Your back has been making decisions without you — years of desks and phones have quietly voted your shoulders forward. The mirror test takes ten seconds, requires no equipment, and tells you exactly how the election went. Then we fix it.

The Test

Stand sideways to a mirror, relax completely (no cheating — posture tests hate posers). If your ear floats ahead of your shoulder and your hands hang in front of your thighs, the slouch won this term.

The Knuckle Tell

Look down at your hanging hands. Knuckles facing forward means rounded shoulders — your palms should face your thighs, not the road ahead. Small clue, loud verdict.

The Three-Move Recount

Daily: band pull-aparts (15), doorway chest stretch (30 seconds a side), wall slides (10). The pullers strengthen, the front un-shortens, and the vote flips within weeks.

The Re-Test Ritual

Same mirror, same slouch-honesty, every two weeks. Progress photos beat memory — your brain will swear nothing changed while the photos quietly prove otherwise.

Ten seconds of mirror honesty, three moves, re-test in two weeks. Your back has been campaigning forward for years — consider this the recount it deserves.
