Do you spend most of your days in front of a computer or doing something that requires you to bend your back? If you do it eight or nine hours a day, your posture will surely suffer. But don’t worry! You can fix your hunchback posture with this simple exercise by Upright Health. It’s super easy to do, and you only need about 3 minutes per day. I have been doing these for weeks now, and I see a lot of improvements already.
Equipment
- a blank piece of wall
Instructions
Step 1:
Put your back against the wall and start sinking yourself down the wall so that your hips are going into what’s called flection. This closes the angle between your thighs and your torso. You don’t have to go all the way down into a 90-degree bend. Make sure you cannot slide your hand under your back.

Step 2:
Make sure you feel the mid-back section also flat against the wall. Keep your chin tucked and pull the back of your head into the wall. If you have a really hunched back and you try to do it at first, you might see there’s a big gap between the upper back and the wall. So make sure to keep the chin tucked, your eyes level on the horizon, and the back of your head into the wall. It may take a while to get used to. If you can’t do it at first, that’s fine. Just focus.
Step 3:
Keep your knees just slightly bent. If you lock your knees, you’re going to stress them out. You can also sit down on the floor, with your knees bent or straight.
Step 4:
Hold the position for two and a half to three and a half minutes. That will give you enough time to feel the muscles alongside your spine. If you have a hunch-back posture, do this exercise at least twice a day.
