Head Up, Hips Level

One routine for the whole slump — the forward head and rounded shoulders up top, and the forward-tilting pelvis pushing your belly out below. Every photo is pulled straight from your own physiotherapy references.

Two short reads before the exercises — what the pattern is, and how to fit the work into a week.

The five phases

Work them in this order within a session: release what is tight, mobilize the joints, stretch, then strengthen what is weak. The daily resets stand on their own and belong in every day.

  1. Phase 01 · 6 exercises

    Daily Resets

    Every day, ~6 minutes — at your desk, in the kitchen, between calls.

  2. Phase 02 · 6 exercises

    Release

    Two or three minutes of self-massage to take the brakes off — a tight muscle lets go faster than it stretches.

  3. Phase 03 · 5 exercises

    Mobilize

    Free the joints, open the mid-back, and find your neutral pelvis before you load anything.

  4. Phase 04 · 9 exercises

    Stretch the Tight

    The short, overactive muscles that pull you out of line.

  5. Phase 05 · 14 exercises

    Wake the Weak

    The lengthened, switched-off muscles that should hold you upright.
