She thicc.
Why can’t we correct posture consciously?
I was extremely skeptical, but after trying it really seems to help. It may all be in my head maybe, but its helping regardless. I'm very surprised.
I am having awful back pain at the moment while watching this. Hope the eye exercises helps. Thanks for the video.
wow
👌
Thank you for this video! 👍😊💯💯💯
Amazing!
Thanks a million! 💐
Very interesting.
I completely disagree. You can improve posture with your conscious mind. Over time my posture has improved.
Greaaat !!! Thank you
Awesome share. Posture is soo imp. Thanks
If that’s the case – what about children who are born with visual impairments (blind)?
There could be an elaboratedemo of how to do it
Wow，this is amazing. Thank you
And the treatment for this is the Square 1 System. Google it. It's more effective than what you've seen here
Not going to lie, I was a huuuuuuuuuge skeptic. Like the audience member asked to come up.. My thoughts: all staged. Tried this right after the video, and I swear I could feel myself just align. It was crazy… but it was only for like 5 minutes after the exercise which I did for much longer than 30 seconds. I'm going to continue to do this and see whether or not great posture is possible with continued eye exercise.
This is complete pseudoscience… imagine claiming that 90 PERCENT of the world's population has postural imbalances and then claiming that it's NOT normal??? Does this lady know what normal means? Your facial structure is also assymetrical, that doesn't mean that it causes pain. Studies consitently fail to find significant correlations between resting posture and pain (occupational postural stressors are a different story). Plenty of people live pain-free with what would clinically be described as scoliosis, hyperkyphosis, and hyperlordosis. Plenty of elite marathon runners have flat feet and heavy knee valgus. And the demonstration she gave? She literally told her that her that she was shrugging her shoulder. Through the power of suggestion, she managed to get her to stop shrugging it as much. This means nothing. The resulting small pain reduction? A simple placebo effect.
Annette Verpillot you are great!!! God bless!!!
Awesome video, thank you.
Thanks, God Bless you!
