Your head does not move forward by itself. Forward head posture develops through a chain reaction involving the chest, shoulders, upper back, and neck. Many people focus only on stretching the neck, but the neck is often where the stress appears, not where the problem begins. A tight chest can pull the shoulders forward. A changed shoulder position can affect the movement of the shoulder blades. As the upper body alignment changes, the head gradually moves forward to maintain balance.
This book explains the muscle connections behind forward head posture and provides a step-by-step approach to restoring better alignment. You will learn:Why forward head posture developsThe difference between straight neck, text neck, and forward head postureHow the chest, shoulders, and upper back influence neck positionHow the trapezius, sternocleidomastoid, scalenes, splenius muscles, semispinalis, multifidus, and deep neck muscles affect postureWhy forward head posture can be associated with neck stiffness, shoulder heaviness, headaches, dizziness, arm discomfort, shallow breathing, and jaw tensionHow to release tight muscles, activate weakened muscles, and maintain better posture in daily lifeForward head posture is not only a neck issue.
