I fixed my winged scapula and neck hump

After years of being chronically online while sitting in a slouched position, my neck slowly turned into this mess.

I already had headaches almost every day and this rhomboid pain that never went away, I even took medicine against the pain. I went to doctors, then multiple physios after that, and every single one of them told me something different, and none of it actually worked. Honestly a big part of that was on me too, because I did the exercises on and off and actually felt like the pain got worse, so I never actually stuck with any of it consistently, not even for a full month at a time.

So over the last 6 months I've been doing the exercises every single day.

I actually learned a lot for the rhomboid pain specifically: what I found out is that you need a certain amount of tension for the muscle to actually activate. Strengthening my lats helped take a lot of the constant load off my rhomboids, since my serratus anterior was basically deactivated. Scapular push-ups didn't do anything for me even though everyone recommends them, what actually worked was wall slides with a foam roller.

for the neck hump specifically: the biggest thing I got wrong for years was doing chin tucks like a head nod instead of an actual back retraction, if you feel it in the front of your throat instead of the back of your neck, you're doing it wrong. once I got consistent with chin tucks + thoracic extension, the hump visually shrank on its own without me doing anything targeted at that spot directly. I hope this helps someone!

Why does the skin on the sides of my back look like it's sagging?

Could this be related to my posture? The sagging started when the pain in my back began to increase, and I am not overweight

Is Vibration plate actually helpful ?

I just wanted to know if all the Instagram hype is real about the vibration plate. Does it actually help in lymphatic drainage? What can I expect from it and the best brand in India to get vibration place from?

From 100 to 3k Skipps..

I began my fitness journey in late 2024 (around November i think) with nothing more than a skipping rope…..

Started with 100 skips/day…
and Increased to 500/day within about a week
Reached 1,000/day after a couple of months
Eventually switched to a 15-minute timer instead of counting a target…
Today I consistently complete 2,500–3,000 skips Ina 15 mins….

Since 6 months i am doing them under 250 breaths per the total session

At the start of **2025…**I made it a habit to do 50 bodyweight squats every day… till now and reached to a 20 kg squats 100 per day

I got 285 Skipps in a minute and i do 6 most Skipps ina single jump

Now i am addicted to skipping like a drug… if i didnt do that a single day i felt like something missing like…
