Let’s talk about ANTERIOR HEAD CARRIAGE — also commonly called forward head posture.
WHAT CAN LEAD TO IT?
Long term looking down, prolonged sitting and driving, poor postural habits overtime, and muscle weakness, tightness, and imbalances
HOW CAN IT IMPACT YOUR SPINE?
Ideally, your head is positioned over your shoulders. When it continually sits forward, the muscles and joints of your neck and upper back have to work differently to support it.
Over time, this may contribute to:
✨ Neck and upper-back tension
✨ Tight shoulders
✨ Headaches in some people
✨ Reduced neck and upper-back mobility
✨ Rounded shoulders and changes in posture
✨ Increased stress on the muscles and joints supporting your cervical spine
SO…WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT?
This is where movement, strengthening, posture awareness, and chiropractic care can all play a role!
Pro tip: Your BEST posture is your NEXT posture! Instead of trying to sit perfectly all day, take regular breaks, change positions, get up, and MOVE.
