INSIGHT

Forward Head Adds Significant Load

  • For every inch your head moves forward you add about ten pounds of load to your upper back and neck.
  • This increased load explains why forward head posture creates significant neck and upper back tension.
INSIGHT

Fascia, Not Laziness, Drives Posture

  • Bad posture is not just laziness; the root cause is tightened fascia that adapts to habitual positions.
  • Changing that fascia shape is key to fixing posture rather than only treating muscles or joints.
ADVICE

Do Lateral Bends With A Band

  • Use a band, broomstick, or pole behind your head and perform lateral bends ten times each side to open chest fascia.
  • This reverses anterior chest tightness and helps you sit more neutrally the next day.
