Episode notes
Dowager's Hump Formation
- A dowager's hump, common in women over 40, forms at the C7/T1 vertebrae.
- It's linked to forward head posture, which amplifies head weight and stresses the neck and shoulders.
Postural Imbalance
- The human body is designed for a balance of forward (flexion) and backward (extension) movements.
- Many modern activities promote excessive flexion, contributing to postural issues like the dowager's hump.
Estrogen, Bone Loss, and Dowager's Hump
- The C7/T1 point, related to the dowager's hump, indicates bone loss in QRA testing.
- This connects estrogen dominance, a known contributor to bone loss, with the hump's formation.
