This is by far the best exercise for correcting your posture that I've found.

I've been suffering with trapezium, shoulder, rhomboid and scapula pain for over 5 years now (it's been progressive), the exercise I've found to help me the most is the so called "wall angels" At first glance the exercised seemed so silly, until I decided trying it and realized how freaking stiff all my back muscles were. I couldn't touch my elbows and wrists to the wall, but little by little, day by day, I was able to reach further and further and it actually didn't took so long. In 5 days or so I was already able to touch my elbows and wrists and a good deal of the pain was gone. Now I'm trying to go further up without removing neither elbows or wrists from the wall, which has been proving really challenging as well, but equally satisfying when pain relief is regarded. Obs: watch out for that pain, specially if it erradiates to your whole arm and forearm, I had an MRI done and found out I actually have cervical problems and I'll be needing physiotherapy, but the exercise I mentioned is still really good though. If I could recommend something else, I would recommend doing some yoga or taichi. Those two are incredibly great at showing you what your actual range / reach limitations are.

Every body type is different, we recommend you talk to a health professional such as a personal trainer, physical therapist, or your doctor - especially if you are in pain. Hope you get it figured out and feel better!

Can I ask a question? I don’t understand the “lower back flat against the wall” - you mean the lower and upper part of the lower back, or also the arch? I can’t get my entire lower back against the wall, the arch remains there. Is that not right? Many thanks

@DubElementMusic 4 месяца назад

probably 7 months too late... over all, just try to put everything from your body on the wall sry my english sucks but i hope you know what i mean

@darraghodonnell6954 3 месяца назад

Also probably late, you can move your feet out from the wall, if it helps keep lower back flat.

@DubElementMusic 3 месяца назад

still probably late, but he's right.

If your first instruction is how to place your legs and knees, maybe the camera should show where to place your legs and knees.

We cannot help you effectively without being aware of your medical history and daily life, we recommend you speak with your doctor - especially if you are experiencing any pain.

@seohlengtay6011 2 года назад

Can this be done with ankles touching the wall??

@ViveHealth 2 года назад

The main priority is for your back to be as flat as possible against the wall. If that means your heels touch the wall then that's okay! If you experience any pain, stop immediately and consult with your doctor.

@AnArtisticToad 10 месяцев назад

He looks so disappointed in the thumbnail. Lol. Was doing these last night, and couldn't remember if the lower back was supposed to be on the wall. Figured it wasn't because our spines naturally curve, but guess I was wrong.

@bernardogarza9322 Год назад

For how long should I do this and how many times a day. Thanks

@ViveHealth Год назад

Hello! We recommend you speak with your healthcare professional or physical trainer about what they recommend for you. They should be aware of your medical history and can tell you what may be best and even create a regimen for you to be pain free.

@Miguelsilvak Год назад

I'm doing this exercise as prescribed by my physiotherapist, I am doing with her some sessions of global postural reeducation. I have a little issue now. Sometimes when doing this exercise and opening the arms to the sides while pressing spine against wall I felt numbness in my hands and forearms which resolved if closing the arms. When I went to my last session I opened my arms and started feeling numbness in my thumb and forearm which did not resolve until now and it has been almost 2 weeks. Can it be a pinched nerve?

Your feet need to be from 6 to 12 inches from the wall.
