If you are stuck with forward head posture, we’ve got your back… or at least your neck.
Last week we discussed the fact that some deformities are flexible, and others are fixed. If you have a developmental condition such as Scheunemann’s Kyphosis or severe DDD or previous fracture of the spine, you may not be able to correct your head forward posture.
You may have gone to your doctor and they have told you that your choices are to live with it, or to have a major surgery to try and correct the spinal alignment. Not great options, right! Here is where we come in. We will teach you to awaken the muscles that support your spine.
This will prevent or slow the progression of your arthritis or painful malalignment. But there could be more that we can do. I have always been a big believer in our body’s ability to adapt.
So, if we are stuck with head forward carriage, what can we do to try and decrease pain, improve balance and prevent falls?
This is where Dan the Brain Man, our very own Functional Neurologist comes in.
We are so excited to have Dan Gallucci join us today to review how our neck posture, eyes and ears work together and what we can do to try and stay upright and afloat when our head is stuck too far forward.
Here is the link for last week if you missed it or want to refresh what we talked about:
