A chiropractor shows 3 simple exercises that will help eliminate the ‘humpback’ and correct posture

Exercise 3: Activate the entire postural chain with the “YWLT”

Goal  : Improve overall posture and strengthen forgotten muscles.

This sequence uses several letters to guide arm movements:

  • Raise your arms in a “Y” shape, palms facing forward,  keeping your shoulders relaxed . Take two deep breaths.
  • Move into a “W” shape, as in the previous exercise. Two breaths.
  • Then in an “L” shape: arms against the body, forearms parallel to the ground.
  • Finally, in a “T”: arms at shoulder height, parallel to the ground, palms facing forward.

Hold each position for two deep breaths. This sequence  engages your entire back posture  and releases tension.

When and how to practice them?

These exercises can be done 2 to 3 times a day, including:

  • In the morning when I wake up,
  • During a break at the office,
  • Or in the evening to release accumulated tension.

They only take 5 minutes and  do not require any specific equipment .

Visible and lasting results

Within days, you’ll feel less tension. Within weeks, your posture will improve. Your loved ones may even notice that you’re  naturally standing straighter . It’s a bit like  tuning an instrument: every movement brings you closer to postural harmony .
