #HealthyKids #ChildrensBook #GoodPosture #PostureAwareness #PainFreeKids #PostureEducation #EvenALobsterHasGoodPosture #PostureGuyMike #PostureStartsYoung #StrongKids #ConfidentKids #ScreenTimeBalance #KidsHealth #AmazonBooks #parentingtips

Dealing with rounded shoulders? You’re not alone. Here are two simple yet powerful moves to help restore shoulder mobility and improve alignment: Beginner Level:
Stand facing a wall with your forehead resting on a towel. Hold another towel overhead, wider than shoulder-width. Slowly bring the towel down behind your back to your lower spine, then return it overhead. Controlled movement is key! Advanced Level:
Lie face down with a towel under your forehead. Perform the same movement, guiding the towel from overhead to behind your back. This added resistance from the floor makes it more challenging—and more effective! Rounded shoulders are often caused by sitting too long, slouching, or repetitive habits—and if ignored, they can lead to long-term pain and stiffness. These two exercises are a great start, but they’re just the beginning. Comment “ROUNDED SHOULDERS” for access to my full 20-week program built to fix this at the root.

Your body falls out of alignment while you sleep. 
That’s normal — even good sleep can tighten or shorten muscles overnight. But here’s the fix:
Start your day with a few simple corrective exercises to re-align your body, straighten out imbalances, and set yourself up for a pain-free, energized day. Inside this video, are the best 3 sleeping positions that support better spinal alignment: 1. On your back with a pillow under your knees 2. On your side with a pillow between your knees 3. (Not my top pick) On your stomach with a pillow under your stomach for support Want guided morning routines built for posture and pain relief?

Find out if you have rounded shoulders — take the test: 
Stand with your back flat against a wall. If your upper back touches but your head doesn’t, your shoulders are likely rounding forward. This happens from too much sitting, tech use, and weak postural muscles. Left unchecked, it can lead to neck pain, shoulder tightness, and even a hunched spine. Try this stretch:
Lie on your stomach with your forehead on the floor, arms bent at 90°, and resting on pillows. Hold for 3–5 minutes to open your chest and restore alignment. Comment “rounded shoulders” and I’ll send you my full 20-week program to fix forward head posture, rounded shoulders, and kyphosis.

Rounded shoulders are one of the most common posture issues today—and they don’t just affect how you look, but how you move and feel. They’re caused by hours of sitting, screen time, driving, and daily habits that pull your shoulders forward and weaken your upper back. If you don’t fix it, it can lead to neck pain, tension headaches, poor breathing, shoulder injuries, and chronic stiffness. Here are 5 corrective exercises to help fix rounded shoulders: 1. Band Pull-Aparts – Strengthen your upper back and restore shoulder alignment. 2. Wall Elbow Openers with Side Bends – Open your chest, mobilize your spine, and improve posture. 3. Wall Shoulder Rotations – Improve shoulder mobility by training external rotation. 4. Thoracic Rotations – Increase upper back movement and undo the hunch. 5. Shoulder Blade Drops – Activate stabilizing muscles and support better alignment. This is just a small part of what’s inside my Rounded Shoulders Posture Program.

When your spine rounds forward, your shoulder blades can’t move properly, causing them to shut down. This leads to weakness and tightness in the shoulders, which can result in pain when you try to lift your arms. But don’t worry, there’s a simple way to restore shoulder alignment and activate those muscles again! This exercise involves placing your hands on the wall, dropping through your shoulder blades, and touching your chest. Repeat, and you’ll start to feel your shoulders come back to life. 💥 Struggling with rounded shoulders?

Poor posture doesn’t just affect your spine—it starts from the hips and impacts everything above it, including your shoulders. In this video, I’m showing a seated posture reset that targets the deep stabilizers in your hips and helps realign the pelvis. When your hips are in the right position, your spine can stack properly—and that directly affects how your shoulders sit and move. Here’s how to do it: Sit near the edge of a chair, roll your hips forward to create a natural curve in your lower back. Feet slightly pigeon-toed, knees stacked over your ankles. Relax your stomach, shoulder blades back, palms on your thighs, and look straight ahead. Now gently squeeze a pillow between your knees, hold for one second, then release. If you feel one side engage before the other—that’s your imbalance showing up. Keep going for 60 reps to help balance it out. This is just one piece of the full solution.

If your hips are out of alignment, it can look like one leg is longer than the other—but it’s usually a tilt or rotation in your pelvis. That can create uneven pressure through your lower body, irritate the sciatic nerve, and throw off your entire posture. Here are 5 simple wall exercises to start realigning your hips and relieving pressure: 1. Knee Drops – Feet on the wall, drop knees outward 2. Reverse Butterfly – Soles of feet together, knees fall open 3. Leg Crossover Stretch – Cross one leg over, push knee away 4. Wall Rotations (Narrow) – Legs up, toes back, rotate hips 5. Wall Rotations (Wide) – Same as above, but wider stance These target imbalances in the hips, pelvis, and lower spine to help you realign naturally and gently. Want the full program?

Most people don’t realize this, but your posture starts with your feet. When you spend years in shoes that are too narrow, elevated at the heel, and restrict toe movement, it changes how you walk, stand, and even how your body aligns. Crammed toes don’t just cause bunions—they also throw off your foundation, which affects your knees, hips, spine, and shoulders.That’s where @vivobarefoot shoes come in. They’re designed to support the body the way nature intended— * A wide toe box lets your toes splay naturally, * A thin, flexible sole reconnects you to the ground, and * A zero-drop design (no raised heel) helps keep your joints in alignment from the ground up. Think about it: when your feet are stuck in shoes that force them out of position, your entire body has to compensate. That can lead to foot pain, bunions, imbalances, and posture issues. But when your feet are free to move, your whole body works better. I’ve partnered with Vivobarefoot because I believe in their mission, and I wear their shoes daily. If you want to improve your posture, reduce foot pain, or avoid bunions and long-term joint issues—start with your shoes. Use my exclusive code POSTUREGUY25 for 25% off (limited time only).

The Psoas Muscle: The Most Important Muscle for Posture Most people don’t even know where the psoas is—yet it’s one of the most powerful posture muscles in the body. It starts deep in the inner part of your thigh (femur), travels through your pelvis and abdominal wall, and attaches to the front of your spine at T12–L5. 
It’s the only muscle that connects your upper body to your lower body—and when it’s short or tight from sitting, it can pull your spine, pelvis, and posture completely out of balance. The position I’m showing here—one leg at 90°, the other straight, lying on your back—gently separates the hips and gives the psoas space to lengthen naturally. Breathe deeply into your stomach and let it release. Want to unlock your psoas and fix posture issues like forward head, rounded shoulders, and back pain?
